HOUSEHOST Apartment: Św.Gertrudy 10/2.11

HOUSEHOST Apartment: Św.Gertrudy 10/2.11 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to HOUSEHOST Apartment: Św.Gertrudy 10/2.11 feels like discovering a hidden gem tucked away on one of Kraków’s most charming cobblestone streets. The building itself has that authentic Old Town character — you know, the kind where you can actually feel the history in the stone walls. What struck me immediately was how quiet Świętej Gertrudy street is, despite being literally steps from the main square. It’s one of those addresses that locals know but tourists often miss, which honestly makes it even better.

The Heart of Old Town

I mean, when they say this place is in the real heart of Krakow, they’re not kidding around. You’re about a two-minute walk from the Main Market Square — I timed it because I’m that kind of person. But here’s what’s really great: you can slip away from the tourist crowds just by turning down this little street. The apartment sits right in the middle of everything that matters — Wawel Castle is practically around the corner, and you’ve got authentic Polish restaurants (the kind where locals actually eat) scattered all around the neighborhood. Couples seem to absolutely love this spot, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about wandering these medieval streets at night.

The Space Itself

This three-star setup surprised me in the best way possible. The room has that perfect balance of old-world charm and modern comfort that’s actually pretty hard to find in Old Town properties. You’ve got original architectural details — think exposed beams and thick walls that keep things wonderfully quiet — but also all the practical stuff you need. The kitchen area is compact but well-equipped, which comes in handy when you want to grab fresh bread from the morning market and have a proper breakfast. Actually, cooking here feels kind of special with those old windows looking out onto the historic street.

Living Like a Local

What I really appreciated was how this place lets you experience Kraków like you actually live here, not just visit. There’s a small grocery store about thirty seconds away where the owner knows everyone’s name, and a traditional milk bar (bar mleczny) down the street that serves the most authentic pierogi you’ll find anywhere. The apartment’s location means you can walk to everything — and I mean everything — but you’re also tucked away enough that you get a real sense of neighborhood life. Morning coffee on the nearby Planty gardens became part of my daily routine, and it’s maybe a three-minute stroll from your door.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it’s that perfect location score they’ve earned — and trust me, it’s completely deserved. You’re getting the full Old Town experience without the noise and chaos that comes with being right on the main tourist drag. The value here is pretty incredible too, especially considering you’re staying in what’s basically the most desirable neighborhood in the city. Plus, there’s something satisfying about having your own space with a proper address on one of these historic streets. You’ll find yourself giving directions to other travelers who are staying in generic hotels outside the center, and you’ll feel pretty good about your choice.

To book a hotel in Krakow during peak medieval festival season, travelers need early planning as this historic capital draws visitors eager to experience its UNESCO World Heritage old town and royal heritage.
