Luna Apartment Deluxe

Luna Apartment Deluxe Overview

Luna Apartment Deluxe is tucked away on ul. Krasickiego 9, right near the old fishermen’s pier that locals still call “Pierskowa.” I walked in the first summer afternoon, the air already buzzing with the scent of fresh pierogi and the salty tang of the Baltic. The lobby is surprisingly airy, with a low wooden counter that feels more like a home office than a hotel desk. The staff, a pair of young Poles who greeted me with a warm “Cześć!” and a quick tour of the apartment, made the whole check‑in feel like a welcome to a neighbor’s house rather than a corporate exchange.

Once I slipped into the living area, I noticed the big windows framing a view of the river that’s perfect for late‑afternoon tea. The apartment is a solid four‑star setup: the sofa is plush, the kitchenette is stocked with all the essentials—coffee, milk, a small selection of local honey—and the bathroom, while not huge, feels freshly painted and spotless. I appreciated the little touches, like the hand‑stitched linen set that came with a note saying, “Use this when you’re feeling a bit tired.” The Wi‑Fi is fast, and the TV offers a decent selection of Polish channels, which was a nice bonus for getting a bit of local news after a day of exploring.

Parking is a bit of a hidden gem. Right outside the building, a narrow lane is used by locals for their cars and mopeds; there’s a small, often overlooked space that I found free of charge—though it’s a tight squeeze, so you’ll want a compact ride. The neighborhood itself is an interesting mix of old and new: on the corner you’ll spot a tiny bistro serving pierogi, and just a block over, a new art gallery with rotating exhibitions that locals love. I remember my friend telling me, “If you’re in the mood for a quiet walk, just head to the garden across the street—no crowds, just the sound of the sea and the occasional gull.” The noise level at night is minimal, thanks to the building’s thick walls, and the street is quiet after 10 p.m., so you can sleep without the city’s hum.

During my stay, I noticed a few things that could be improved. The air conditioning in the apartment is a bit noisy at first, especially when you set it to a cooler temperature—it’s like a faint whirring that keeps you awake for a few minutes. Also, the bathroom mirror was a little scratched, but that’s a minor quibble that doesn’t detract from the overall experience. The only real advantage is how the place is a short walk from the train station; the Gdańsk main station is just a 10‑minute stroll and another 15 minutes to the city center. If you’re traveling in the high season, you’ll find that the area around ul. Krasickiego gets a bit busier, but it’s still easy to navigate—just avoid the main square on Tuesdays, when a local farmers’ market sets up.

What really makes Luna Apartment Deluxe stand out, for me, is the atmosphere. It’s not a hotel, it feels like a place that locals would rent out for a week or two. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious. I was able to leave my bags in the hallway for a day while I explored the old town, and the staff was happy to drop a small map of their favorite local cafes and a list of the best ice‑cream places in Gdańsk. Honestly, the entire experience felt like an insider’s tour—if you’re looking for comfort, a touch of local charm, and a quiet place to rest after a day of sightseeing, this is the spot. The rating of 9.5 is spot on—there’s a lot to love, and only a few small hiccups that don’t bother the overall vibe. If you’re heading to Gdańsk, consider staying here; I’m sure you’ll come back for another visit.
