Beautiful Apartment Oldtown

Beautiful Apartment Oldtown Overview

Beautiful Apartment Oldtown sits tucked between the cobblestones of Chmielna Street, just a stone’s throw from the glittering Motława River. I walked in on a rainy Thursday afternoon, the kind of rain that makes the old town glow with a silver sheen. The lobby is surprisingly airy, with a wall of glass that looks out onto the bustling Złota. From there, a narrow staircase—well, more like a ramp because the place is built on a slope—takes you to the apartment. Inside, the space feels like a loft loft; the high ceilings, the exposed beams, the polished wooden floor that creaks just enough to remind you you’re in a centuries‑old building. A large window frames a view of the river, and I could hear the distant clatter of the Gdańsk Crane and the occasional shout from a street vendor selling pierogi. The smell of fresh rye bread wafts from the bakery on Złota, and there’s a faint, comforting scent of coffee coming from the café across the street.

The check‑in was a mix of old‑school charm and modern convenience. The front desk staff were warm, but the process itself was almost a DIY affair: a small keycard box under the welcome mat, a quick scan of your ID, and a quick note that the elevator is a bit short‑statured, so if you’re carrying a lot of luggage you’ll need to take the stairs. Honestly, it’s a bit of a workout, but the view from the top floor makes every step worth it. There’s a tiny, well‑kept parking spot just outside the building, but if you’re planning to stay during the summer, be ready to hunt for street parking—you’ll find it easier on weekdays. The noise level is surprisingly low for an Old Town address; the building’s insulation is solid, so the only sounds you hear at night are the distant hum of the city and the occasional clink of glasses from a bar on Złota. I found that the quietest hours are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., when the cafés close and the streets are mostly empty.

As for the apartment itself, it’s a 4‑star sweet spot with a rating of 8.7. The kitchenette is compact but functional, with a small fridge, a single‑burner stove, and a coffee maker that a lifesaver on early mornings. The bathroom is sleek, with a walk‑in shower that’s surprisingly spacious. I appreciate the little touches—a set of fresh towels, a bottle of local water, and a note with a map of the neighborhood highlighting the best spots to grab a bite. Speaking of which, the corner of Chmielna and Złota has a tiny podwórko café that serves the best espresso in town, and a short walk away is the historic St. Mary’s Church, where you can get a panoramic view of the city. If you’re traveling in the peak season—late spring to early fall—the streets can get lively, but the apartment’s windows act like a buffer, keeping the bustle out while letting the sights in. I’m already planning my next visit; the charm, the convenience of being right in the heart of Old Town, and the authentic experience it offers make Beautiful Apartment Oldtown a place I’d recommend to any traveler who wants to feel like a local rather than a tourist.
