BaySide Apartments MainCity

BaySide Apartments MainCity Overview

If you’re looking to soak up Gdańsk without the usual tourist fluff, I’ll point you to a gem: BaySide Apartments MainCity. It’s tucked into Garbary 6/7 m.6, so you’re literally on the water’s edge yet a quick walk from the cobblestones of the Old Town. I remember the first time I walked out, the wind was already carrying that sharp, briny smell of the Motława River and the distant hum of scooters and street musicians—just the city’s heartbeat. The lobby is surprisingly cozy, with a small café that serves a latte so strong it could wake the whole harbor. Check‑in is a breeze: the front desk staff greet you with a friendly “Dzień dobry,” and they hand over a key card that works for the whole building, no fussing with keys or codes. There’s no big, intimidating security desk, which makes the arrival feel more like coming home than a hotel experience.

Parking is a win, too. There’s a small, paid lot just a block north on Zamenhofa Street, and for those who prefer to drive into the city center, the “Park&Go” on Gdańska is only a few minutes’ walk away. I’ve driven there a couple of times during the peak summer season, and the lot’s always filled, but the staff is quick to point out an alternate spot on the side of the building—no long wait. Noise-wise, the apartment is on the 6th floor, so you’re safe from the street traffic below, but you can still hear the faint clatter of boats and the occasional shout from the harbor. It’s not a quiet sanctuary, but it’s a realistic snapshot of city life, and honestly, that’s what makes it feel authentic. The room itself is airy, with a view of the river that changes from the golden glow at sunset to the neon lights of the city at night—perfect for a quick morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

The real charm comes from the details you only notice when you’re actually there. On a sunny afternoon, you can stroll down to the nearby “Przystanek Gdańsk” bus stop and catch a tram that takes you to the European Solidarity Centre—just a 10‑minute ride. If you’re a foodie, the street stalls at the Main Market Square are a riot of flavors; I swear the smell of grilled kielbasa and fresh pierogi is unforgettable. The building’s proximity to the waterfront promenade means you can walk out for a stroll with the sound of waves and the distant call of fishermen. I’ve stayed there twice, once in the off‑season when the city is quiet and the only traffic comes from a few tourists, and once during the summer when the streets are bustling and the air is filled with the scent of seaweed and fresh bread. Both times, the apartment felt like a steady, reliable anchor amid the city’s ebb and flow. So if you want a place that feels less like a hotel and more like a place you can actually live in, BaySide Apartments MainCity is your spot.

Reviews of BaySide Apartments MainCity

• Sonja from United Kingdom – 20 September 2024 (9/10)

  You really couldn't ask for a better location if it's Gdansk's vibrant restaurant, bar and Old Town history you are looking to experience. The apartment is right on the periphery of it all, you're close to the Long Market but not so close that you'll feel completely surrounded by tourists! The apartment itself is so spacious and comfortable, it felt very homely with all of the expected facilities like WiFi, great shower, kitchen etc and there's a supermarket just around the corner for important snacks and drinks supplies. I'll definitely be back in the future I hope.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing I didn't like about the apartment but I'd advise anyone staying in Gdansk to watch out for taxi drivers trying to over charge. We were charged triple for our journey back to the airport compared to our initial journey. We did manage to negotiate a lower price but it was an unpleasant experience. Also if you want to leave luggage after checkout use the lockers in the train station which are cheaper than the private online storage apps (and easier to find!).
