Comfortable family house in the historic university city of Kraków
Welcome to Bursztynowa 22, Krakow. Our family's two-floor house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac next to Kościuszko Park with the river floating across, the XVIth century mansion with the Polish cuisine restaurant, and a playground and fitness facilities.
French supermarket Auchan and a huge fresh fruit & vegetable market are just a 5-minute walk away. And everything is just 5 bus stops from the historic Old Town (taxi costs c.5 Euro )
Our house is comfortable with most of the appliances: bath, shower, dishwasher or washing machine. The main living room, kitchen, and bathroom are on the first floor. There are 3 bedrooms & the shower/toilet on the second floor.
We are open to non-simultaneous hospitality exchanges since the ground floor has an independent living room, 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a shower bathroom. Ola, our family friend & housekeeper may live here during our exchange and look after our pets and flowers.
Yes, there is also a lovely garden around with an abundance of flowers where you can grill & dine and rest listening to birds singing in bushes and trees.

About the neighborhood
Our house is in a quiet residential area, next to the park, the Pradnik river, and Ojców National Park - at the same time we are only 10-minute drive from the famous Old Town and the Market Square.
There is a very convenient public transport next to the house: buses 169 and 469 take you to the center and Wawel Castle and the famous Kazimierz district. Fast trams 18 and 50 will take you in 15 minutes to the Main Market Square.
Krakow is a lovely old university city with almost 1000 years of history, the city of Kings and Queens of Poland until the XVIth century when the capital was moved to Warsaw. It is a real gem in the world heritage with many UNESCO-qualified places of interest.
Krakow is ranked among the most popular cities to visit in Europe and possibly even in the world. No wonder it is called the Florence of the North and you can fly here within 1-3 hours from all European destinations.
Welcome to Krakow, and welcome to Poland :)

My family & pets
I have been an Intervac member of PL 0001 for 35 years years and an Intervac organizer since 1998. we have been exchanging successfully since 1993, over 35 times. I had the privilege for a few years to be an administrator of the Intervac International Facebook fan page www.facebook.com/IntervacHomeExchange. I manage the family business - a private York School of English www.york.edu.pl
We have one lovely cat Milutek.
I love gardening, traveling, photography, film, reading, and reading. My daughter Anna,a finance manager in Hamburg, would like to join me with her partner and their 6-year-old Lena Amelie, Tan,a dentist in Cambridge, my son-in-law wants to join us with my 4-year-old grandson Noa. I sometimes exchange by myself though, since my husband died 11 years ago, I would like rather to exchange with my family who live in Germany and UK.
We are all very organised and tidy and will look well after your property.
Ola has been with our family for over 35 years, she may live on the ground floor, looking after our cats Milutek and Iskierka, while I am away, so you will not have to do much of it :)
