Vision Apartments Gdańsk

Vision Apartments Gdańsk Overview

Vision Apartments Gdańsk sits on 62 Starowiejska, right in the heart of the city where the old brick buildings still cling to their historic charm. I first spotted it on a rainy afternoon when I was wandering past the Old Town, chasing the scent of roasted chestnuts from a street vendor. The building looks unassuming from the street—just a gray façade with a single balcony—but once you step inside, the space feels surprisingly airy. The lobby is lit by a mix of Edison bulbs and a splash of amber from a vintage lamp that gives the whole area a warm, almost nostalgic glow. Check‑in was quick, the front desk staff were friendly and gave me a handy map with their own favorite spots, like the tiny jazz club on Gdańska Street and the hidden courtyard where locals gather for Sunday barbecues. I could already hear the city’s buzz, the clatter of trams and distant waves crashing against the harbor.

The apartment itself is the real gem. It’s just a bit smaller than a typical hotel room, but every inch is thoughtfully used. The living area spills onto a small balcony that looks over a quiet courtyard—perfect for sipping coffee at dawn before the city wakes. The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped, with a full set of knives, a coffee maker that actually brews decent espresso, and a few jars of local preserves that the staff kindly left in the fridge. I found the linens to be soft, the pillows just right, and the bathroom—though compact—had a deep, soothing shower that made the city’s chilly air feel like a spa. The décor is a mix of modern minimalist touches and reclaimed wood from the old warehouses in the area, which gives a subtle nod to Gdańsk’s maritime heritage.

Noise-wise, you’ll notice the typical city hum, but it’s far from overwhelming. I stayed there during the high season, and the only time I heard traffic was the early morning rush on the nearby Prądzyńska Road. The building itself is solid, so street sounds are muffled. Parking is a bit of a hassle; you have to find a spot on the street, and the local parking meters can be a bit finicky, but the staff offered a discount for guests who used the nearby public parking lot, which is a lifesaver. I also appreciated the small touches: a bottle of local vodka in the fridge, a guide to the best pierogi shop on Św. Marcin Street, and a complimentary bottle of sparkling water that was a nice refresher after a long day of exploring. Honestly, the place feels like a home base that doesn’t feel like a hotel, and if you’re planning a stay in Gdańsk, I’d say Vision Apartments Gdańsk is worth a look—especially if you want to be close to the action but still have a quiet corner to unwind.
