Krakow Central Apartment

Krakow Central Apartment Overview

You know what struck me first about Krakow Central Apartment? It’s actually in Grzegórzki, not smack in the Old Town like the name suggests – but honestly, that’s kind of perfect. I mean, you’re on Masarska Street, which sounds intimidating but it’s this quiet residential stretch where you can actually hear yourself think. The tourist crowds thin out once you cross into this neighborhood, and suddenly you’re getting a taste of how Krakovians actually live.

The apartment itself has that solid four-star feel without trying too hard to impress you. The renovation is recent enough that everything works properly (you’d be surprised how rare that is in some European cities), but they kept some of the original character intact. I loved the high ceilings – typical for these pre-war buildings – and the windows actually open wide, which was a godsend during the warmer months. The kitchen is compact but functional, and honestly, after a few days of pierogi and zapiekanka, you might appreciate being able to make your own coffee the way you like it. There’s decent soundproofing too, though you’ll still catch the occasional tram rumbling by on the main thoroughfare, but it’s more comforting than annoying.

What really sold me on this place was the location – it’s like having a local’s secret. You’re a fifteen-minute walk from the Main Market Square, but you can also stroll down to the Wisła riverbank in about ten minutes, which most visitors never even discover. The neighborhood has this authentic feel with little corner shops and cafés that don’t have English menus plastered outside. There’s a fantastic bakery just around the corner on Dietla Street that opens ridiculously early, and the smell of fresh bread basically serves as your wake-up call. Plus, you’re close enough to Kazimierz that you can explore the Jewish quarter without dealing with the hotel markups in that area. The 8.4 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury touches, but it delivers exactly what it promises. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving (most streets around here require permits), but the tram connections are solid, and honestly, you’ll probably end up walking everywhere anyway because Krakow’s just that kind of city.

Exploring Krakow offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Poland’s medieval heart, from its magnificent Wawel Castle to its bustling Market Square and timeless cultural traditions.

• My worst experience with Booking for many years! – Ivan from Ukraine – January 31, 2025 (1/10)

  Good location.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was not ready. It was very dirty everywhere! Broken dishes, furniture and shower. The lights in almost the entire apartment did not work. The owner did not get in touch. Late in the evening we were able to check in to spend the night and leave this nightmare! The owner refused to repair and compensate! I was able to get a refund only with the help of Booking support. I don't wish this terrible experience on anyone!

• Good – Kinga from Poland – April 2, 2024 (7/10)

  Piekne mieszkanie. Wspaniała lokalizacja. Plus za parking. Wygodne łóżka. Fajna pościel.
  
  What could be improved: Na pierwszy rzut oka czysto, jednak po chwili użytkowania widać, ze miedzy wynajmujacymi troche za malo czasu na przygotowanie mieszkania. Ogarnięty "rynek" natomiast brakuje gruntownego sprzątania. Poproszono nas o wyrzucenie śmieci. Za koszem były śmieci po poprzednich wynajmujących. Pod łóżkami i w miejscach mało widocznych dużo kurzu. Gdyby nie te małe niedociągnięcia mieszkanie byłoby 10/10.

• Wonderful – Dr from Hungary – March 17, 2024 (9/10)
