Our group of four stayed at Rutera for four nights, with a comfortable amount of space.
Space: Ten people would be very tight. The 4th floor flat has basic necessities but is fairly bare bones other than the amenities noted, including these highlights: plenty of storage, coat hangers, washing machine, kitchen appliances. The lack of air conditioning was a struggle for us given this year’s very warm August, but all windows opened and offered cool evenings. The “welcome set” did not include all the items mentioned in the House Rules. The flat could use a good clean and attention to some minor maintenance items. Some white furniture is worn and looks dirty.
Location: The flat is in a good location— very walkable and central to old town, town square, public transportation, the main train station, restaurants and food. There is a 24-hour convenience store across the street, which is nice, but adds to the street noise at night, especially on the weekend. *NOTE*: There is a major construction project across the street (in foundation phase), with jack-hammering beginning at 7:30am. We feel the listing should have disclosed this or that hosts should have let us know in advance. We understand this is outside of the hosts’ control but the listing price did not seem commensurate for such unannounced local activity.
Hosts: Hosts were only able to offer one key, but we made that work. The hosts were extremely responsive via email or phone. The check-in process was very accommodating and welcoming. Their website and guidebook offers good recommendations. We suggest the hosts add the Prague City tax to the cost rather than asking guests to pay in cash, per Airbnb recommendations.
