I've had a little bit of a hard time finding availability for hotels/apartments, etc. We are arriving on April 29 and departing on May 2. There will be three of us, so an apartment is our best option I believe. We want to stay under 40E a night for each of us.

these are the two locations that I have to choose from. We only want to be in Old Town, close to the Main Square.

This is 100E a night.

This location is 345E for three nights.

What do you think about these locations?

Both locations are all in old town, the first one close to Opera House, train station and new megashopping mall, about 5 minutes walk to Market Square; the second one is a bit closer to Market Square, not far from Concert Hall, have more restaurants nearby.

If you plan to take trams to travel around, the first location is a little closer to tram stop; on weekend, I think it would be a bit quieter in this location.

Krakow old town centre is very compact, within easy walking distance to everywhere, perhaps you could just choose whichever nicer and suitable to your budget, the two locations aren't much different.

I stayed in Krakow for one week this month, such interesting city.

Here is my ongoing report, including my stay in Krakow, just few days ago:

I poswted the Polish version of the apartment rental agency's website. Here is the English version:

The Kazimierz DELUXE Apt was fabulous and the location could not be beat. I had the Silver Apt. It's the apt with the loft as pictured on their web site.

Thanks everyone! I ended up booking the first place, simply out of budget.

I'll report back on my trip to Prague, Krakow and Rome!
