Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-7)

Our beautifully appointed apartment -in a building with elevator - offers the rare combination of space and elegance a mere stone's throw away from the magnificent Central Market Square, Krakow’s architectural jewel, and at a remarkably affordable price. You will love being close to restaurants and theatres, and stroll through Krakow’s cobblestone streets minutes after you set foot outside our apartment.

Appointed in a contemporary style that takes full advantage of the sunny exposure in the morning as well as the sun streaming in during the afternoons and into the early evenings, our apartment was completely renovated in early 2007. We have, of course, preserved the 19th century oak wood floors throughout, and 10 feet/3 meters tall ceilings. The living room has two comfortable couches, which may easily be converted in additional and very comfortable sleeping space for up to three more guests. There is cable TV of course, including a choice of over 500 channels, as well as a CD/DVD player. And all throughout the apartment you have free and unlimited access to very high-speed Internet access by WiFi connection. We also provide you with a cellphone as well as a fixed phone, so you may be in touch with each other and loved ones elsewhere as you would back home.

A fully-equipped kitchen awaits you, including a large kitchen island with breakfast bar, and a solid oak dining table that easily seats 8 people. The kitchen has all the modern amenities you expect, including a large refrigerator, microwave oven, full oven, water boiler, coffee maker, bread toaster, juicer and a number of additional items which make spending time in the kitchen area all the more pleasant.

Your apartment has two bedrooms, a master bedroom with a double bed, as well as a second bedroom with two single beds). Both bedrooms are away from the street, so there is no noise to disturb your sleep. As said, a fifth, sixth and even seventh guest may be accommodated comfortably in the living room.

The bathroom is beautifully appointed with tens of recessed halogen lights, and includes a clothes washer and heated towel rack for your convenience.

We are child-friendly! This means that we have a crib/cot ready for you, including linen, as well as a high chair, and you will also find electric outlet plug-in covers waiting for you.

Although we prefer a two-night minimum stay, we are very flexible. Our apartment is therefore ideal whether you wish to stay for a night or a month. Prices for longer stays are of course negotiable.

    • A gem in the heart of Krakow. At the gates of the old town and walking distance to the city market and train station. Tastefully decorated with modern fixtures. Clean and comfortable. Perfect for a family or small traveling group. Casper was personally also very helpful in accommodating our specific needs. I look forward to returning again.

    • This was one of the two best Vacation Rentals where we stayed in Europe! The apartment was quite large and roomy. The very modern bathroom and kitchen were wonderful to have during our stay. The sleeping quarters were also more than adequate for a family of four, consisting of three adults and a teenager. The apartment was clean and neat and had all of the modern amenities. Its location was fantastic and very convenient to the heart of Krakow. Being several blocks from the train station and several kilometers from the airport there were no noises to disturb one's sleep. It was very "cool" to stay essentially in "downtown" Krakow with the comforts of home. Sylvia was also a dear and very helpful to us answering all of our questions about the neighborhood and arranging the round trip taxi from the airport. We just wish we had had more time on this first trip to Krakow. We really hope that this apartment is available whenever we go back to Krakow. Caspar was also very responsive, helpful and a genuine pleasure to do business with. What a wonderful holiday!

    • We were so pleased with this apartment. It is huge. We had a Polish friend who visited us in the apartment and she could not get over the size of it. Her own apartment is very small in comparison. The apartment is nice and bright, and there are not too many stairs to reach it. We did not realize the convenience of the location when we booked it. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the Old Town, and is very close to trams if you need them. We were able to walk to the train station on the day that we left, wheeling our suitcases. It is also close to a morning outdoor market, and a large shopping mall that is adjacent to the train station. (There are some good little restaurants in there.) The owner of the apartment leaves a book with the most complete information about the apartment and the area that I have ever seen. There are also instruction booklets for all of the appliances, in English! A European washing machine is no longer a mystery to me. It was great having the washing machine available, and the clothes dried quickly on the provided clothes dryer rack. The owner was generous to leave coffee, tea and laundry soap available. Krakow is so beautiful, and the main square with all of the restaurants and the activities of the square are just a short walk from the apartment. The apartment was quiet. We were met by a housekeeper who speaks English. She is a very warm person and full of all of the information that you would need. We highly recommend this apartment.

    • Caspar and Leila's apartment was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed and it suited our needs, as an adult family of 3 perfectly. It was really central and minutes from the main square. It was decorated to a really high standard with every amenity you could wish for and given it's size was amazing value for money. I've written a page in the on-site comments book of compliments:-) We will definitely recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of visiting Kracow as I can't see how it can be beaten.

    • The apartment was excellent very spacious cleana and well equipped with an excellent location. Thank you for your instructions re car parking which we found without problems. We found it difficult to work out how to access the sky channels on the TV as the guide was missing. Also we would have liked a tea pot (typical English!) & mentioned this to Sylwia but she explained that it had recently "gone missing" prusumably taken by a previous guest!! We would reccomend the apartment to family and friends

    • We had a wonderful time staying in this stunning apartment in June 2008. Place is very comfortable, spacious and clean. It is perfectly situated with walking distance to major attractions. We were welcomed by a very friendly and helpful housekeeper Sylwia, who really went out her way to try setting my Mac with wi - fi. Apartment has a wi fi but not suitable for Macintosh ( That was the only little problem - hopefully Internet providing company (neostrada) will do something about it in near future) The apt had all amenities i.e coffee, tea, basic food in a fridge so we didnt have to run and look for a store just after arrival. ( Two little stores just across the street and bigger one block away) Very pleasant! Good communication with owners, you will not be disappointed.We definitely recommend this place to everybody ( romantic gateway, families, seniors etc)
