YOURAPART Letnica Sea Side

YOURAPART Letnica Sea Side Overview

YOURAPART Letnica Sea Side sits on the quiet stretch of Starowiejska 56, just a stone’s throw from the cobblestone lanes of the old Gdańsk quarter. I first walked up to it on a breezy late‑afternoon in July, the salty tang of the Baltic mixing with the smell of fresh pierogi from a street vendor at the corner of Wichrowa. The building itself is a neat, two‑story brick thing with a little balcony that juts out over the harbor – you can actually see the tiny fishing boats bobbing in the distance, and I swear you could hear the gulls complaining about the ice cream stalls on the pier. The lobby was bright and airy, and the staff were super friendly – the receptionist, a young woman named Marta, already had my name on the system and asked if I needed a taxi to the airport. She was a warm, efficient kind of person, and honestly, that made the whole check‑in feel like a welcome rather than a chore.

After we got our rooms, I stepped out into the hallway and was hit by the faint scent of seaweed and lemon oil that the cleaners had sprayed in the hallway. The room itself is a compact, 25‑square‑meter apartment with a surprisingly comfortable double bed and a small kitchenette. I love the little thing where they have a stainless steel kettle that heats water in just a minute, so I could have a hot cup of tea right after my jet lag. The view from the balcony? Think of a postcard – the harbor on a clear day, the gray ships in the distance, and the sun dipping behind the old city walls. I was able to listen to the distant hum of the ferry dock – a soft, rhythmic beat that made me feel at home. The only minor flaw, if I had to be honest, was that the ceiling fan in the bathroom was a bit loud when you try to sleep, but that’s a tiny inconvenience compared to the overall vibe.

Parking is a breeze – there’s a small underground lot right next to the building, and the attendants are pretty strict about the rules, but they’ve got a system that works well for locals and tourists alike. The street traffic can get a bit noisy during rush hour, especially on the main road, but the building’s location on a quieter side street means you get a decent amount of peace. I took a walk to the nearby St. Catherine’s Church, which is just a ten‑minute stroll away; the bell tower’s chimes blend perfectly with the sea breeze. For lunch, I hit up the tiny café on the corner of Gdańsk’s Old Town – they serve a killer mushroom soup that pairs well with the local rye bread. And if you’re looking for nightlife, the bars on the pier are a bit of a hidden gem – they’re loud but in a fun, boisterous way that makes you want to stay out until the early hours.

I also took a quick trip to the floating marina by the river, which is a great spot for people‑watching. The whole place is just a short walk from the beach, so you can drop your bag at the front desk and grab a quick snack from the street vendor before you head out to the sand. The staff at the front desk are super helpful with directions, and they actually give you a map of the best local spots – they know the city like the back of their hand. The key takeaway? YOURAPART Letnica Sea Side is an approachable, well‑positioned spot that gives you both the buzz of the city and the calm of the sea. If you’re planning a trip to Gdańsk, this place feels like a solid, honest base that won’t let you down.
