Leon & Lucy Apartment

Leon & Lucy Apartment Overview

Leon & Lucy Apartment sits on Żabi Kruk, smack in the middle of Gdańsk’s Old Town, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Motława River. I first stumbled upon it while wandering past the cobblestone lanes near St. Catherine’s Church, the scent of fresh pierogi wafting from a nearby stall. The building’s façade, a charming mix of brick and glass, instantly felt like a welcome back home, especially when you see the little “Leon & Lucy” sign perched above the door. The check‑in was quick—no long lines, just a friendly local who handed me a keycard after a friendly chat about the best pierogi spots. You know what, that personal touch made me feel like I was staying with a friend rather than a tourist.

Inside the apartment, the décor is a playful nod to the city’s maritime history. Walls are decked with vintage navigation charts and a few quirky Gdańsk street‑art pieces, giving the space a relaxed, almost bohemian vibe. The living area boasts a comfy sofa that folds into a bed—great for travelers on a tight schedule. I’ve got to say, the kitchen is a dream for foodies; it’s fully stocked with a range of local ingredients, from fresh rye bread to a jar of the best “ślady” (Polish smoked sausage) I’ve ever tasted. The only real downside is that the bathroom’s tile feels a bit worn after a few years, but honestly, it’s still functional, and the shower’s water pressure is solid—no salt‑water shenanigans to worry about.

Noise in the area is a mixed bag. During the week, the streets are quiet, and you can hear the distant hum of traffic from Motława. But come Saturday night, the Old Town comes alive with locals and tourists alike, and the bells from St. Mary’s Church echo through the alleys. I appreciated the thick double windows, though a few nights I still caught the occasional clatter of a passing trolley. Parking can be a hassle, but the apartment offers a small, secured parking space—perfect if you’re renting a car. If you’re staying the summer season, expect the cobblestones to get hot and the air to carry the salty spray of the Baltic. In the quieter winter months, you’ll find the city’s lights reflecting off the river, creating a tranquil backdrop to your stay.

If you’re looking for an authentic Gdańsk experience, this place is a solid choice. The location is essentially a stone’s throw from the Gdańsk Crane, the bustling fish market, and the old city’s maze of cafés—just walk there, and you’ll feel the pulse of the city. The apartment’s rating of 9.4 speaks volumes: guests love the blend of modern comfort and historic charm. I left feeling like I’d returned to a favorite corner of the city—warm, welcoming, and just a bit off the beaten path. Whether you’re a first‑time visitor or a seasoned traveler, Leon & Lucy Apartment offers a slice of Gdańsk that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
