Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Photos may not match reality — One guest noted that the listing photos were misleading, even though the apartment itself was nice.

“We had a relaxing stay in Krakow, with great bars and restaurants, a shopping centre, and the old town all within a short walk. The location was great, about 10 minutes' walk to a fortified hilltop castle.”

“Our stay at the gold apartment was incredible. The room was in perfect condition, spotlessly clean, quiet, and beautifully designed. It had everything we needed, from cookware to an electric kettle. The balcony offered a stunning view of the river, and the location was super convenient with tram and bus stations nearby. The 24/7 reception was very helpful, offering VIP check-in and express check-out. The flat-screen TV and air conditioning were a plus, and the lift made access easy. We also enjoyed the option of cycling and the outdoor dining area. It was great that pets were allowed and there were cots for families. We had an amazing time and would definitely choose this place again.”

Warm and comfortable with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The host went above and beyond to accommodate us with late check-in and returning lost items. Competitive price for well-maintained apartments.”
