hello buddy,

PFB answers to your queries.

Krakow is a beautiful city. Polish people are most helpful amongst all others.
1. cost of living is cheap as compared to other European countries. 9k is more than enough.
2. Weather is awesome. City is mostly safe.
3. ref point 1. Saving is completely personal choice and depends on your style of living.
4. If u are vegetarian then i think it will be bit difficult to adjust. If not then you are ready for a treat.
try to learn a bit of polish. It will help u a lot.
5. yes there are many. But my suggestion will be to search apartments which are directly advertised by flat owner.
You will be able to save more. website for ref: gumtree.pl/

Let me know if u need any further details. All the best
