This is one of our favourite ever renovations - we so enjoyed doing it! A spacious and grand classic old apartment with a remarkable Bohemian interior. Perfectly placed between the Old Town and Kazimierz Jewish Quarter, with everywhere you’ll want to see easily walkable. Two balconies, high ceilings, a 43m² salon, this is the former home of Greg, Under the Thatch’s founder. We’ve scraped back years of modern decoration to create a unique ‘modern rustic’ Bohemian interior scheme that we hope you’ll love. Wall murals by young Polish artist Arek Twardowski, and a mix of antique and specially commissioned furnishings (beds, sofas).
The apartment is one of the large apartments built for wealthy businessmen in 1905 in the Viennese Secessionist style, on the Kazimierz edge of the Old Town. Today that means it has an ideal location between the touristy Old Town and the Kazimierz ‘Old Jewish quarter’ where you’ll find the best bars and restaurants in Krakow. It sits overlooking a quiet square with the best patisserie in Krakow on the ground floor, an art gallery next door, and other art galleries and antique shops on the square. You’ll find very good food at great prices a short walk in every direction. The apartment is on the top, 3rd floor and has high ceilings throughout, plenty of light and space.

Fantastic large apartment situated on the edge of the Kazimierz district. It was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the street activity. There were plenty of local cafes, restaurants and convenience stores. We sampled some traditional cuisine which was all very nice. We had an interesting time visiting the salt mines. We would highly recommend this lovely apartment.

The apartment is brilliantly located - an easy tram ride from the railway station and right on the edge of the lively and interesting Kazimierz district. Access instructions were nice and clear. We loved the Bohemian feel of the apartment and it had everything we needed. It was nice and spacious for three people. Good bars/cafés and shops around, but also quiet at night and it felt really safe.

Amazing apartment in a brilliant location. It felt like we were living in a film set. Hopefully we will get a chance to return one day.
