I'm sure this review might sound a bit TOO complimentary but right from the first correspondence with our host Jan,we were very impressed with his helpfulness and personable nature. He ended up helping us in more ways than I can count and we appreciated it so much.
We are a family of 7 ( 5 adults and 2 young boys) who were travelling through Europe,needing 2 close-to-each-other apartments in each of 5 cities.Prague was the city we would be staying in for Christmas week and we wanted our young grandsons to experience a true wintery holiday( they live in Costa Rica and have never seen snow or below zero temperatures).
Jan let us know right away that he would try hard to help us find enough snow out in the Czech countryside to help the boys go tobogganing ( Prague itself was having a snowless December so far). He went out of his way,calling friends and family to get weather reports in other towns and so on...much more than he needed to do to fulfill his role as host,that's for sure. And his generosity spread even further, when his wonderful Father showed up EVERY morning that we were there,with fresh bread,butter,milk,muffins...just so friendly and neighborly...wanting us all to enjoy our first experience with Prague and his son's rental apartment...and this generosity even extended to OUR son and his young family,who were actually staying at a near-by apartment and would drop in for our morning planning session, so Jan's Dad increased the bag of breakfast treats to include the others who were thoroughly thrilled with this gesture.
The apartment is VERY roomy with a truly beautiful big living room,bright and spacious with 2 large floor to ceiling windows and a really unique old-fashioned sleeping loft. So authentic and homey!!! The kitchen is also very bright and roomy...we easily had family dinners for all of us and Christmas morning was extra special. Again, Jan was on track with us ,helping me print our airline tickets for the next part of our journey.
All in all, our first Airbnb experience couldn't have been better and THIS apartment and THIS host were the best we could have hoped for. Thanks again, Jan. We'll be in touch again soon when friends and family want a recommendation for a great place to stay in Prague.
