Motlawa River Apartment

Motlawa River Apartment Overview

Motlawa River Apartment sits on Warzywnicza, a quiet side street that’s just a stone’s throw from the bustling Old Town. I remember arriving on a brisk October evening, the river mist curling over the cobblestones, and the building’s façade—clean, modern, with a few artful plaques that hint at the city’s history. The check‑in was a pleasant surprise: a friendly concierge, no long line, who handed me a key card with a quick rundown of the apartment’s smart‑home features. I mean, the automatic blinds, the Wi‑Fi that’s faster than most cafés, and the little note that said “Enjoy your stay!”—simple, but it felt personal, like a local neighbor.

The apartment itself is a cozy two‑bedroom loft that feels bigger than it looks. The living area opens onto a small balcony overlooking the Motława River; the sound of the water, coupled with the distant bells of St. Mary’s Church, creates a surprisingly tranquil backdrop—though you’ll hear the occasional ferry passing by, which is about as loud as a mild traffic jam. The room’s décor is a tasteful mix of contemporary polish and rustic charm: exposed brick walls, a wooden floor that creaks just a tad when you walk, and a window that frames a view of the old town’s rooftops. The kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped, with a kettle that whistles, a small fridge, and enough counter space for a quick breakfast or a late‑night snack—just enough for a couple or a solo traveler. Parking is a bit of a hassle; there’s no free street parking, but the paid lot behind the building is a short walk and offers a decent rate for a night or two.

When I’m not in the apartment, I wander down to the nearby Gdańsk Old Town. The streets—especially Piaskowa and the Long Market—are lined with cafés that serve the best pierogi in town, and the aroma of fresh bread and smoked fish fills the air. I usually head to a corner bistro on Kępa Białucha for lunch because the place has a small balcony with a view of the river, and the waiter knows my order by heart: pierogi with mushroom sauce and a glass of local amber beer. As for nightlife, the area around the Motława is surprisingly lively in the evenings, yet still far from the noise of the main squares. A few bars with a few tables and a relaxed vibe are within walking distance, and some of them even offer live jazz on weekends—something I never expected to find so close to the river.

Overall, the experience at Motlawa River Apartment is a blend of comfort and cultural immersion. The staff’s warm welcome, the apartment’s thoughtful amenities, and the proximity to historic sites make it a standout choice for anyone looking to explore Gdańsk without sacrificing a bit of luxury. I’d say it’s perfect for a quiet weekend getaway or a short business trip—just bring a spare pair of shoes for the
