Elite Apartments by the Beach II

Elite Apartments by the Beach II Overview

I still remember the first time I walked into Elite Apartments by the Beach II – the lobby was surprisingly airy, with a light‑gold finish that made the space feel larger than it actually is. You know what, the check‑in was a breeze; the staff were friendly, and I got a keycard faster than I expected, which is a relief when you’re jet‑lagged after a long flight. The building sits at Jagiellońska 40, right by the old pier where you can hear gulls whistling over the waves, and it’s just a five‑minute walk to the beach. I actually took a stroll down Gdańska Street and found a tiny café that serves the best pierogi in town – a hidden gem that locals swear by. The apartment itself felt like a cozy home: the kitchen had rustic wooden cabinets, a small espresso machine, and a kettle – perfect for those early‑morning coffee rituals. The bathroom, while compact, had a surprisingly luxurious shower with a rain‑head that sprayed the whole room. I mean, the water pressure is insane, so you’re not stuck in a tiny box.

When the sun dipped, the noise level dropped to a soft hum of the waves and the occasional shout from a nearby soccer game at the stadium on Gorla Street. Honestly, the place is quiet enough to read a book without being disturbed, unless you’re sleeping and the wind outside is making the window creak. Parking is actually a bit of a hassle; the building offers a paid underground lot, but it’s a short walk from the street, so you can just park your bike or scooter on the sidewalk if you’re on a budget. I had an issue once with the Wi‑Fi – the signal was spotty in the balcony, but in the living room it was solid, so I could stream my favorite shows without buffering. The only real downside is that the apartment’s balcony is a bit narrow, so you can’t set up a full‑size folding chair with a view of the sea – but you can still hear the sand and smell the salt after a quick walk from the nearby promenade.

The best part is the real‑talk vibe the staff gave off. The receptionist – a local woman named Katarzyna – told me about the best spots for a sunset stroll on the beach and even mentioned a street art tour that starts at the old market square. She was “super helpful” and even handed me a map with handwritten notes. I swear that’s the kind of personal touch that makes you feel like you’re not just a guest but part of the community. I’ll definitely recommend Elite Apartments by the Beach II to anyone looking for a relaxed, beachside stay without the buzz of a hotel chain. The only thing to keep an eye on is the noise from the nearby night market on Nikola Szyndlera Street, but that’s a minor hiccup in an otherwise stellar experience.
