RentPlanet – Apartament przy Ogrodzie Botanicznym

RentPlanet – Apartament przy Ogrodzie Botanicznym Overview

So I ended up staying at RentPlanet – Apartament przy Ogrodzie Botanicznym last month, and honestly, it’s one of those places that kind of sneaks up on you. You know how some hotels try too hard with the whole “boutique experience” thing? This place just… isn’t trying so hard, and that’s exactly what makes it work. Located right on Henryka Sienkiewicza, which is basically the perfect sweet spot – you’re close enough to the action but not right in the middle of the tourist circus. The botanical gardens are literally a two-minute walk, which sounds cliché until you’re actually dragging your suitcase through the morning dew and realize you’ve got this beautiful, quiet escape waiting for you just steps from your door.

The apartment itself is one of those “weirdly functional” spaces that somehow manages to feel both modern and lived-in. I mean, the kitchen has all the appliances you’d actually use – not just ones that look good in photos – and there’s something satisfying about making coffee in the morning while looking out at the garden. The building’s got that solid, old-school Polish construction feel to it; you know, the kind where you’re not worried about the walls being paper-thin. Actually, speaking of noise, I was surprised by how quiet it was – I’d half-expected to hear street traffic all night, but the windows are surprisingly soundproof. The neighborhood wakes up around 7 AM with the market vendors setting up on nearby streets, which is either charming or annoying depending on your travel mood, but by 9 PM, everything settles into this really peaceful rhythm.

What really sold me on RentPlanet was how it handled the little stuff. Check-in was straightforward – just a quick email exchange with the host who actually responded within an hour when I had questions about parking. And parking, by the way, is available in a nearby garage for about 12 złoty a night, which is completely reasonable for this part of Wrocław. The area gets busy during university terms – there’s a campus vibe that perks up the whole street – but when I was there in late spring, it felt perfectly balanced. You could walk to the Market Square in about ten minutes without breaking a sweat, but you’re far enough away that you can actually hear yourself think. The host left a little guide with neighborhood recommendations, and half of them were spots I’d never heard of despite living in Poland for a while. That kind of local touch makes all the difference, you know?
