85 Dietla is a place of future promise. I get the impression the owners have not been renting out for long. And I'll come back to why.
But for starters the apartment is enormous. Each room is massive with high, high ceilings. The kitchen has a bench table that could easily sit 10 people round it.
The whole place holds character of a bygone age and with Krakows known recent history it opens the mind to what it might have witnessed.
The living room is vast and holds a workable TV with Netflix, great for the kids in the morning.
Our main concerns centered on the boiler which kept going off. And during the first 2 night's outside temperature hovered around zero.
So this needed a restart every morning and evening when we came back in.
Towels were supplied but they were clearly not new. We'd have taken my own had we known.
The shower head in the en suite is adjustable but whatever is done with it, it's not brilliant.
Any other taps or toilets being used directly affected water pressure and/or temperature.
Big downer for us on our arrival was a lack of lift, we knew in advance, but it is a long slog with suitcases and in laws in late 70's and early 80's. But we managed ok.
Big test is, would I stay here again?
The answer is mixed. I would, but not immediately. I'd hope over the next couple of years some maintenance occurs and the place receives some TLC and maybe some modernization in terms of fixtures and fittings. It really does have the potential for being a great great place...just not right now
