Smart Old Town Apartment

Smart Old Town Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Smart Old Town Apartment on Kurniki Street, you immediately know you’ve found something special. This three-star property sits right in the thick of Kraków’s medieval heart — I mean, you’re literally surrounded by cobblestone streets and Gothic spires. The building itself has that classic Polish charm, though honestly, what struck me most was how quiet it felt despite being so central. You know what they say about location, and this place absolutely nails it with a 9.6 location score that actually makes sense when you’re standing there.

The Apartment Experience

Inside, the apartment feels surprisingly spacious for Old Town standards. The layout is smart (hence the name, I suppose) — everything flows naturally without feeling cramped. The kitchen is compact but functional, which I appreciated since eating out every meal in Kraków can get expensive, even though the food scene is incredible. What really works here is the blend of modern amenities with touches that respect the building’s character. The WiFi is solid, the heating actually works well, and there’s enough storage space that you won’t be living out of your suitcase.

Location Perfection

Here’s where this place really shines — you can walk to Main Market Square in about three minutes, but you’re tucked away enough to avoid the worst of the tourist crowds. Kurniki Street connects you to everything without putting you right on top of the action. I found myself popping back during the day to drop off shopping bags or grab a quick break, which you simply can’t do when you’re staying outside the Old Town. The tram stops are close if you want to explore Kazimierz or head to Wawel Castle, though honestly, most of what you’ll want to see is within walking distance.

Practical Considerations

The 8.1 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s a solid, well-run place that delivers on its promises without trying to be something it’s not. The check-in process was smooth, and the host provided genuinely useful local tips rather than just handing over keys. Parking isn’t included, but that’s pretty standard for Old Town properties, and there are options nearby if you’re driving. The building can be a bit tricky to find initially since Old Town addresses aren’t always obvious, but once you know where it is, you’ll appreciate being slightly off the main tourist path.

Why Guests Love It

Couples especially seem to get it — they’ve rated the location 9.5 for romantic trips, and I can see why. There’s something magical about stepping out your door and being immediately immersed in centuries of history. You’re close enough to great restaurants that you can be spontaneous about dinner plans, yet far enough from the late-night party scene that you’ll actually sleep well. For the price point and location combination, Smart Old Town Apartment hits that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Kraków rather than just visiting it.
