“Difficult to find, well equipped, but the bed.......”

When you want to stay there, be prepared to search! When we arrived at the spot, we searched for 20 minutes, just to find out that it was on one side of the building were wasn't any road. Best thing to do is to ask for a map and call 5 minutes before arrival. The location is not perfect when you want to rely on taxis, because there are not any. However buses and metro are only 7-8 minutes walk away. They give you good connections and fairly cheap. The apartment is relatively new and the apartment is on the 6th floor with a good elevator. The apartment is very well equipped (Cooking plates, washing maschine, was-dryer, dish washer etc.) and very quiet. But it has a terrible small and hard bed for two persons! We did not measure it, but we think that it is not wider then 1,40 meter while a normal bed for two people should be 1,8 meter. The blanket as well was too small. With two people in the bed, one is suffering of a half coverage!! Really unbelievable this bed! The only people who might enjoy this bed are just married couples! Parking around the building is free, but hard to find after 16.00 hr. There is also a parking garage possibilitie at 50 PLN per day. Breakfast is in a small place opposite the building and this arrangement works pretty well.

“Short stay”

Apartmant is all new, there are few things that are missing like extra bedding and pillows but all in all not bad. All over the building are contruction sites. Thers are stores and restaurants near by.

“Large apartment, out of the way location”

This complex is like an island in the middle of heavy construction. It is clearly a developing area and in 5 years, maybe 10, it will be right in the middle of action (and hopepfully there will be a transit stop a little closer). Now, it is action of another kind.

This complex is like an island in the middle of heavy construction. It is clearly a developing area and in 5 years, maybe 10, it will be right in the middle of action (and hopepfully there will be a transit stop a little closer). Now, it is action of another kind. HOWEVER, it is a nice island, completely self contained. There were a few restaurants, and a grocery store right at the complex. The apartments are new, residents are young and successful it appears. The apartment was very spacious. It was clean. It was new and has some issues with fit and finish to be worked out. It was odd that there was no storage in the bedroom, but had a lot of storage in the main living area. Drapes or curtains are needed, since the closet is in the living room. The kitchen was barely equipped: with service for 4, in ikea sized dishware (i.e. small cups, small wine glasses, shallow bowls). One wooden cooking implement that had to act as spoon, spatula, etc. Toaster and kettle, microwave, oven, all good. The smallest washing machine I have ever seen; about half the size of other small washers in Europe apartments we have used. Balcony had some uncomfortable furniture, but we could open doors and enjoy fresh air. Except the apartment was directly above where smokers tended to loiter, so fresh air was not to be had most of the time. It was quiet at night, no complaints there. No a/c, but in early September it was alright, but barely. One improvement that could easily be accomplished is to improve communication ahead of check-in about the process. For example where we should go to get a key and which apartment, etc. And we would have liked the apartment rep to spend a little more time with us showing how to use the equipment, helping us with logistics, giving us info about transportation options, things to do nearby, etc. We found the information provided to be lacking. With this and a couple more kitchen implements, it would be 5 stars.
