DaVinci Radziwiłłowska Apartments

The location is great. Right near the old town and the train station, so both sight seeing and arriving/departing is easy. The property is spacious for two people. The laundry machine was quite a welcome amenity for a traveler. There were even a couple of detergent pods provided. Thank you for that! Noise levels were tolerable for a European property in a stone building (neighbors and street could be faintly heard, so ear plugs can be useful). The street was reasonably quiet. There is a lot mentioned in the negatives below, but don't take that as a take down review. The combination of price and amenities makes it a reasonable property to stay in. It must be noted that the photos are dated at this point and are likely retouched. I understand that every property does this, so it's not an unexpected outcome, but still disappointing. I'd also say that the furniture arrangement in the photos is better than it actually is now. Not sure what prompted the rearrangement, but I'd recommend reverting to how it shows in the photos. It's just looks more open in the photos. We didn't care much for the loft beds, since there were only two of us. Larger group may have something to say about those. There's a small fridge, which I call a "dorm fridge", but it does have a freezer shelf. We didn't use the TV, so no comments there. In general, I'd likely stay here again.

There needs to be more towels. We only were given two bath and two hand towels. And even those were clearly overused. They were basically grey, not white. Towels are not expensive, so it always puzzles me when a properly tries to save on this basic amenity. There wasn't any towels in the kitchen, neither regular, not paper towels, so we had to repurpose one of the bathroom hand towels for the kitchen. The shower drains rather slowly. Not quite standing water, but probably should be declogged. The shower cabin is tiny, which, I suppose is a norm for a European shower, but the bathroom itself is spacious, so I didn't quite see the reason for the tiny shower cabin, though I do realize that's not an easy fix. There were no places in the bathroom to put the toiletries. No shelves, no hooks. Seems like those are small improvements which don't cost a lot, but improve the comfort dramatically. It would have been great if those were added. The kitchen could use cooking utensils. E.g. a spatula at least. Most lights in the kitchen were out. The wifi was constantly dropping out in the evenings (can't speak for during the day as we were out and about) - it was quite challenging to work effectively with constant wifi interruptions. The bedroom could use a couple of night stands on either side of the bed or even just a shelf. The windows don't have any mosquito nets, so if you want to air out the room, you are contending with incoming bugs. The heating is central from what we could tell and was off for the season, which made for chilly nights during our April stay. I didn't notice any A/C anywhere, but we didn't need it in April. Frankly, I think most of these things can be discovered quickly if the host would just stay in that property themselves for a few days just to get how it is.

Good location to Krakow Glowny train station and only 10 minutes from the old town.

The description of the property did not match the reality. The mezzanine area had safety concerns, as did other things in the apartment. If I'd have known this, I wouldn't have booked it.

location excellent great space

loft bedroom - you couldn’t stand. 1 shower/bathroom

The holiday apartment was very nice, clean and very spacious. The owner was brilliant and very communicative. Great location as it's right next to old town and the main square. Would definitely use again.

It was so close to the city centre - literally right beside the main train station which gives you easy access to everything and the airport. Close to lots of nice bars and restaurants. The apartment was clean, cute (with the loft) and spacious!

Easy access from train station following late flight. Central location. Communication with host. Spacious apartment.

The property could be done with some updating, much of the furniture is showing wear and tear. There wasn't much in the kitchen, no hand towel for drying dishes/hands. Floor felt a little sticky and shower could have done with thorough clean.

location, good Wi-Fi. nicely equipped kitchen and washroom

no soundproofing and noisy tenants, room smells and you can see the wear and tear in the property
