No noisy Market Square commotion in our peaceful location!! Come experience the magic of Krakow in our brand new, superbly decorated apartment in the heart of historic Krakow (Ul. Lobzowska). You won't be disappointed in this luxuriously restored 19th century living space complete with a high, chandeliered ceiling, antique parquet floors and granite entryway. Combined with the modern conveniences of high speed Wi-Fi internet, satellite TV, fully equipped granite kitchen, central heating, air conditioning and all the latest.
This sunny, light-filled environment in an off-street setting provides a safe and quiet experience thanks to 24-hour security and an underground parking garage for your vehicle. Step outside our door and find an Italian ice cream and pastry shop. Stroll down the neighborhood streets to witness the ambiance of the imposing 19th century architecture.
We are a 5-10 minute walk from the largest (and most beautiful!) medieval market square in Europe where you can languish over coffee or wine and stroll around absorbing the incredible sights of the Renaissance Sukiennice Cloth Hall (selling Polish arts and crafts), St. Mary's Church (listen for the hejnal - a trumpet tune played from the tallest tower at the top of the hour), and a fabulous line-up of renaissance and medieval townhouses.
Enjoy Krakow's many delicious and charming restaurants, fine shops and exquisite cafes (we have favorites on a list for you in our apartment). Don't miss the Czartoryski Museum, the home of Da Vinci's famous painting, "Lady With an Ermine", as well as many other fine museums tucked around the Old Town. Catch the opera, ballet, theater or philharmonic while you are here, all within walking distance. In the evenings don't miss Krakow's famous jazz club cellars. There is no end to enjoyable pastimes.

Why the Owner Chose Krakow (Cracow)
Our family is fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in Poland for 4 years while on a business assignment. We are not of Polish ancestry but found a place in our hearts for the spirit and determination of the Polish people and thoroughly enjoyed our travels around the country. When the assignment was over and we were sent back to the US, we decided to buy an apartment here so that we could come back and visit our adopted country. We chose Krakow, the pearl of Poland, where charm radiates from every inch of its medieval streets and squares. We promise you will fall in love with it too!!
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment

You will find a broad array of activities to fill your time, or simply plant yourself in a cafe on the main square and watch the world go by.

We know Krakow quite well and chose this apartment for location and amenities. Everything met or exceeded our high expectations -- that is, the apartment is as advertised and as reviewed by others who have stayed there. Worth repeating even so: the apartment is very close to but not in the centre (which can be noisy and is always crowded), it is very attractively and comfortably furnished (and well-equipped), it is spacious for a one-bedroom apartment (i.e., living and bedroom are large), it combines a sense of being in a heritage building with being in a high-end modern development, and both owner and agent are extremely helpful and responsive.

The apartment was fantastic! Everything a traveler could possibly want and more. Great location, within an easy walk of everything Krakow has to offer. Beautifully furnished and decorated, the pictures don't do the apartment justice. The apartment was very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The rental process went very smoothly, the owners were so easy to work with and their representative in Krakow was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this apartment to family and friends. And, if we are lucky enough to visit Krakow again, we would not hesitate to rent this apartment again! Staying in Sue's apartment was just such a great start to our trip to Poland.

Our stay in Krakow was made extra special with our accommodation in this lovely apartment. It was like a home away from home and was beautifully and tastefully decorated. Although it was quite hot outside, during our visit, inside the apartment kept quite cool and we didn't need to use the air conditioning provided. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to be able to eat a leisurely breakfast before leaving each day. We also enjoyed the convenience of the free WiFi with its fast connection. As there were three of us in our group, one person slept on the pull-out sofa bed in the living room, which was extremely comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and have plenty of reading material available and guide books too. The apartment is in an ideal location, only 5-10 minutes walk to the old town with its many attractions and restaurants. It's in a secure building away from the street and very quiet. We appreciated the secure garage and the friendliness of the security guards. Staying here made us feel as if we had a home in Krakow. I would recommend this apartment to anyone thinking about visiting the beautiful city of Krakow.

My son and I stayed here, and were quite comfortable. Our host was very responsive regarding any questions. The space was beautifully designed, with lots of light, and everything was very clean and in perfect repair. The building is extremely secure, and it is a very short walk to Krakow's beautiful old town. Everything looks exactly like photos here. We highly recommend the apartment, and would definately stay here again.

Comfort, style and value at the heart of Krakow!

We arrived from the airport in less than 30 mins to find our key waiting with the happy go lucky security guard (who subsequently became our unoffical tourist advisor!). The apartment is situated in in a courtyard well away from the road giving us all the privacy and peace we required. The building although modern and clean still holds that Krakow charm. The apartment was warm and bright and as my mother owns and runs her own bed and breakfast in Ireland I can assure you that the standard of cleanliness was high. Towels and linen were crisp, white and in abundance. The kitchen is fully equiped and modern. What stands out about this apartment is the style and class of the interior design. Care and effort has obviously been taken to make the apartment warm and inviting and it doesn't give the imperssion that it is "just another rental" apartment. The small touches and details make it feel like home. I would strongly reccommend this property for all of the reasons mentioned but the location is the icing on the cake. We could walk into the Main Square in 5 minutes. Perfect! Krakow is an amazing city and we thouroughly enjoyed our trip which was a mixed purpose trip for business and pleasure. The internet connection was fast and easy to connect to in the apartment, an important requirement for keeping in touch with the office back in Dublin while in Krakow. I would reccommend the Endorfina Spa on Kochanowskeigo Street for massage and beauty treatments close by. Aperitif restaurant on the Maly Rynek (Small Square) delicious! Best in Krakow. Karmalicka street that runs paralell to the street this property is on is also worth a look for its shoe shops and a restaurant called Nostalgia. CK Browar pub on the corner of Podwale and Krupnicza is reasonably priced and the beer is really good.

We highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Krakow. There are no surprises: what you see in the photos on the site and what is printed in the offerings is what you get in the apartment. The apartment is spacious, clean, airy, light, and well-appointed. It was also the best bed on our trip! The clothes washer was a big bonus for us and the clothes dried quickly on the drying rack provided. It is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to the main square from the apartment. For us with a rental car, it was perfect: the apartment is in the northwest corner of the city and since we came in from the north, we had little city traffic to deal with, and since we were heading west when we left, we were quickly out of town. The secure parking garage was a big bonus for us. The guards at the door were always pleasant and helpful (though they don't speak English). If you're coming by train, you could do the walk with rolling suitcases, but a taxi would be best. It's a 1 to 2 mile walk. As for Krakow itself, it is a fabulous city to visit. The owners have left a number of guidebooks on Krakow in the apartment and we found them very useful. The nearby market (10-15 minute walk) at Plac Nowy Kleparz was a great source for fruit and vegetables, and we were thrilled to find a roast chicken there. All in all, I give this place a 10!

My husband and I stayed in this apartment for 6 weeks over the summer and it made our stay in Krakow great. We loved being able to walk to Planty in a few minutes and to old town in less than 10. The location is unbeatable. At the same time, the building is located on a very quiet street, so we never had problems with street noise. We really enjoyed having a kitchen (which includes a dishwasher!) and being able to cook our own meals during such a long stay. Having a washing machine was also invaluable. The owners were great to work with, very attentive to any issues, and quick to respond to e-mails. We will definitely stay here again if our travels take us to Krakow.

My husband and I had a delightful stay at this apartment. We were there for three weeks and it could not have been better. The apartment is sleek and fresh with every modern appliance you would want. It is wonderfully located with 24 hour security and is within a short walk to the Square, the open market, the train and bus stations, and the Galeria. After a few days, we felt like we were part of the neighborhood. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating with helpful suggestions about places to dine, sites to see, tips on shopping. Their Krakow agent was ready to take care of any question we had. In short, our stay was perfect and we hope to return in the next year or two.

This apartment absolutely made our last vacation to Krakow. We've been visiting for a decade and this was by far the most comfortable and convenient apartment we've ever stayed in. It is right around the corner from the Planty (park) and the Stare Miasto (old town) so we could walk to everything. We could even walk there from the train station! The building is very quiet and secure and has 24-hr guards and secure underground parking. We could tell it was newly redone, and the owners did a great job with the interior - very classy but comfortable. It is really livable and has a kitchen you can really cook in so we could save some money and just have relaxing breakfasts at home. All in all, it was a great place to stay, and we'd give it our highest recommendation.

My partner and I visted Krakow last month and our experience of the city and this property made our trip unforgettable. We chose this particular property based on location, parking and value for money, and we were not disappointed. The secure garage was a priority as we had a rental car for our stay in Poland, the location was perfect given that we were no more than a very short walk to the Main Square. The building itself is located away from the street, surrounded by beautiful renovated buildings of the same style which meant zero noise reached us. The security staff at the main door were always helpful and although the didn't speak much English they could not do enough to make us feel welcome in Krakow. The apartment itself is extremely clean, well decorated and warm. We noticed that there was air conditioning but we didn't feel the need to use it. The kitchen was well equipped and well organised. I would reccommend this property to anyone visiting Krakow who wants to be at the heart of the city in an apartment that combines Cracovian atmosphere with modern living.
