OLIWA Apartament przy Parku SMALL PRIVATE GARDEN AND FREE PARKING

OLIWA Apartament przy Parku SMALL PRIVATE GARDEN AND FREE PARKING Overview

OLIWA Apartament przy Parku SMALL PRIVATE GARDEN AND FREE PARKING sits on Opacka 24, right next to the little green patch that locals call the Oliwa Park corner. I first spotted it while strolling past the bakery that smells like fresh rye bread and coffee every morning—there’s a faint scent of hot pretzels drifting from the shop on Gdańska Street. The building itself is a neat four‑star block, but what makes it stand out is the tiny private garden that feels like a secret oasis; you can plant a few herbs and have a cup of tea with a view of the park’s maple trees. The front desk is at a low counter, and the staff greet you with a warm, slightly Polish “Dzień dobry” that instantly puts you at ease. Check‑in is straightforward: they hand you a keycard, show you the elevator, and point out the free parking spot right on the street—no hidden fees, no mystery meter.

I lived there for three nights during the high summer, when the city buzzes louder than a radio on 105.9 FM. Honestly, the street noise can be a bit much at first, but the walls are thick, and the windows are double‑glazed, so you only hear the distant chatter of trams and the occasional bark of a dog. The small garden is a real find, especially when you’re tired of the Gdańsk Old Town crowds; you can sit on the wooden bench, sip a grapefruit soda, and watch the locals practice their morning tai chi. Inside, the apartment is spacious, with a living area that opens onto a balcony. The décor is simple but tasteful—neutral tones, a few vintage posters of the Baltic Sea, and that little wooden table that looks like it was carved by a careful hand. I mean, it’s not a luxury suite, but it feels like home. The Wi‑Fi is reliable, and the fridge is stocked with a selection of Polish cheeses and some local craft beer (the local brewery on Gdańska Street is a must‑visit on a Saturday afternoon).

When the sun sets, you can hear the city’s nightlife gently thrum in the distance, but the apartment’s layout keeps it from becoming a full‑on party. The bathroom is surprisingly clean, with a rain shower that makes you feel like you’re in a spa—though you’ll have to bring your own shampoo. The free parking is a lifesaver, especially if you’re staying longer and want to explore the hinterland. Speaking of which, I took a quick drive to the Old Town on the 2‑hour bus; the fare is just a few zlotys, and you get to see the iconic St. Mary’s Church from a different angle—no crowd, no rush. I’d recommend staying here if you want a mix of city energy and quiet retreat, and if you’re a fan of small, well‑managed hotels that feel like they belong to the neighborhood rather than a corporate chain. OLIWA Apartament przy Parku SMALL PRIVATE GARDEN AND FREE PARKING really lives up to its rating, and I’ll be back when the next tourist season rolls around.
