Overview
First Impressions
When I first walked into RentPlanet – Apartamenty na Pradze, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from this four-star property tucked away in the Praga Północ district. The building itself has that classic Warsaw character — you know, the kind that’s been through a lot but still stands proud. What struck me immediately was how the reception area felt more like stepping into someone’s well-appointed home rather than a typical hotel lobby. The staff greeted me in perfect English, which was a relief since my Polish is… well, let’s just say it needs work.
The Praga Experience
Here’s the thing about staying in Praga — it’s where Warsaw gets real. This neighborhood survived World War II largely intact, so you’re walking through actual history every time you step outside. Stefan Okrzei street is perfectly positioned for exploring, and I mean that in the best way possible. You’re close enough to the Vistula River that morning walks become a habit, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you feel like you’ve discovered something special. The area has this authentic Polish vibe that the more polished parts of the city sometimes lack.
The Apartment Setup
My apartment was surprisingly spacious — honestly, I’ve stayed in smaller places that cost twice as much. The kitchen came fully equipped, which actually saved me quite a bit of money during my week-long stay. I mean, Warsaw’s restaurant scene is fantastic, but sometimes you just want to make coffee your way, you know? The living area had this cozy setup with a decent-sized sofa and a dining table that doubled as my workspace. The bedroom was comfortable enough, though the walls are a bit thin — nothing terrible, just something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper.
Getting Around and Practicalities
The location really shines when it comes to transportation. There’s a tram stop practically at your doorstep, and getting to the Old Town takes maybe 15 minutes. I actually preferred this to staying right in the center because you get a break from the constant buzz of tourists. Parking is available if you’re driving, though honestly, you won’t need a car much in this area. The nearby Żabka convenience store became my best friend for late-night snacks and morning essentials — it’s literally a two-minute walk.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it strikes that perfect balance between independence and support. You get the freedom of having your own space with a proper kitchen and living area, but the staff is always available when you need them. The couples’ rating makes total sense — there’s something romantic about having your own little Warsaw hideaway in this historic neighborhood. Plus, the value is genuinely impressive for what you get. I’ve recommended this place to three friends already, and that’s not something I do lightly. It’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but it’s real, comfortable, and gives you an authentic taste of Warsaw life.

Location
What could be improved: No parking as stated in the listing , spent 30 min looking for space on the street. I could rent much cheaper place , but they had no parking , so i choosen more expensive one with the larkk h. , listing was not correct. Misleading me.
Good
Сподобалось розташування. Поруч магазини, ресторани, зупинки.
What could be improved: Для 4 персон мало місця. Але ціна та розташування дуже зручне. Ще мінус заїзд о 16.00.
Pleasant
It could be a nice property if it will change operational company.
Nice located, new building, nice bed sheets.
What could be improved: Awful check in. Absolutely no connection to the service company. We were sitting next to building more than hour and waited for check in. But nobody respond. Then at 16.02 robot sent us sms about key box and password . We were searching for 15 minutes this place, and then there were no key. I called support, ypung guy say that will find some solution and call me back ,but he didn't. In 40 minutes cleaning lady come, and tell us ,that just 20 minutes ago they tell her to clean 😡😡😡 So the apartment were awfully dirty, dishwasher were still working, and awful smell everywhere. So we clean everything by ourselves. But still small problems everywhere, so ... OWNERS, just change this awful unprofessional managing company. And you will have much more happy people there.
Bait-and-Switch Listing, Chaotic Check-In & Wasted Money
What could be improved: This was one of the most disappointing travel experiences we've had.
We ultimately had to book elsewhere after just one night. (Although been charged for 3 nights)
This property engaged in deceptive practices by advertising features that simply didn't exist. The listing clearly presented itself as having two proper double beds, but in reality, offered only a cramped studio with one bed and an uncomfortable sofa. (not a proper second sleeping space).
A Check-In Process Designed to Fail:
The host's check-in instructions set us up for failure from the beginning. Their vague directive to "collect keys from security" ignored the reality that:
1- There were multiple security offices across several identical-looking buildings with no signage or directions
2- None of the guards at the first two buildings we tried had any knowledge of guest arrivals
3- The security staff who finally had our keys required 20 minutes to locate the keybox in their unorganized system so we had to enter the pin to retrieve the keys (lol)
4) We received no building directions or access codes after finally getting the keys
What should have been a 5-minute process consumed nearly 1 hour of our time due to the host's complete lack of proper coordination. This wasn't just poor communication - it was a fundamental breakdown in basic hospitality standards that forced us to play detectives just to access the apartment we'd paid for. The experience made it immediately clear that this host prioritizes convenience for themselves over livability for guests.
Why We Couldn’t Stay ?
The apartment was completely different from the listing.
The sofa was unsuitable as a bed (uncomfortable and impractical).
We had no choice but to leave and book alternative accommodations.
The Host’s Unhelpful Response:
Denied a refund, falsely claiming the listing was "accurate."
Blaming us for not contacting them (even though check-in support was nonexistent).
Pleasant
What could be improved: W apartamencie było niedokładnie posprzątane, pralka uszodzona i nie działał internet ani telewizja.
Good
The location is great, the view from the window is awesome.
Everything is new in the building.
What could be improved: There was no kitchen towel, there was no dish soap, there was a dishwasher but not even one tablet for it.
There was a coffee machine with one capsule, but the water tank was just sticky from the inside and since there was no soap I couldn't even wash it.
The bed sheets for a double bed were a two pieces of a single bed sheet, so they were just sliding while I slept.
The instructions to get the keys were a bit confusing, could be better.
Sam pokój bardzo przyjemny, niestety naczynia nie były domyte a wręcz brudne schowane w szafkach
What could be improved: Brudne naczynia w szafkach, brudne sztućce w szufladzie, brak darmowych kosmetyków o których napisane w ogłoszeniu, brak kontaktu z gospodarzem
Very Good
Location was really good.
What could be improved: In the beginning it was difficult to find the place. Also it was complicated to find a parking spot. We were four people and stayed 3 nights, but there was only one roll of toilet paper. For the kitchen - the tap was broken, there was no sponge or something like to do the dishes or atleast wipe the table. And yes.. if you have a spider phobia this apartment is not for you.
Good place for several days
Hello. Thank you for opportunity to living in Warsaw :)
We liked the presence of a washing machine, a large refrigerator, a good kitchen (stove and cutlery), a vacuum cleaner.
What could be improved: We did not like the not very good cleaning, the lack of air conditioning, the heated towel rail that does not work in the summer, the lack of a hand towel for each guest (there was only a large body towel for each guest and one foot towel for all), the lack of two separate garbage cans for organic and plastic waste.
Very Good
Predivan pogled, lijep apartman, dobro opremljen.
What could be improved: Nečisto suđe u perilici, prljavi tepih u dnevnom boravku. Nejasne upute za check in.
