Spacious Apartment in the centre of Gdańsk by Rent like home Overview

Spacious Apartment in the centre of Gdańsk by Rent like home sits right on the cobbled stretch of Dluga Street, just a stone’s throw from the bustling market square. I first walked there on a crisp autumn morning, the scent of fresh pierogi wafting from the stalls at Stary Rynek. The apartment’s façade is a tasteful blend of modern glass and classic brick, a subtle nod to Gdańsk’s layered history. As soon as I stepped inside, I was hit by a surprisingly airy, sunlit living space that feels more like a local’s home than a hotel room. The high ceilings and large windows let in that unmistakable Baltic light that makes the place feel almost…alive.

I mean, I was a little surprised by how quiet the building is, even though it’s right in the center. (There’s always that hum of traffic from Dluga, but it’s muffled enough that you can actually hear the sea breeze if you close the curtains.) The check‑in was a breeze; a friendly receptionist handed me a keycard and a quick map of the neighborhood. She even mentioned that the parking lot behind the building is free for guests—no need to hunt for a spot on the street, which is a huge relief during the peak summer months. The apartment has a small balcony overlooking the Motława River, and at sunset you can hear the distant bells from the Gdańsk Crane, which is just a five‑minute walk away. The view is a nice bonus, especially if you’re staying during the tourist rush; you get that perfect mix of city buzz and river calm.

Honestly, the only thing that could use a tweak is the kitchen. It’s fully equipped, but the fridge is a bit on the small side—just enough for a couple of bottles of vodka and a few leftovers. (If you’re traveling with a friend and planning to cook, you’ll probably want to bring a cooler or a portable fridge.) The bathroom is sleek, with a rain shower that feels like a spa experience, and the linens were soft enough to feel like a hug after a long day. I found the Wi‑Fi signal strong, which was a relief after a few nights of weak internet in other hostels. The staff were genuinely friendly; one of the housekeepers stopped by to ask if I needed extra towels and then slipped a handwritten note with a list of the best pierogi spots in Gdańsk. That little touch made the stay feel personal rather than commercial.

If you’re planning to explore beyond the Old Town, the apartment’s location is perfect. Just a ten‑minute tram ride brings you to the modern art galleries on the northern edge of the city, or you can hop on a bike from the nearby rental shop on Jagiellonska Street and cruise along the Motława. The noise level is generally low, even during the busiest tourist season, because the building is tucked between two older brick structures that dampen street traffic. You’ll hear the occasional jazz band from a café on Dluga, but it’s more of a background soundtrack than a disturbance.

In terms of timing, I stayed there during the shoulder season, and it was nice: not as crowded as July, but still lively enough to catch a street performer or two. The apartment’s 10‑star rating is well earned; it feels like a hidden gem that locals would probably choose over a chain hotel. The 4‑star rating is a sweet spot—luxury without the excess. Overall, this place is a solid pick if you want to soak in Gdańsk’s historic charm while still having the comforts of home
