Choose Apartment C for a couple with a young child; it is quiet and romantic, though older children may need a proper bed.

Guests tend to rate Red Kurka highly for its excellent central position, with Old Town, the Main Square and Kazimierz all reachable on foot. The apartments are seen as a comfortable, characterful choice for a short Krakow stay, and practical features such as the washing machine and toaster are appreciated. The courtyard setting offers a more residential feel than a hotel, although the very central location can also mean occasional noise at night.

About Red Kurka Apartments
Red Kurka Apartments brings a splash of personality to central Krakow: three individually styled flats tucked inside the quiet courtyard of a traditional residential building. The look is playful yet considered, with hand-painted artwork and carefully chosen examples of 20th-century Polish design giving each space more character than a standard city-centre stay.
The setting is especially handy for travellers who want Krakow on their doorstep without staying directly on its busiest streets. The Main Market Square, Wawel Castle, Old Town and the lively Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz are all a short walk away, making this a practical choice for a weekend break or a longer, self-catered visit. Apartment touches such as a washing machine and toaster add useful everyday convenience.
Guests particularly appreciate being within easy walking distance of the city’s headline sights and describe it as a great base for exploring Krakow. The central address is the main draw, though some note that the surrounding area can be noisy at night. For visitors who value an artistic apartment, an authentic residential setting and the freedom to explore mostly on foot, Red Kurka is a memorable alternative to a conventional hotel.
