Maya’s Flats & Resorts 25 – APARTAMENT Z WIDOKIEM Bastion Walowa, Gdansk Overview

Maya’s Flats & Resorts 25 – APARTAMENT Z WIDOKIEM Bastion Walowa, Gdansk sits right on Wałowa 25, right where the old city’s cobbles meet the modern city’s pulse. I stepped out of the building’s glass doors into a light that felt like a promise, and immediately the smell of fresh sea air—though Gdańsk’s waterfront’s a stone’s throw away—mixed with the faint aroma of roasted coffee from the street café down the block. The check‑in was surprisingly smooth: a quick swipe of my key card, a friendly nod from the receptionist, and a quick rundown of the building’s quirks. I mean, the building’s a bit older, but the staff is earnest and knows the ins and outs, so you’re never left guessing. The apartment itself is spacious, a generous 35 square meters of living space, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame the city’s skyline like a living postcard. The balcony? It’s a secret garden, overlooking the old town’s rooftops and giving you a 24‑hour view of the Motława River. Honestly, the view is a daily meditation.

The interior is clean and functional, with a kitchenette that actually has a full-size fridge and a small stove—perfect for whipping up a quick pierogi or a bowl of vermicelli. The bathroom is sleek, with a rain shower that’s surprisingly soothing after a long day of walking around the Old Town. I’d say the noise level is best in the evenings; the street below is lively, especially on Thursdays when vendors set up their stalls at Stragan, but the building’s thick walls keep the chatter at a polite distance. Parking is a bit of a hunt: you’ll need to squeeze into the narrow street parking on Wałowa, but there are a couple of paid lots a block away that are usually free during the off‑season. If you’re traveling with a car, just be prepared for a quick detour. The building’s proximity to the tram stop that heads to Sopot means you can enjoy a quick beach escape without breaking a sweat—just a 15‑minute ride, and you’re on the sands of St. Mary’s Bay.

I spent my first night listening to the city’s lullaby—faint church bells from St. Mary’s and the distant hum of a tram. The next day, I took a short walk to the Gdańsk Crane (Żuraw), and the building’s location felt like a secret that I was lucky to uncover. The staff were always ready to drop a local tip: “Try the fish market at the Old Town square for fresh cod, and if you’re craving something sweet, the bakery on Gdańsk’s Main Street has the best pierogi.” The building’s name, referencing Bastion Walowa, is a nod to the historic fortifications that once guarded the city, and there’s a subtle, almost forgotten charm in that. Overall, Maya’s Flats & Resorts 25 – APARTAMENT Z WIDOKIEM Bastion Walowa, Gdansk feels like a home away from home—comfortingly modern yet steeped in local history, and honestly, a gem for anyone looking to soak up Gdańsk with a side of genuine Polish hospitality.

Exploring Gdansk offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Poland’s maritime heart, from its magnificent Gothic churches to its amber workshops and legendary shipyards where Solidarity was born.
