Alchemia is a great bar snuggled into the Corner of Estery St. and Nowy Square. The interior is illuminated by candle light creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They have a great selection of beers, vodkas, divine 'real' hot chocolate and great cakes (chocolate and cherry was my favourite). I can't think of anywhere nicer to install yourself on a cold evening in Krakow. Enjoy!

Every aspect of the service offered by Krakow Homes was highly professional. We rented two apartments, each with its own unique character (the owner has an obvious flair for interior design).
The apartments were lovely - warm, welcoming, spotlessly clean and equipped with every home-comfort we could possibly ask for, including: well-equipped kitchens, sauna, jacuzzi, PCs with internet access, flat-screen tvs, satellite, under-floor heating etc.
The location couldn't have been better for us, in a nice, quiet area about half way between the old market square and the the Jewish quarter (Kazimierz), so we were within walking distance of all the main attractions.
Our host, Pawel, was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us some excellent tips on good bars and restaurants. All his recommendations were spot on. Krakow is an enchanting city. I will certainly be visiting again soon and, when I do, I will definitely be using Krakow Homes to book my accomodation.
