Pros:

Huoneessa oli ilmastointi ja pieni pesukone. Keittiö on hyvin varustettu.

Cons:

Asuntoa varatessa kuva huoneistosta oli aivan erilainen kuin minkä me saimme. Asunto oli ylimmässä kerroksessa eikä talossa ollut hissiä. Asunto ei ole lapsiystävällinen ja huoneet ovat 2 kerroksessa. Yläkertaan menevät portaat ovat jyrkät kierreportaat ja portaiden vieressä on aukko josta esim. lapsi voi pudota. Asunnossa on vain 2 hengen sohva. Asunto on kuitenkin 4 hengen asunto. Varatessa asuntoa ei näitä asioita mainittu

סביר וטוב, אבל בעייתי בעיקר שאין מעלית ואין מזגן בחדר שינה אחד.חיסרון שאין פירוט על כל דירה בנפרד
Pros:

מיקום, ניקון וזמינות.

Cons:

זו חברה עם כמה דירות. בדיקה שהיינו זו קומה שלישית בלי מעלית עם המווןןןןןן מדרגות.
בחדר אחד אין מזגן ובלילות הקיץ, צריך

UBICACIÓN
Pros:

No tiene ascensor y nos tocó un tercer piso. Nos ofrecieron un cambio de habitación en un edificio mejor, y en la primera planta. Fabuloso y mismo precio.

Mindenkinek ajánlom aki bírja a 4 emeletet gyalog. Nagyon sok jó étkezési lehetőség a környéken.
Pros:

Szuper közeli hely a belváros közepén ! A legtöbb látnivaló (Főtér, Wawel, Banksy múzeum, Zsinagógák, stb.) 10-15 perc séta. Sok jó hely, kávézó, reggeliző, étterem a közelben! A lakás nagyon jól felszerelt, kényelmes, tiszta.

Cons:

4 emelet megmászása lift nélkül.... naponta akár többször is :-(((
A parkoló automata nem kommunikál angolul, valami regisztráció kellene ? de azt is csak lengyelül ... csak akkor lehetne parkoló jegyet venni... brrrrrr Inkább betettük az autót egy 24 órás parkolóba ( 120 PLN naponta ) de a városon belül jobb is gyalogolni meg a villamost használni.

Muuten ihan ok.
Pros:

Mukavat vuoteet, yllättävän hiljaista vaikka raitiovaunut kulkivat edestä.

Cons:

Toinen televisio ei toiminut, toinen ilmastointilaite ei toiminut. Onneksi ei ollut niin helteistä että olisi tosin kaivannutkaan. Kuvat eivät vastanneet tilaamaani asuntoa. Tilauksen kuvissa ko. huone oli täysin erilainen. Sen vuoksi liian kallis paikka.

Goed appartement in echt goede prijs in uitstekende locatie
Pros:

Locatie van de main attracties van Krakau. Bijna alles op loopafstand. Meerdere food market ,(i.v.m. zelf eten maken) en ook meerdere restaurants.
Smart TV met Netflix beschikbaar

Cons:

Binnen is beetje renovatie nodig.
Onze appartement was op 4de etage, dus na hele dag lopen was beetje moeilijk om nig meerdere stappen doen 🙂
