This is a newly renovated flat in an old Krakow tenement house. Located 150 metres from the Old Town and 275 metres from the Jewish Quarter (to locate the building, search for 'Starowislna 6, Krakow' in Google Maps), this small self-catering apartment is within easy walking distance of the main tourist attractions and public transport hubs. The entrance to the apartment is in a quiet courtyard. The flat is a recent basement conversion in a 19th century Krakow 'kamienica', which means 'stone house'. Kamienicas were tenement houses built to accommodate middle class people such as merchants and professionals. Many kamienicas were built in certain styles; for example, baroque or classical. You can see some interesting adornments on the façade of the kamienica where the apartment is located. The flat has one window, which looks out into a private courtyard, not the street. The courtyard is a communal area shared by all the flats in the building, but it is cut off from the street, so the noises you can hear from outside the flat are minimal. There are also massive stone walls around the flat and a thick vaulted ceiling, which helps to keep out the noise and also stabilises the temperature in the flat. Near the flat, there is an original wooden staircase, which can resonate when people use it, but this only happens occasionally. The whole area of the flat is 15 square metres, which sounds small but it's about the size of a typical ensuite hotel room but with a kitchenette. There is a bathroom (with a bath), and everything else (bedroom, kitchenette and dining area) is open plan in an 'L' shape. The flat has a double bed. Kitchen utensils and bedding are provided. There are internet cafes nearby and a lot of restaurants and bars offer free Wi-Fi internet access. There are several food shops nearby, a launderette, a chemist's and a post office.
