Finding a place to stay in Krakow for a month!

♂

May 10, 10, 22:18 #1

Ok, so I am planning to go to Krakow in September. I want to stay for about a month I think. Unfortunately my plans are not as solid or as well thought out as they should be at this point. I am struggling to find a place to stay. I looked at all my options, and so far this is my plan: I am going to attempt to find someone who lives in Krakow who would let me be their roommate for a month. I would not expect anything fancy, just a place to sleep. I wouldn't expect them to feed me or anything either.
I need advice. How difficult do you think finding something like this would be? I have been asking around amongst my friends in the Krakow area to no avail. How much money do you think I should offer them? I was thinking about 1000 złoty for the month at the least, what do you think?
Also, the area doesn't absolutely have to be Krakow I guess, it's just a preference.

Any guidance and advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Look at TRAVEL ADVISOR on the web. THey have everything including hostels, apts., etc. I don't know why you would want to live with a stranger for a month, but that is none of my business. You will have no trouble finding something. Try the Jagiellonian University student papers also.

Students come back to Krakow around September so try and organise something before they turn up.
It is tricky getting a place like that for just a month, maybe try Gumtree

Good luck.

Zombie, I've just taken up a lease for a 2 bedroom place 5 minutes away from the old town. Give me a shout nearer the time if you want a room for a month. I've got family and friends coming for weekends over the summer but it will be free for September. All mod cons plus internet, LCD TV etc.

I also search for a room in Krakow for one month in the summer. I searched before and it was very hard to find even if I offered 2000 PLN, because everybody wants to rent out for 6 months. It was crazy

I checked out the recommendations for Krakow, pretty nice. I am going to try Gumtree, I'll be sure to act as quick as I can so I'm not competing with the returning students as much. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, I'll keep the offer in mind! I'll contact you closer to the time if I am all set.

Thanks for all the help guys, wish me luck in my search. xD

If anybody else needs a place to stay in Cracow I recommend you Atrakcyjny Kazimierz hostel. It's located in the jewish district really close to the city centre. They have nice rooms, breakfast included in the price and on Fridays they organise free vodka tasting.
