Dom & House Apartments Old Town Dluga

Dom & House Apartments Old Town Dluga Overview

Dom & House Apartments Old Town Dluga sits right on Długi Targ Street, smack in the middle of Gdańsk’s historic heart. I’ve been there a few times, and honestly, it feels like a home base that lets you step out into the city and feel its rhythm. The building itself is that charming early‑20th‑century brick façade you see in postcards, but inside, it’s all modern, with a wood‑panelled living area that smells faintly of fresh coffee from the kitchen. When you walk out onto the courtyard, you’re already in the middle of the Old Town’s hustle, with the street performers on the corner of Dluga Targowa and the smell of pierogi drifting from a nearby bakery. It’s that kind of spot where you can’t help but pause to listen to the low hum of trams and the distant laughter spilling from the cafés.

When you get there, the check‑in is quick and friendly. The receptionist—she’s a local who knows everyone’s name—handed me a key card and pointed out the hidden alley that leads directly to the Motława River promenade. Parking is a bit of a puzzle, though: there’s no onsite garage, but you can snag a spot in the street parking right on Zdąrska, or use a paid lot on the opposite side of the river if you’re willing to walk a few minutes. I found the Wi‑Fi signal surprisingly strong, and the apartment’s kitchenette is surprisingly well‑equipped, with a kettle, a small fridge, and a dishwasher that actually does its job. The only hiccup was the elevator—it’s pretty slow and sometimes feels a little cramped, but it gets the job done. Noise-wise, evenings are quiet, but early mornings (say 6 a.m.) get the city’s chatter—trams, vendors, and the occasional tourist asking for directions. I would definitely book a room with a window away from the tram tracks if you’re a light sleeper.

And then there’s the vibe: you’re right next to St. Catherine’s Gate, and just a two‑minute walk takes you to the Neptune Fountain and the bustling square where you can spot street artists painting the wind‑blown sky. A few blocks north, the Jewish Quarter’s synagogues whisper stories of centuries. I loved waking up at 9 p.m. on a summer evening, sipping a cold beer at a terrace on Gdańskiego Street while watching the sunset over the Old Town’s rooftops. In winter, the glow of street lamps and the faint scent of mulled wine from a nearby café create a cozy, almost cinematic feel. If you’re planning a trip, go early in the spring or late in the fall to avoid the peak tourist rush—then you get the city calm, and the apartments are a bit less crowded. Overall, Dom & House Apartments Old Town Dluga feels like a home that’s also a gateway to the heart of Gdańsk, with enough charm to make you feel like a local rather than a tourist.
