Pearl Apartment by LoftAffair

Pearl Apartment by LoftAffair Overview

Pearl Apartment by LoftAffair sits right on 38 Nadwiślańska, smack in the middle of Gdańsk’s buzzing Old Town. I arrived on a chilly October morning, the city still humming with the faint echo of the Motława River and the distant bells of St. Mary’s Church. The front door opens onto a small, sun‑lit lobby that feels like a warm hug – the staff, a young woman with a quick smile, asked for my ID in Polish and then, in a friendly tone, handed me a keycard that glowed slightly in my palm. Honestly, that check‑in felt more personal than any app notification, which, you know, can be a bit impersonal. I could almost smell the fresh espresso from the corner café, Pearl Apartment by LoftAffair’s neighbor, wafting through the hallway.

The apartment itself is a tidy 35‑square‑meter space that feels surprisingly roomy. The walls are painted in soft cream, and the floor is a light, worn‑oak that creaks just enough to remind you you’re in a historic building – but the insulation is solid, so the city’s nightlife noise doesn’t seep in after midnight. I found a small, but functional kitchen with a single burner, a fridge, and a kettle that boils in no more than a minute. The bed is a queen with linens that smell like fresh laundry, and the curtains are heavy enough to block the street lights but still let in that golden Gdańsk dawn. Parking is a bit of a hassle; the nearest public lot is right on Staszic Street, a short walk to the cathedral, but the apartment’s street parking is limited to residents only, so I had to pull in at the end of the block. The noise from the street is minimal in the evenings, though early mornings can be a bit lively with the market vendors setting up along the cobblestones. I even spotted a local bakery, Pearl Apartment by LoftAffair’s favorite, where the scent of rye bread lured me out for a breakfast that lasted until noon.

What really sealed the deal for me was the little touches that only someone familiar with Gdańsk would appreciate. The staff gave me a map of the old town with a handwritten note pointing out the best spots to avoid the tourist crowds on Wednesdays – the pier at Brzeźno and the secluded café along Złota Street. They also mentioned that the area around 38 Nadwiślańska gets quieter after 10 pm, which is perfect if you’re a light sleeper like me. I spent a lazy Sunday afternoon on the balcony, sipping a glass of local white wine while listening to the city’s lullaby – the distant hum of traffic fading into a soft, rhythmic pulse. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, Pearl Apartment by LoftAffair is the kind of spot that feels like home, with just enough charm to remind you that you’re experiencing a city that’s both old and alive.

Best hotels in Gdansk range from charming boutique properties in the historic Main Town to elegant waterfront hotels with stunning views of the Motława River and Gothic architecture.
