Family Apartment in Downtown Cracow by Rent like home Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into Family Apartment in Downtown Cracow by Rent like home, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a three-star property — but this place completely surprised me. The apartment sits right in the heart of Kraków’s Old Town, and I mean literally in the thick of everything that makes this city magical. You know what struck me immediately? The building has that authentic Polish character you can’t fake, with thick walls and those charming architectural details that remind you you’re staying somewhere with real history.

Location That Actually Matters

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places that claim to have great locations, but this one actually delivers on that promise. You’re maybe a three-minute walk from the Main Market Square — I timed it because I’m that kind of person. The Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica, all those postcard-perfect spots are right there. What I really appreciated though was how you can duck into the apartment when the tourist crowds get overwhelming, then pop back out for dinner or drinks. The location score of 9.8 isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s genuinely that well-positioned.

The Space Itself

The room setup works really well for couples — which explains why so many pairs end up loving this place. There’s enough space to spread out without feeling like you’re rattling around in something too big. The kitchen is actually functional, not just decorative like in some apartments, so you can grab groceries from the nearby market and make breakfast if you want. I mean, with all the incredible Polish food around, you might not cook much, but it’s nice having the option. The whole place feels lived-in rather than sterile, which I personally prefer.

Neighborhood Life

What really sold me on this area was how it balances tourist attractions with actual local life. Sure, you’ll hear some street noise — it’s the Old Town, not a monastery — but that’s part of the charm. Early mornings are surprisingly peaceful, and you can watch the city wake up from your windows. There are proper grocery stores within walking distance, not just tourist shops, plus some genuinely good cafes where locals actually hang out. The restaurant scene around here is incredible, from traditional Polish spots to more modern places experimenting with local ingredients.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, this apartment works because it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re getting a comfortable, well-located place to stay without paying five-star prices or dealing with hotel formalities. The fact that couples rate it so highly tells you something — it’s got that cozy, intimate vibe that makes you want to linger over morning coffee or come back between sightseeing sessions. Parking can be tricky in this part of town, but most guests are walking everywhere anyway. If you want to experience Kraków like you’re actually living here for a few days rather than just passing through, this place nails that feeling perfectly.

    Opinie wystawiam dla apartamentu na ul. Grzegórzecka 67H. Apartament, który zarezerwowałam w ostatniej chwili przed przyjazdem do Krakowa nie był jeszcze gotowy. Bardzo miły Pan zaproponowała nam zmianę apartamentu i to była bardzo dobra decyzja.
    Apartament w cichej lokalizacji nowe budownictwo na siódmym pietrze. Klatka schodowa, winda i sam apartament wszystko było idealnie czyste. Dwa duże pokoje i salon do tego dwie łazienki duże tarasy pełne wyposażenie kuchni było wszystko co potrzeba. Serdecznie dziękuję za tak udany pobyt. Pozdrawiam przemiłą obsługę i do zobaczenia następnym razem.
