A great apartment. Secret seems to relate to the difficulty in finding the place, we collected the keys from the Secret Garden Hostel with directions to the apartment but no specifics about how to find it. It turned out to be through a gateway the leads to a bar, halfway down there is a wrought iron gateway that you access to get to the apartment on the first floor. However, when entering the apartment all that was forgotten, two generous bedrooms, decent kitchen and a lovely toilet/shower room. The main bedroom had a door to the balcony which overlooks the garden area of a bar. Very pleasant in the evenings and for sitting out to eat breakfast. The beds were comfortable enough but creaked/squeaked quite a lot if you changed position, more of an issue for my wife who is a light sleeper. The area looks a little run down but in a nice way and there are lots of quirky bars nearby as well as several options for places to eat. Highly recommended and we would definitely use the same apartments if we visited Krakow again.

Great value great location
Great roomy and central apartment in good condition. Sleep two couples easily with a couple of smaller children. Well equipped and with tea, coffee, sugar etc provided. Nice to have outside space and the bar in the courtyard closes at 10 pm so no noise at night. Close to tons of food - book for the sushi up the road. Keys are from nearby hostel so not really a hassle and no time constraints on pick up schedule. Highly recommend.

A great family stay in a nice area
A great place to stay for a family. In the Jewish area of Krakow, with a lot of nice restaurants around the corner. The apartment is real nice, with great space. Kitchen perfect to have a breakfast or a lighter meal at before hitting the city. Convenient with a couple of smaller supermarkets just around the corner. Would definitely come back to this apartment when next visiting Krakow. The entrance to the apartment can feel a bit dodgy and dark at first, but with 2 locks to unlock before arriving at the apartment door we did not feel unsafe in any way.

check in and out locations at 2 different location
Coming in with public transportation or even a car is difficult. The available parking spaces are non existent. You must register at one location and then walk quite a distance to your apartment with luggage in tow. Not easy in an unfamiliar neighborhood. If you use a taxi it would mean using 4 as there is no room on the tiny Kracow streets for a cab to wait while you check in and out.The neighborhood is great,but very popular.

Hope to return
Excellent apartment and location, I have always stayed in Kazimierz as I love the Jewish Quarter. The apartment was very clean and very comfortable and remained surprisingly cool considering the high temperature outside. The added bonus was the outside seating area on the wooden balcony. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Great apartment in Krakow
Lovely apartment in easy walking distance of all tourist sights. Secret Garden staff were very helpful. Only the bed was not so comfortable and getting in means a series of keys that could be helpfully labelled. Would certainly recommend this. Plenty if space for two couples.

Great apartment
This is a great two bedroom apartment in a very good location in Kazimierz. The apartment is very spacious with a nice kitchen and bathroom. It also has a big furnished balcony/patio. It's also extremely good value. The only criticism is that there was no info on our reservation that we were meant to pick up the keys from a different location. We got to the address of the apartment and saw a brown gate without any signs and were confused as to what to do. Turned out that the reception was a 5 minute walk at a different location. Overall we had a lovely stay!

Great place for a family
Very spacious and comfortable place for a family within walking distance of Main Market Square, Wawel Castle and Jewish Quarter. Paid parking on the street and nice area. As others have mentioned, it's very secure, almost too secure as you have to go through three doors, so safety is not an issue. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to others.

Top place for a private getaway
Situated centrally in the Kazimierz district, the apartment is close to all bars and retaurants. The apartment itself was spacious and well furnished, it has a kitchenette diner and a large bathroom with good sized shower. A good heating system which also provided constant hot water. We felt very secure with a double lock door on the apartment and a locking gate on the staircase, All in all we were very impressed with the place, highly recommended.

Secret Garden Apartment III
This hotel was in a good location. It was clean and tidy was also modern. I would recommend staying there but i do have a few things that were a little bit iffy. 1 when we arrived we went to the apartment but there was no one there and we wernt sure where we were ment to get the keys from as i hadnt received a email telling me otherwise. So i rang and someone picked me up and tock me around the corner to the backpackers that run it. 2. breakfast was also at the backpackers which was about a 5min walk away, normally i wouldnt care about walking but it was -15 outside and very cold. 3. i went to cook on the stove top but it was gas and there was not ignition switch and i couldnt find a lighter. As im not a smoker we also didnt have a lighter and when i rang to find out how to light the oven the receptionist just said dont you have a lighter well you better go get one! little bit unhelpful. i did enjoy my stay and the location was good but if sort out the little things then you will gave a great stay.

Fin leilighet i sjarmerende område.
Vi hadde fine dager i denne leiligheten som ligger sentralt i Krakow. Kun 10 min å gå til Gamlebyen og det ligger et trikkestopp ca 100 m fra leiligeten. Det var flust med ulike serveringssteder i kort avstand og lokalområdet i seg selv er veldig sjarmerende og har et yrende uteliv på kveldstid. Vi storkoste oss og komme gjerne tilbake hit.

Flottt leilighet
Meget bra, bortsett fra at vi ikke var klar over at nøkler skulle avhentes et annet sted. Spennende og strøken leilighet. Litt vonde utemøbler på verandaen, ellers var alt helt topp. Beliggenheten var for oss helt topp i den jødiske bydelen med masse restauranter.

Nous étions, début décembre, dans un appartement sur Jozefa. Appartement agréable malgré une salle de séjour peu chauffée et un coin cuisine un peu rudimentaire ( pas de vraie cafetière, pas de micro-onde).Situé au-dessus de cafés les soirées du week-end ont été longues et bruyantes.

The apartment was very nice and tidy, we spent great time there! Location was good and hotel staff was very nice and helpful! Only thing I want to criticize, is that we didn´t get any information about the keys we had to get from the hotel reception. The reception was about 1 km (10 minutes walk) from the apartment. Getting in to apartment was guite hard (no signs, no keys, awful staircase...) but staying there was worth money!!!

Ligger midt i det meget hyggelige jødiske kvarter
Selve lejligheden lå ikke samme sted som receptionen, hvor nøglen skulle hentes. Dette var der ikke gjort opmærksom på, der var ej heller en anden adresse. Vi fandt det kun fordi en venlig taxichauffør ringede rundt for os.Men vi fik derefter en meget venlig og omhyggelig behandling. Selv om der er mange cafeer og restauranter i området, er der ikke larm og ballade. Udeservering i haverne stoppede kl. 22.30. Alt i alt et dejligt ophold.

mkt prisvärt
Stor, fin lägenhet med två stora rum, rymligt kök, basrum och tvättmaskin. Tyst och lugnt. I det forna judiska kvarteret Kazimierz, fantastisk miljö, alldeles mitt i det forna judiska Krakow med alla sevärdheter. 10 min promenad till det stora historiska torget Rynek och 20 min till ett enormt shoppingsentre med bakomliggande buss- och tågstation. 10 min till Vawel. Vi gick till fots även till Schindler´s factory på andra sidan bron, inte så långt. Transfer med taxi 50 Zloty/taxi, vi åkte 8 pers i en stor för 80 Zloty.
