Penthouse Harmonica – LoftAffair Overview

So I stumbled across the Penthouse Harmonica – LoftAffair last spring, and honestly, the name had me scratching my head at first. I mean, what’s with the harmonica bit? But you know what, once I actually got inside, it started making sense in this weird, quirky way that totally works.

The whole place has this industrial-meets-cozy vibe that’s hard to nail down – picture exposed brick and high ceilings, but then they’ve gone and added these soft throws and warm lighting that make you want to sink into the couch with a good book. The loft setup is actually pretty clever; you get way more space than you’d expect from a 3-star spot, and the windows are massive. I spent way too much time just people-watching from up there. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that stuffy hotel lobby nonsense, just real people who seemed genuinely happy to help. The guy at the desk even gave me a heads-up about the farmers market that happens nearby on weekends, which turned out to be this fantastic little discovery.

What really got me was the attention to small stuff that most places completely miss. The shower pressure is actually decent (you’d be surprised how rare that is), and they’ve got these little hooks in all the right places for your towels and clothes. The kitchenette isn’t just for show either – proper appliances, decent counter space, and they even stock it with local coffee that’s honestly better than what I make at home. The bed situation is interesting; it’s up in the loft area, which gives you this sort of private hideaway feeling, though I’ll be honest, if you’re not great with stairs after a few drinks, it might be a consideration. The neighborhood gets pretty quiet after 10 PM, which was perfect for me, but if you’re looking for all-night action, you might want to venture out a bit. Parking was way easier than I expected – there’s actually a small lot behind the building that most people seem to miss. That 8.8 rating? Yeah, I get it. It’s not trying to be some fancy resort, but it does what it does really well, and there’s something refreshing about a place that has personality without being gimmicky about it.

Apartments in Krakow provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Polish markets and cook with regional Galician specialties.

Reviews of Penthouse Harmonica – LoftAffair

  • Valery from Israel (9/10)

    Excellent location. Very good apartment. Everything you need is just around a corner. Very clean. Big and bright rooms. The kitchen equipped more or less OK. The apartment is very warm, despite very cold weather outside.

  • Volodymyr from Spain (8/10)

    Excellent location. Convenient check-in.Adequate price.

  • Dragos from Romania (9/10)

    Very big apartment with all you need. If you want to cook you have everything you need. It s located right in the jewish quarter and restaurants and supermarkets are extremely close. The apartment was clean, warm and the communication with the owner/staff was impecable. I saw people complaining about bathroom issues but we had almost no problems. Very good experience and krakow is an amazing city and also very cheap and safe.
    The building has security, cameras and is very quiet and clean. Big elevator, parcking space, street lights and very safe.

  • Hannah from United Kingdom (8/10)

    Good location and lovely layout of the apartment. Great size. Good to have a doorman for security – although the area felt very safe. Building quiet but plenty of life in local area.
    The one minor issue we had was solved quickly with no fuss.

  • Itay from Israel (8/10)

    Exceptionally designed, looks exactly like in the pictures. An additional toilet was very helpful for a large family. The location was wonderful and parking was available on the street at all times (we had a large car so we couldn't use the local parking).

  • Nijolė from Lithuania (9/10)

    The stay was very nice, the location was great, near the city centre. I really liked the modern interior.

  • Clifford from United States (9/10)

    Everything but parking.

  • Janis from Latvia (9/10)

    great location.
    stylish, modern apartments.
    many restaurants, bars, clubs nearby.

  • Stefanos from Greece (9/10)

    big house, warm, clean, with very good wifi and next to the center

  • Lisette from United States (8/10)

    The loft was amazing. The heated floors were awesome in Poland’s cold temperatures. The layout was open and allowed us to all enjoy each others presence in one room which was very rare for a Polish apartment. The door keeper was super kind and the apartment was clean!
