My parents and I spent a week at Karolina and Mario's amazing place. The two story apartment is decorated with beautiful pieces of art and has got everything you need for a pleasant stay. The kitchen is well equipped for home cooking, the bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The appartment is situated in a green and quiet neighbourhood with an excellent public transport connection to the city centre. There are also a few convenience stores, a pharmacy, bakery and a well stocked supermarket within 10 min walking distance.
We loved having the company of their 3 playful yet chilled cats at the end of the day full of sightseeing.
We managed to see a lot in a week's time and really recommend visiting the Malbork Castle, taking the ferry to the Hel Peninsula where we hired sunlougers under a sunumbrella as it was a really hot day (you must try the freshly smoked halibutcif you are into seafood!) and took the train back to Gdansk.
We wanted to visit Brezno Beach but it was closed for swimming for a couple of days so we took the tram 8 or 9 to Stogi Beach instead. There are plenty of food places as well as souvenir and trinkets stalls. The beach itself is clean with toilets, changing facilities and showers.
We also visited the two smaller cities of Sopot and Gdyna which we absolutely loved.
I highly recommend exchanging with Karolina and Mario. The communication was always pleasant and friendly and they answered any of my questions promptly. I hope to stay in touch to reciprocate the favour one day if you decide to visit New Zealand. Thank you once again.
Last Fall I had the pleasure of hosting the Sterns from the US. From my home they went on to an exchange with Karolina in Gdansk, an exchange they were really happy about :-)
So when I shortly after saw that Karolina offered her home for a non-sim swap, I reached out and within no time we had organized for me to come for a long weekend with my dad (took him for his Birthday).
Communicating with Karolina was super easy and smooth, always quick repsonses and happy to answer whatever questions I had, even upon the day of arrival where we ran into a bit challenge when the key box wouldn't open.
I contacted Karolina and within 25 mins she had someone come over with a spare key :-)
My dad an I had a lovely weekend in Gdansk, such a lovely town even in Winter time. The wether was decent while we were there so we spent hours walking around the town, making pit stops at different cafés here and there.
We also visitted the WW2 museum and spent some hours there without even seeing it all, def well worth a visit.
It is really cheap to (grocery) shop in Poland so a little will get you far.
Karolinas apartment was super nice and cosy, with everything we needed for our stay. Just by the apartment buildings are little shops like pharmacy, bakery, take away etc. and there is a Carrefour (grocery shopping) about 10 mins walk away - super nice and easy.
We had the pleasure of Pepsi the cat, who was super low maintenance as he preferred to stick to himself during out stay.
Over all I can only give my best recommendations to exchanging with Karolina and I'm hoping to return to Gdansk in Summer time where I'm sure the town and surroundings will be a brilliant place to visit and one can fully enjoy what it has to offer :-)
We spent a week at Karolina’s lovely home in Gdańsk. What a beautiful place! Gdańsk surprised us with its many forested hills right in the city, its gorgeous old town and its friendly people. We’ve never had so many people offer their bus seats to our young children. Karolina’s home is spacious and warm. Our kids loved playing with the toys and we loved the views of the sunsets and the many skylights. The area is quiet and residential, away from the busy hubbub but still a short bus ride to old town. In the housing area, there are many small playgrounds and some beautiful wooded trails. We took the overnight ferry from Karlskrona to Gdinya and highly recommend this travel route. Karolina was so helpful with ideas for what to see and visit and how to get around. We are excited to host them at our home in the future!

It was a treat to host Monika and her parents. It doesn't happen often that we have a chance to meet our exchanging partners but we did this time. It was a nice contact, our cats were very well taken care of and they loved it! The house was left in a mint condition! Thank you again!
It was lovely to host Lone and her father at our place. They were super nice and I hope to see Lone in the future. Have a great one :) Thank you!
It's been a few years since we hosted this nice family. It was great to have them here, maybe one day we will be able to visit them in US. Thank you for everything!

We are active members of couchsurfing.com and through that organization we had 4, very successful exchanges in the past!

We always try to think positive, we are understanding and a very low maintenance :) We have been travelling with the kids and without them for the last 15 years. Hope we will have the opportunity to travel more around the world :) we have 3 kitty cats, they are clean and lovely!
