Here's where I'm staying (an apartment located next to this square) - http://www.cracow-life.com/poland/krakow-market-square. The apartment itself is very European! My only complaint is that, being right on the main square, people don't start quieting down until after 2am.

This will be my first time there, and I'm honored! http://www.jwsecure.com/dan/2008/05/10/see-you-at-confidence-next-week/ "This American Life" (of National Public Radio fame) is running a great episode this week about the factors contributing to the current housing and credit crises (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=355).
