Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The apartment does not list parking, so guests arriving by car will need to arrange street parking or a nearby garage.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00—if you arrive later, you'll need to coordinate with the host.
  • Pets are not allowed — The apartment is strictly no-pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Possible tram noise — One long-stay guest noted tram noise, though it didn't bother them; light sleepers might want earplugs.

“Ideal location next to the old town and Jewish quarter, and the room was excellent. We really enjoyed the friendly staff and owner. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, with hypoallergenic pillows. A functional bathroom with a walk-in shower. The kitchenette was a lovely extra. The property was 500 metres from Cukiernia Kameccy.”

“The room was spotlessly clean and excellent. It had a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and an electric kettle. The bathroom was quite clean. There was a garden view from the balcony, with a nice outlook over the greenery. Lots of bakeries and a restaurant for breakfast nearby. Some city centre attractions were not too far from the place.”

“Michal, the owner, went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. He gave us insider tips on the best places in Krakow and even helped sort out a travel mishap. The central location made it easy to reach the Old Town and Jewish Quarter on foot. Having a supermarket right next door was so handy for groceries. The apartment exceeded expectations with its modern, clean interiors. The balcony overlooking the courtyard was perfect for breakfast and planning the day. We fell in love with Krakow and will definitely stay here again.”
