Mirek’s place is exceptional and he is an exceptional host. He has thought of everything including leaving snacks on the counter and bottles of water in the fridge. I did not cook there but saw he had the things to cook with. It was hot and he had two fans to cool down the room. I thought I would feel claustrophobic in a basement apartment but it is really airy and plenty of light comes in the windows. The apartment is right down the street from the metro line Flora which takes you to all the sights you might want to see. There is a cafe down the street that serves coffee and croissants made the Parisian way, soft and flaky. I recommend going there for breakfast. Mirek is extremely helpful and a concerned host and I would recommend to stay at his place anytime.
