Sunny Crane Apartment

Sunny Crane Apartment Overview

Sunny Crane Apartment sits tucked away at Księdza Jerzego Popiełuszki 2c/215, 80-863 Gdańsk, Poland, a spot that feels like a secret corner of the Old Town. I landed there in the late afternoon, the city still buzzing with the chatter of tourists and the distant clink of glass from a café on Dluga. The front door unlocked with a soft click, and a friendly local named Anna greeted me with a warm smile, saying, “Welcome! Feel at home.” She handed me a key card and a quick rundown of the building’s quirks – the elevator’s a bit squeaky, but the stairs are a sturdy, old‑world charm. Parking was a bit of a hunt; there’s a small underground lot behind a florist, but most guests pull up on the street and park in the narrow lanes where you have to be quick to avoid the city’s traffic rush. Honestly, it’s a bit of a scavenger hunt, but you end up with a spot right outside the building, which is a perk if you’re staying late.

The apartment itself is a cozy two‑bedroom loft with a surprisingly generous balcony that opens up onto a hidden courtyard. The décor is a clever mix of vintage Gdańsk finds and modern touches – think brass lamps, reclaimed wood tables, and a small but well‑equipped kitchen that has a gas stove, a French‑style oven, and plenty of cookware. I spent my first evening setting up the coffee machine, and the aroma of freshly ground beans filled the room, mingling with the faint scent of wooden polish from the floors. The living area is intentionally open, with a sofa that turns into a guest bed, making it a great spot for long‑term stays or if you’re traveling with a friend. The texture of the linen sheets felt like a gentle hug against the skin, and the blackout curtains were perfect for early morning sun that sometimes wakes you up too soon. Noise-wise, the area is deceptively quiet; the only street sounds are the occasional honk from a delivery truck and the rhythmic clatter of a tram passing on the nearby Księżego ulicy. The building’s walls are solid, so you don’t hear the nightlife from the main square – a bonus if you’re a light sleeper.

If you’re looking to explore, the Sunny Crane Apartment is just a short walk from the motława River promenade, where you can stroll beside the water and see the historic cranes that give the city its name. A few minutes away is the famous Hala Gdyńska market, where you can sample pierogi fresh from the chefs on the street and grab a cup of espresso from the small café that never seems to close. I also found a hidden gem: a tiny bookshop called „Księga Złota” right off the street, which sells local literature and postcards. For a quiet evening, you can find a spot on the balcony, sip a glass of local beer, and listen to the city’s low hum. The only critique I’d mention is the Wi‑Fi password – it’s a bit tricky to remember, but Anna kindly points you to the lounge sign where it’s printed. In short, staying at Sunny Crane Apartment felt like living in a home that’s both historically rich and comfortably modern, with a friendly touch that makes it stand out from the usual hotel experience. If you’re after an authentic Gdańsk vibe with the convenience of a short walk to the main sights, this place will make you feel like you’ve found a secret spot worth sharing.
