RentPlanet – Apartament Żytnia

RentPlanet – Apartament Żytnia Overview

When I first stepped into the block at 1 Żytnia, I was already feeling the buzz of Wrocław’s Old Town—there’s that unmistakable mix of cobblestones, historic facades, and the faint smell of coffee from the cafés on Książęce Street. The front desk of RentPlanet – Apartament Żytnia was a small, unassuming space in a building that looks like it could have been a tenement from the 1930s. The receptionist, a friendly woman named Ania, pulled out a keycard with a smile and handed me a quick map that highlighted the best little spots: the turquoise‑tiled market square, the river’s edge near the Centennial Hall, and a hidden garden behind the university. Check‑in was almost instantaneous—no long queue, just a quick tap and a polite “Enjoy your stay.” Honestly, that’s a relief after a long train ride from Kraków.

The apartment itself is a cozy 27‑square‑meter unit that feels like a well‑kept secret. The living area is just a couch, a small table, and a flat‑screen TV that actually works (no glitchy connections). The kitchenette is surprisingly functional: a compact stove, a tiny fridge, and a kettle that boils in a minute. I remember pouring my morning coffee, the steam curling up while the city’s chatter—loud enough to hear but not so loud that you’re shouting—filtered in from the street. The bathroom is the usual three‑meter square, with a shower that has a good water pressure and a shower curtain that’s been replaced recently. I like that the windows open to a view of the courtyard, where a couple of pigeons do their thing, and you can actually see the street below and the old brick walls that give Wrocław its character. The décor is a mixture of modern and vintage; a few quirky pieces, like a ceramic vase that looks like a small plow, hint that the owners have a sense of local history. I found a small book on Polish cuisine on the shelf—just a friendly nod to my culinary curiosity. The only thing that could use a little more love is the Wi‑Fi. It’s decent in the day, but a bit spotty when the city’s nightlife kicks in, so if you’re a work‑traveler or a serious stream‑er, you might want to have a backup plan.

The real charm, though, is how the place blends into the city. I’m not talking about a generic “convenient location” line; I’m talking about the fact that you can walk to the market square in 10 minutes, hop on a tram to the Old Town Hall in 5, or just stroll down Piłsudskiego Street and find a tiny jazz bar where the locals play live. Parking is a bit of a gamble—there’s a shared basement spot that’s free for a couple of hours, but if you’re staying longer, you’ll need to look for street parking on 1 Żytnia, which can get tight during the Easter weekend. Noise-wise, the apartment is surprisingly quiet, especially after 10 pm, when the city’s nightlife quiets down and the only sounds are distant car horns and the occasional street musician. The only critique I have is that the balcony is tiny—more of a decorative space than a place to enjoy a sunset—but that’s the trade‑off for an authentic city feel. Overall, is a solid 3‑star spot that gives you the low‑down on Wrocław’s heart, and honestly, if you’re looking to soak in the city’s vibe without the hotel lobby ritual, this is the place for you.
