Good location but beds need to be updated
Pros:

The location is fantastic. A short walk to old town and there was a lot of close by restaurants and food markets

Cons:

Bed was very soft and uncomfortable - needs to be updated. There was a knocking noise non stop for 3hrs one evening. And then started up again a few days later. Not sure what that about. Possibly a child bouncing a basketball or something to that effect. Hard to address as there is no on site staff!!! So we just had to deal with it. There should be a noise policy that all guests should adhere too.

Fantastic property in the best location. Wonderful attentive host. The perfect place for us.
Pros:

The property is beautfiul, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It's well located in Kazimierz, a short walk from great places to eat and other attractions - the area is very interesting and safe to explore. Our host Anna was very attentive and helped us arrange transfers, excursions, and even stocked our fridge with local beers! Thank you Anna.

Cons:

This is a very minor point, but the bath towels could be a bit bigger.

Ottimo
Pros:

La struttura molto bella,avrei preferito poter avere un affaccio,ma visto che avevamo la mansarda le finestre erano tutte in alto, comunque l'appartamento era completo di tutto,letti comodi,bagno molto grande,riscaldamento autonomo, veramente pulito, in più ci hanno fatto fare il check in al nostro arrivo e ci hanno dato subito la stanza,cosa non da poco,poi ci hanno lasciato la stanza dopo il check out fino alle 17,00
Veramente molto gentile.
Nel cuore del quartiere ebraico, con tanti locali dove cenare o,prendere un drink.Avevamo la colazione compresa nella tariffa, si appoggiano ad un ristorante molto bello,colazione molto varia,con tante pietanze a me sconosciute,ma i viaggi aprono la mente, quindi veramente bello

Cons:

Che avevamo le finestre in alto

A must try in the Jewish Quarter of Krakow. We already miss it!
Pros:

We loved the location, history of the property, and the peerless customer service! Also, the breakfast included is at a must try, delicious restaurant just five minutes from the property. Overall, the space is generous, beautiful, and both a kitchenette and washer are included.

Cons:

There’s no elevator, the key was a challenge but we figured it out and Anna was very prompt with her help, and the ceilings of the attic apartment are slanted which resulted in taller people occasionally hitting their heads. HOWEVER, this place is totally worth it and we’d stay here again and again.
