Property Description KlasikaKlasika apartment is a high standard vacation rental in the centre of Krakow aimed at families, academics at the university, traveling professionals and couples who are searching for something more in their stay. The apartment is both highly comfortable and convenient. It is large, spacious, with high ceilings, plenty of wardrobe space and equipped with all you need for any length of stay. In rennovating the apartment, the owners were keen to ensure that the Krakovian style remain. The doors are original, as is much of the floor, which gives the apartment a classic feel, in keeping with the style of the pre-war tenement building.
Location:
Access to Krakow's pleasures and sights could not be easier. "Boguslawskiego", the name of the street, means "blessed" in Polish, and you are blessed here with an equally short walk (4 mins) to all the main places you will want to visit in Krakow: the Old City with its museums, churches and squares; the old Jewish district of Kazimierz; and the fabulous Renaissance castle (Wawel). There are numerous tram and bus routes within two minutes walk in either direction. And the train and bus station is ten minutes’ walk.
Restaurants of every variety are just inside the old city walls and also in Kazimierz (both are within 400 metres). Across the street is a friendly and useful grocery store which is great for fresh rolls for breakfast, and sells everything you will need to cook.
A family home....The apartment is owned by a Polish/English couple – Kasia and Steven who live in England, but come to Krakow frequently with their children. As such families with children will be happy here as they have designed things to work from a family perspective. A baby's cot and high chair are supplied, and there is ample space for buggies, prams etc. A further spare child's bed is available on request. The safe off-street courtyard allows children to play outdoors while remaining under a parent's eye from the balcony or window. Within two minutes walk are the gardens of the Planty, the perfect place to run around. Babysitting can be arranged for you on request. Your stay in Klasika...Your stay in Klasika...
Our aim is that the stress is taken out of your stay so we've gone for maximum comfort. You will be met either at the flat or at the airport (on request) and will be welcomed in, shown how everything works and given any advice you may need to plan your stay in the city. The flat will already be stocked with a welcome pack- plenty to eat, drink and be merry so you don't need to go rushing out again shopping. In the apartment you will find guide books, information and maps on the shelves to help you work out what to do, where to go and what to see. Two Polish Sim cards will be provided, so you can bring your mobiles and avoid international bills (making booking tables easier, and keeping in contact with the other members of your party). Your own personal pair of slippers will be waiting in the hall and free to take home as a momento! We'll even provide some stamped postcards you can send to your friends without worrying about queueing in the post office!
Your host will be Simon, an English/Polishman who has been living in Krakow since the nineties. He will be here to help you at this first meeting with any special requirements you might have, eg babysitting, booking tickets, taxis etc. He will be available on the phone at all hours and can also pop in during your stay to check that you've everything you need, and give you any advice you might need to enjoy your stay in Poland. At the end of your stay, he will collect your keys and give any help you may need concerning departure. Other than this, you will be left to happily enjoy your most comfortable stay in Krakow.
