It is not easy to find reasonably priced living space for a longer stay in Paris. We found a small but very neat apartment in Paris in which we felt very comfortable.
Apartments
Vacation outside of hotels does not always have to be expensive. We discovered the stay in an apartment, especially in longer stays. So we can make the day rhythm as we need it, we can quickly cook something and live not isolated.
Apartments are offered on various platforms. We present here the apartments, in which we felt particularly comfortable and which we would recommend immediately.
We found a great flat in Barcelona
We found a great flat in Barcelona
Small shops and an array of bars and restaurants were located near the flat. The metro line 5 was a 5-minute walk away.
We felt right at home and thoroughly recommend the apartment!
The flat is really great. A fully equipped kitchen, a small and very clean bathroom, a cosy living room and a bedroom were waiting for us to move in after we had been welcomed by our hosts Arturo and Miguel.
The best part was the rooftop terrace. A lot of plants and a little table, the view of the towers of the Sagrada Familia and sun from 11 in the morning until the evening – an absolute dream!
The flat was thoughtfully decorated. The many plants and decorative elements around the flat made it feel like home. We felt very comfortable.
I am a romantic so the bedroom was my kind of room to relax in. The bed was a bit narrow but more than enough for us. The colours in the room were exactly to my taste and the canopy bed made my heart beat faster.
We started looking for a flat in Barcelona early on, right after we had decided to spend about three weeks there.
There are many flats on Airbnb all over the city and they come in all sizes and price ranges. Our criteria were:
- Free and fast WiFi
- Separate bedroom and living room
- Whole flat to ourselves
- Holiday apartment if possible
That almost didn’t limit the number of results that came up in the search at all, so we set a maximum price to cut down the results at least a little bit. We contacted some of the hosts and finally picked Arturo’s flat. He had described his place as an „Apartment close to Sagrada Familia“. And he was right to do so. Not only did the rooftop terrace have a direct view of the Sagrada Familia, but walking there only took us 15 minutes! Thankfully, the apartment had an elevator – it was on the 7th floor!

A lovely flat near the Vistula
We searched for our perfect apartment on AirBnB prior to our stay in Krakow. And we found a really lovely place.
I walked to the apartment from the train station. It was a 2 km walk and it took me about 30 minutes to get there. The way was reasonably easy to find and the walk was a treat after the flight.
Our host Hubert awaited me on the second floor (no elevator!) of the house and talked me through the facilities of the apartment. After he handed me the keys I had time to inspect everything.
The flat in Krakow was very clean and tidy. I felt comfortable right away. The bathroom came with a shower and a washing machine. A hair drier had also been laid out for me. The kitchen met my expectations with the dishwasher, gas stove and oven. I also found a little tea and coffee, just enough to get me started in the new place. I arrived on a Sunday, so I was very happy about the complimentary hot drinks.
The bed in the bedroom wasn’t very big – very cuddle-friendly! In the living room was a big leather couch in front of a TV (Polish TV stations only) and a dining table.
The true eye-catcher in the living room, however, was the chair. I am not sure if it was a Barber’s chair or an old dentist’s chair, but sitting on it was super comfortable.
There were also two bikes in the living room that could potentially come in very handy for a trip through Krakow.
Always very important for us: the Wi-Fi! The connection was stable and we were able to work without any problems.
Our windows were facing a quiet backyard. The only noises came from a school and a nursery. We hardly ever heard the other residents of the building. I found it to be very quiet and relaxing.
Our surroundings
For those with a passion for shopping the location of the flat is ideal. Just across the junction is the entrance to a big mall. Besides the usual big names of the fast fashion industry, the windows of brands unknown in Germany display many temptations.
The flat in Krakow is only a 5-minute walk away from the Vistula; made for relaxing walks along the embankments. The fastest route to the river is also through the mall, by the way.
The Jewish District Kazimierz can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot. This district puts forward not only excellent restaurants but also the possibility to dive deeper into the history of Krakow.
It’s a 20-minute walk to the Old town and an extra 5 minutes bring you to the Wawel.
Our flat in Krakow was really lovely and we’d certainly come back here if our future holds another trip to Krakow.
