Vistula River Beach

Unless you're a backpack-style traveler, who has no problem climbing stairs with your baggage -- and is used to dealing with grumpy staff that speak little to no English (and no Polish either, for that matter!) stick to a regular hotel and avoid this place. It wasn't a "Bee Dream", it was more like a weird daydream -- though not quite a nightmare. Here's my list of things that went wrong and/or were annoying: 1) room cooling fan won't stay directed (dude, tighten the screws!) 2) bathroom ventilation (poor, sad tiny fan) 3) bathroom door springs (slams shut and no way to keep in open to ventilate properly) 4) somebody's hair under soap jar (eew!) 5) toilet seat wobbles (seriously?) 6) shower controls (awkward) 7) shower drain cover (flops around in the shower) 8) toilet paper minimal (had to buy my own) 9) sink shelf loose (gah!) 10) mattress thin but okay (sigh) 11) rattan style bed platform (eew, cool idea, but porous surfaces are not very hygienic) 12) pillows (cheapest possible and give you a neck ache) 13) outlets annoying (covers that snap at you like turtles and hard to use) 14) entry codes (OMG, didn't want to solve an "escape room" puzzle after flying on a plane) 15) service? what's that? (apparently, they are Georgian, and the young fellow doesn't want to learn English; Polish, or help you at all -- he just sits on his computer) 16) the elevator (wow, very vintage, but scary and it feels like it might just trap you inside) Okay, Now you know. ;p) Ciao!

The apartment has been furnished with the cheapest of everything. It has the bare minimum you need. We were left 1 dishwasher tablet and 1 small sponge for a 3 night stay. No dish cloth. The bedroom door would not close as the bed was too big for the room. The bed was cheap and creaky. Furnishings and fittings were stained and shabby. Very disappointed.

The apartment was gorgeous. Very clean. Loved the location because it was only a few blocks from the mall. You have a drug store, mini market, liquor store and Starbucks only 1 block away. The only issue I had was with deposit options. You can only use blick or PayPal. The need to have more options
