Mieszkanie przy zielonej bramie

Mieszkanie przy zielonej bramie Overview

Mieszkanie przy zielonej bramie is tucked into a narrow lane off Długi Targ, right where the old city’s cobbles start to mingle with the modern buzz of the port. I entered on a crisp April morning, the kind of weather that makes the whole city feel alive—you know, the wind off the Baltic that smells faintly like seaweed and fresh bread from the bakery on Str. Stary Rybak. The front door was this quaint, wooden thing that creaked open with a polite sigh. The staff was a young woman who greeted me with a warm smile and a quick mention that the keycard would unlock the apartment. Honestly, the check‑in was smoother than I expected; no long lines, just a few polite words and a quick walk to the door.

Once inside, the space felt like a secret haven. The living area is roomy, with a couch that’s soft enough to sink into after a day of walking the Old Town. I found myself pausing by the window to watch the harbor—there’s a small pier just a block away, and in the summer you can hear the gulls squawking over the boats. The apartment itself is 30 square meters, but they’ve made clever use of every corner. The kitchenette has a stainless steel stove, a compact fridge, and a single microwave. I was pleasantly surprised to find a full set of dishes, a kettle for tea, and even a small selection of local sauces—perfect for whipping up a quick pierogi. The bathroom is clean and modern, with a walk‑in shower that has a nice glass wall, and a small towel rack that’s just the right size for a single traveler.

What sets Mieszkanie przy zielonej bramie apart is its location—just a stone’s throw from the Green Gate, which is literally what the place is named after. If you’re exploring Gdańsk, you can hop on a tram from the nearby stop at Długi Targ and be in front of the Artuszek Tower in under ten minutes. For foodies, I’d recommend the fish market on Str. Główna—fresh cod, grilled herring, and a jar of salted herring that’s a must‑try. The street is bustling in the mornings but quietish by late afternoon, so you can wander without feeling rushed. Parking is a bit of a challenge; there’s a small municipal lot a few blocks away, but the streets are narrow and so are the spaces—if you’re driving, you’ll need to be patient. For those on foot or bike, the city’s bike lanes make it a breeze.

The noise level is pretty decent; the apartment sits on a quiet residential street, so you don’t hear the traffic from the main boulevard until after midnight. The only minor complaint I have is that the Wi‑Fi can be spotty on the second floor—though it’s usually fine for checking emails or streaming a short video. Also, the air conditioning unit is a bit loud at night, but the owners have a suggestion to use a small fan instead. The only real downside is that the place can be a bit chilly in the winter, so I ended up ordering a portable heater, which the staff kindly loaned me for the night. But honestly, the cozy beds and the crisp linens made up for that.

All in all, Mieszkanie przy zielonej bramie feels like a warm, well‑thought‑out slice of Gdańsk life. It’s not a hotel in the traditional sense—more like a home you’re invited to share. You’ll get the local vibe, the easy access to the main sights, and the convenience of having a small kitchen right in the middle of your own space. If you’re planning to stay in Gdańsk during the busy summer months or the holiday season, this place will be a solid, comfortable base that lets you step out, explore, and then come back to a quiet, quiet retreat. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Gdańsk like a local—without sacrificing a few of the comforts you’d expect from a 4‑star stay.
