Wałowa Chic Apartment

Wałowa Chic Apartment Overview

Wałowa Chic Apartment sits on a quiet corner of Wałowa 23b, just a stone‑throw from the bustling Dluga Street and the shimmering Motława River. Walking into the apartment, you’re greeted by a surprisingly airy living room that feels like a private slice of Gdańsk’s old‑world charm. The décor is clean and modern, yet there are nods to the city’s maritime past – a framed photo of the old shipyards, a small brass model of a Polish fishing trawler. I mean, it’s not a hotel in the usual sense; it’s more like a stylish B&B that you find in a good travel story. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the coffee machine is a lifesaver on those early mornings when you’re trying to catch the sunrise over St. Mary’s Church. The beds are plush enough to feel like you’re sleeping on cloud nine, but the mattress is firm – so you wake up ready to explore the cobblestone streets instead of feeling like you’ve been on a roller coaster.

Check‑in was surprisingly smooth. The receptionist, a friendly local named Marek, handed me a key card and a map of the neighborhood, complete with his own little tips: “Take the tram to Gdańsk Główny and hop off at the 2nd stop; you’ll be right in the heart of the Old Town.” No long lines, no “you need to sign a lot of forms” nonsense – just a quick chat about the best pierogi spots. Parking is a breeze; there’s a small, free underground lot right behind the building, and if you’re staying longer, you can pay for a monthly spot in a nearby street garage. Noise-wise, I found the apartment to be surprisingly quiet. The only sounds that seep in are the faint hum of the city and the occasional distant traffic. At night, it’s practically silent, which is a huge plus if you’re not a night owl. During the summer, the streets around Wałowa 23b are lively, but the apartment stays a calm oasis. Even in peak season, when the Old Town is packed with tourists, the windows are well‑sealed, so the only thing you hear is the occasional gull or a distant bell tolling from St. Mary’s.

If you’re planning a stay, I’d suggest arriving in late spring or early autumn. The city is warm enough to stroll around without feeling sweaty, but the crowds are thinner than in July. In the evenings, you can hop out to a nearby café on Szmaragdowa Street, sip a latte, and watch the sunset over the river. It’s a good spot for a quick break before heading back to the apartment. I also love that there’s a small bakery on the corner of Wałowa and Miodowa – the smell of freshly baked rye bread is impossible to resist. And if you’re into history, a walk to the Gdańsk Shipyard and the European Solidarity Center is just a 15‑minute tram ride away. Overall, staying at Wałowa Chic Apartment feels like you’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem in the city’s heart – a place that’s all about comfort, convenience, and a genuine slice of local life.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Gdansk through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s maritime heritage and cultural attractions.
