HOUSEHOST Apartment: Starowiślna Street 36/27

HOUSEHOST Apartment: Starowiślna Street 36/27 Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The location is absolutely killer – you’re right on Starowiślna Street, which honestly puts you in the thick of everything without feeling like you’re sleeping on top of a nightclub. I mean, when I first walked up to number 36, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star apartment setup, but sometimes those ratings don’t tell the whole story.

The thing about staying here is that you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Main Market Square, but you’re tucked away enough that you can actually get some sleep. Starowiślna runs parallel to all the main action, so you get this perfect balance where you can stumble back from the bars in Kazimierz (which is right there, by the way) without dealing with the tourist chaos that happens closer to St. Mary’s Basilica. The apartment itself – well, it’s on the second floor, so there are stairs, but nothing too crazy. What really impressed me was how they’ve managed to keep it feeling homey rather than sterile. You get proper kitchen facilities, which is huge if you want to grab some pierogi from the market and heat them up, or if you’re like me and need real coffee first thing in the morning.

Here’s the practical stuff that actually matters: the WiFi works (tested it on video calls), the shower has decent pressure, and the windows do a surprisingly good job keeping street noise down. I stayed there during one of those busy summer weekends when Krakow gets absolutely packed, and I could still sleep without earplugs. The check-in was smooth too – they sent clear instructions beforehand, which you appreciate when you’re dragging luggage through those narrow old-town streets. Parking is… well, it’s old-town Krakow, so you’ll want to use one of the nearby garages rather than hunting for street spots. The closest one is maybe a three-minute walk, which isn’t bad considering where you are. What I really loved was how easy it made exploring different parts of the city – you can walk to Wawel Castle (takes about fifteen minutes through some really pretty streets), and getting to the Jewish Quarter is practically effortless. Plus, there’s this great little café called Café Camelot just around the corner that locals actually go to, not just tourists with guidebooks. The whole setup just works, you know? It’s the kind of place where that 9.3 rating makes total sense once you’ve spent a night or two there.

  Lokalizacja bardzo dobra, choć okolica od ostatniego czasu stała się brudna i zaniedbana, niestety z winy napływających imigrantów. Apartament bardzo komfortowy, świetnie wyposażony, czysty i przytulny. Duży i przestronny apartament z dobrym doborem umeblowania i wygodnym łóżkiem.
