While in Katowice, we were unable to find a short-term apartment as the area is more industrial and less tourists. Hotels were more for business travellers and we too needed two rooms. For 2 rooms one week was about $1750 (avg $250/day; 125 per room) and this rate was with the weekend discount. Once in Warsaw we paid less as we could get a 2 bedroom apartment for about $100/day however we were there in the "dead of winter" and we hit a special deal. As spring and summer get closer rates will definitely increase. Also prices will vary based on how the dollar is doing -- we were happy we had exchanged enough money early in the trip as the dollar dropped twice while we were there.
