Check-in is between 14:00 and 20:00 ⏰

📄 According to our listing and applicable regulations, all guests are required to provide a valid ID and complete a registration form prior to arrival. Without completing the form (which will be sent via a secure link through the platform), we are unable to officially register your stay or provide the access codes to the apartment. This procedure ensures the safety of our guests and the property. Your personal information is processed solely for the purpose of identity verification. It is never used in a way that compromises your privacy and is accessible only to the secure registration system we use. All check-in instructions and access codes are sent only after the form has been completed. In case the form is not submitted, a personal meeting with one of our staff members will be required at a pre-arranged time to verify your ID.

🛂 On the day of your arrival, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, we will provide detailed self-check-in instructions. Please note: receiving this information requires prior completion of the registration form.

⏰ We kindly ask you to check out on time on the day of departure. A late check-out fee of 100 PLN / 25 EUR per each started hour will apply if check-out is delayed.

🧳 As hosts, we are not responsible for any personal belongings left behind in the apartment. Please make sure the door is securely locked each time you leave the apartment. In case of lost keys, guests will be charged for the replacement of the entire lock.

🚭 For the comfort of all our guests and in line with safety regulations, smoking (including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or other substances) is strictly prohibited in the apartment.
In the event of a violation, a cleaning fee of 400 PLN will be charged.

🚫 Although we love animals, unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the apartment. Thank you for your understanding.

🧻 Please note that basic supplies such as toilet paper, laundry capsules, and dishwasher tablets are provided only at the start of your stay. If you need more during your visit, we kindly ask you to purchase them on your own.

❗ In the event that the keys to the apartment are lost by the Guest, the Guest will be charged the full cost of replacing the lock and providing a new set of keys. The total amount will be determined based on the actual cost of locksmith services and lock replacement.

🚿 Due to a construction issue with the shower, water may occasionally drain more slowly. If you experience any problems, please don't hesitate to contact us—we’ll be happy to assist you.

Where you’ll be

Kraków, Małopolskie, Poland

🏡 The apartment is located in the peaceful Dębniki district, just a 5-minute walk from the Vistula River and 10 minutes from Wawel Castle – a perfect spot to enjoy Kraków’s charm while staying away from the city noise 🌿🌇

🎭 Only 3 minutes away, you’ll find the ICE Congress Centre, which hosts concerts, cultural events, and conferences year-round.

🛒 There are plenty of local shops nearby, including a charming farmers' market with fresh fruits and vegetables 🍓🥕. The nearest large supermarket (Lewiatan) is about a 10-minute walk from the apartment.

🚶‍♀️ We highly recommend a walk along the riverbank – in just 10 minutes, you’ll reach the iconic old Forum Hotel, now home to a unique restaurant and bar 🍹. Relax on deck chairs with stunning views of Wawel Castle and the Vistula. On the way, don’t miss the Ferris wheel 🎡 for a fantastic panoramic view of the city!
