FIRST — Green Żoliborz apartment 3

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from an apartment rental in Żoliborz – I mean, it’s not exactly the tourist center of Warsaw – but this place on Rydygiera completely surprised me. The building itself is one of those solid pre-war structures that somehow survived everything Warsaw’s been through, and you can feel that history when you walk up to the second floor. The apartment is actually really well put together, with this clean, modern vibe that doesn’t try too hard to be trendy. You know what I love about staying here? The kitchen actually works – like, really works, not just some sad mini-fridge situation. I ended up cooking a few meals because there’s this fantastic little market on Mickiewicza (maybe a 5-minute walk) where locals do their shopping, and honestly, the tomatoes there put most restaurant ones to shame.

The location is sort of perfect if you want to experience Warsaw like someone who actually lives here instead of just hitting the tourist spots. Żoliborz has this quiet, residential feel – tree-lined streets, people walking their dogs, kids playing in the courtyards – but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere. The tram stop is right there, and getting to the Old Town takes maybe 20 minutes on the 4 or 15 line. What really sold me on the neighborhood was stumbling across this little café called Między Nami just around the corner – the kind of place where the barista remembers your order and locals camp out with their laptops all afternoon. The apartment itself stays surprisingly quiet considering you’re in the city; the windows face the courtyard rather than the street, so you don’t get the traffic noise from the main road.

I’ll be honest, the check-in process was a bit confusing at first (lots of back-and-forth texting to figure out the key situation), but once you’re settled, everything just works. The bed is actually comfortable – not one of those rock-hard European mattresses that leave you questioning your life choices. There’s decent water pressure in the shower, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how many places get this wrong. The wifi held up fine even when I was video calling back home, though I did notice it gets a bit spotty in the evenings when everyone in the building is probably streaming Netflix. One thing that caught me off guard was how much I enjoyed just sitting by the window in the morning with coffee, watching the neighborhood wake up. You get these glimpses into daily Polish life – the woman across the courtyard hanging laundry, someone practicing piano (badly, but enthusiastically), the occasional cat drama on the fire escapes. It’s the kind of authentic experience you can’t really plan for, but somehow this apartment puts you right in the middle of it without feeling like you’re intruding.

Reviews

• Very pleasant stay – Dimoragas from Greece – June 19, 2025 (9/10)

  Great location, not far away from any important place (airport, centre) and very nice neighborhood. The apartment was as described, comfortable and clean. The instructions for getting in were good but a better option would be to provide a video. Free parking is a also a very big plus.
  
  What could be improved: Only minor things: It had only one piece of toilet paper (we had to buy more) and the shampoo/shower gel was of poor quality and watery.

• Wonderful – Inung from Canada – September 24, 2024 (9/10)

• Exceptional – Edvinas from Lithuania – April 20, 2023 (10/10)

• Exceptional – Mykhailo from Ukraine – December 20, 2022 (10/10)

  It’s a nice flat with fantastic view from every window.
  it was clean and beautiful.

• In general, the stay was pleasant, and I would recommend the place to the next guest! – Halina from United States – August 15, 2024 (8/10)

  The location in general is pretty good. It’s close to Westfield Arcadia center which has a lot of stuff: food, playgrounds, stores.
  The price is affordable and the owner is great at communication.
  It was hot during our stay so it was nice to have 2 fans ( one wasn’t working but we made it work 🙂 )
  
  What could be improved: Well, when we arrived, there was a pool of water by the fridge. At a closer look, it turned out that the freezer was overgrown with ice, and the freezer door wouldn’t close so we had to defrost the fridge ourselves which wasn’t very nice. Also, the dishes in the dishwasher were dirty so we had to clean them too :)) ( the owner apologized for the dishes)

• Good – Aleksander from Poland – June 30, 2025 (7/10)

  What could be improved: It is hard to find !
