Apartments Krakow

When considering all possible options for accommodation, comparing the price per night I'd choose the apartments.
Why is that?
Price is very similar to the prices of hotel and maybe sometimes lower comparing hotel with different standards. Several such apartment I could find at the Florian. The place is very climatic and most of the city. Apartments is located in a historic building on the Royal Route just near St. Florian's Gate, home of the famous painter Jan Matejko and the famous Jama Michalik - once a favorite place Malopolska bohemian. The advantage of staying in these apartments is that it allows for a greater little group to have at once a kitchenette so you do not have to worry about food for a longer stay. Close to anywhere - so the place recommendable.
Another find at Grodzka apartments. Just as with the Florian Gate apartments have the opportunity to spend the larger group of people, they have installed a kitchenette. The apartments at Grodzka Street, which is part of the royal road leading to the Wawel Castle, just 150 meters from the Market Square - the largest market in Europe, the Cloth Hall and St. Mary's Church. The perfect place for people who like to have close to the public. Most of it is really at hand. The premises are so arranged that in most places can be reached on foot. :)




Krakow centum

In the fourteenth century Krakow has 42 named streets. The earliest mention in the documents: Grodzka Wislna, St Florian, Bracka Sławkowska. Street names until the early nineteenth century, the city's inhabitants spontaneously inventing, guided mainly topography and tradition. To the present day streets mentioned above are considered to be the place that is closest to the heart of Krakow's old town. It is here that we find some of the best venues both to eat and to sleep.
Hotels in the Old Town of Krakow suggest the best places because of its location, which translates to not necessarily always, but often at the price of accommodation. For a multitude of things to do right under the same rates for many tourists is a mandatory thing. Rooms in the old town of Krakow characterized by a multitude of offers because you have to keep in mind that opting for a place in the center you will need to book your stay well in advance, especially if you want to go for a weekend or days preceding or too-distant from some holidays.


First impression

After a day of sightseeing, I was able to get to your accommodation. Due to the fact that it is already cold, trygryski know what good you have to be in a warm place to stay. That is why I chose the apartment on the historic St. Florian. From the feedback we gathered, from what I read the reviews I decided to stay at this historic street. Descriptions of what was actually agreed with them on the internet.
Upon entering the apartment we were surprised design space. Very climate, well furnished, with style, interesting spaces for the presence of a separate bathroom and toilet which very rarely happens, plus a well-equipped kitchenette. The big surprise was generally a large amount of additives in the apartment so you can feel at home.
From the window of St. Florian's view of the street, not far from the accommodations a lot of shops, restaurants and banks so anywhere close.
Thanks to the presence of the entire crew ate food in the home-style lunch and in the evening we went to walk again with the Main Market because of the accommodations to the center of the road is literally a moment.
