Apartament luster i obrazów

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed in a lot of Warsaw apartments over the years, but this place on Nowy Świat really surprised me. The name “Apartament luster i obrazów” basically means “apartment of chandeliers and paintings” – and honestly, they’re not kidding around. Walking up to the second floor (there’s no elevator, just so you know), you immediately get why this spot has such a high rating. The whole building has that classic Warsaw elegance that somehow survived everything this city’s been through. When you step inside apartment 6, it’s like someone’s sophisticated aunt decided to rent out her place but kept all the good stuff – crystal fixtures that actually work, artwork that isn’t just random hotel prints, and furniture that feels substantial rather than that flat-pack nonsense you usually get.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Warsaw rather than just visiting it. Nowy Świat is one of those streets where locals actually hang out, not just tourists taking selfies. I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from some of the best coffee shops in Śródmieście, and the whole Royal Route is right there when you want to do the sightseeing thing. What I really appreciated though was how quiet it gets at night – you’d think being right in the center would mean constant noise, but the courtyard-facing windows and thick walls keep things peaceful. The apartment itself feels more spacious than most Warsaw rentals I’ve tried, with actual room to spread out your stuff (there’s proper closet space, which is rarer than you’d think in these old buildings).

Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that awkward key-pickup-from-a-random-café situation you sometimes get with apartment rentals. The host clearly knows what they’re doing and has thought through the little details that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. I will say the bathroom could use a small update, but everything works fine and the water pressure is actually decent. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the Żabka downstairs or hit up the weekend market at Plac Konstytucji. During my stay in early fall, the heating worked perfectly – important to mention since some of these older Warsaw buildings can be hit or miss with temperature control. If you’re coming in summer, the high ceilings and cross-ventilation keep things comfortable without needing AC. For the price point and that 9.2 rating, it really delivers on feeling like you have a proper home base in one of Warsaw’s most walkable neighborhoods.

• Great appointment in the great location – Marina from Israel – April 11, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is specious, warm and has central location with plenty of transportation options nearby. Comfortable beds.
  Located on the second floor without elevator,which wasn’t the issue for us, but it should be kept in mind.
  We recommend this option in Warsaw for families!
  
  The only thing that wasn’t that convenient is that we had 3 blankets for 4 people.

• Short pre Christmas stay – Nigel from Spain – December 20, 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was easy to get to from the main train station. About 15 minute walk or plenty of public transport options. It was located in a lovely street with plenty of bars and restaurants. A short walk into the old town. There were five of us, so it was great to have two bathrooms.
  
  What could be improved: There wasn't anything to dislike.

• Exceptional – William from Denmark – October 28, 2024 (10/10)

  Great location apartment is whats on the cover clean all amenties you need.
  Our flight home was delayed and our request for a 3 hour (15.00) later checkout was No problem. Have No hestitation in recommending this.

• Wonderful – Howard from Australia – October 28, 2024 (9/10)

  This property was in a great location and suited us as two couples very well.
  Short walk to the old part of Warsaw and as well it had buses running past the door. The street outside is bustling with people with a variety of restaurants and food stores.
  We did have a problem locating the property as the address is not on the main street and it opened into a courtyard with a variety of apartment blocks around it. A small diagram along with the details for access would have helped. We did work it out though it caused some concern as it was getting dark.
  The apartment is beautifully decorated but cannot remember if this place did not have a toaster and or a microwave.
  However the choice of food on the street exceeded what we needed.
