Moving in Kraków: from a studio to a flat with a cellar

Kraków is always on the move: students change rooms, tenants in rented flats come and go, someone finally leaves a tenement house for a new estate. You enter the addresses, floors and a list of furniture in the app, and movers reply with offers at their own price.

Stairs in the centre, new stairwells in Ruczaj and Bronowice

In the tenement houses of the centre and Kazimierz, just getting out of the flat can be the hard part. The stairwell is narrow, the turns are tight, and often there's no lift at all. The wardrobe has to be taken apart, the sofa stood on end, and the movers may charge extra for every floor. Put in the order which floor you're on and whether there's a lift. Without that, the offer is guesswork.

Ruczaj and Bronowice have lifts, but developer flats often have nothing in them yet, so people bring boxes and furniture straight from the shop. Owners of flats let to students and tourists, on the other hand, order a clear-out after a tenant or removal of an old mattress and sofa before the next let. You can order that in the app too.

I'm moving within Kraków. What should I write so the offers make sense?

Both addresses with floors, whether there's a lift, and a list of the bigger items: wardrobes, bed, washing machine, number of boxes. Photos of the rooms help a lot. From that, the movers can judge whether a van and two people will do or more hands are needed.
