HOUSEHOST Apartment :Starowiślna 66/9 Street Overview

You know what? I wasn’t sure what to expect from HOUSEHOST Apartment on Starowiślna Street – I mean, the name’s a bit of a mouthful and it sounds more corporate than cozy. But honestly, this place surprised me in the best way. Starowiślna 66 sits right in that sweet spot where you’re genuinely in the heart of Krakow’s Old Town without dealing with the absolute chaos of the main square every time you step outside. The building itself has that classic European apartment vibe – you’ll climb a few flights (no elevator, just so you know), but the hallways have this old-world charm with high ceilings and original details that make you feel like you’re staying in someone’s actual home rather than some sterile hotel box.

The apartment itself punches way above its 3-star rating, which is honestly refreshing these days. Everything’s clean and well-maintained, and you can tell someone actually cares about the details – the kind of stuff that matters when you’re living somewhere for more than just a night or two. The windows face the street, so there’s decent natural light, though you’ll hear some traffic noise during the day (it’s a main thoroughfare, after all). But by evening it quiets down considerably, and I actually found the gentle hum of the city kind of comforting. The kitchen setup is practical – not huge, but you can definitely make coffee in the morning or heat up some pierogi you grabbed from the market down the street.

What really sold me on this place was the location, and I don’t just mean “convenient” – I mean you’re literally walking distance from everything that matters. The Cloth Hall is maybe eight minutes on foot, but more importantly, you’re close to all those little side streets where the real Krakow happens. There’s this fantastic milk bar (bar mleczny) just around the corner that serves the kind of comfort food locals actually eat, and the tram stops nearby connect you to Kazimierz or the train station without any hassle. The 9.0 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here – it’s not trying to be fancy, but it delivers exactly what it promises. Check-in was smooth (they send you digital codes, very modern), and honestly, for the price point, you’re getting way more space and character than you’d find in most hotels in this area. Just pack light if you’re not used to stairs, and maybe bring earplugs if you’re a super light sleeper – though really, the street noise is pretty minimal for being so central.

  • Aleksandra from Poland (9/10)

    Wszystko świetnie. Piękny styl, czysto, wygodne łóżka.

  • Bladeostrze from Poland (9/10)

    Świetne miejsce wypadowe blisko do starego rynku jak i do centrum Kazimierza. Główna ulica ale w apartamencie w ogóle jej nie słychać (czasem jak stary typ tramwaju przejedzie to się lekko trzęsie) sypialnie usytuowane od podwórka. Duże pomieszczenia i fajny układ. Muszę zaznaczyć że w każdym pomieszczeniu było bardzo czysto. Styl umeblowania według mnie pasujący do kamienicy.
