Travel / Which city is better to visit: Warsaw or Krakow? [169]

my brother & i are coming to krakow in winter next year. is there a better neighborhood to stay in besides 'old town'?? we'll probably be getting a 2 bedrm flat for the 3 weeks we're there. we wont have a car so we'll be only hoofin' it & using buses & trains. i dont want to be w/the rest of the tourists-we'd rather see the real krakow & it's residents. also, is there a decent rockabilly scene w/good folks?? id like to meet them as well.
