We loved this apartment! Our hosts certainly have great taste in decor. The beautiful high ceilings and large windows overlooking the street added to the atmosphere of being at home in the city. The apartment has been recently renovated and the owners have done so with great style and attention to detail. We had all we needed for a three night stay. The bed was really comfortable.
Finding the apartment was easy, based on the directions given to us by Magdalena & Tomas. It's just a bus ride from the airport, followed by a metro transfer and a short walk.
The apartment is in a very safe district and we never felt uneasy, even at night.
It's great to be in the city but away from the main tourist areas. Having said that, we could stroll to Wenceslas Square in under 15 minutes, and we passed a farmers' market en route. On the Saturday there was a flea market in the same square.
What we loved about being in this area was that we found lovely shops and pubs that were not frequented by tourists. Right next door is an amazing delicatessen where we could buy our morning bread and supplies for picnics (if we wanted). Just along the street is a beautiful shop with olive oils, balsamics etc etc. And for the more practical items there are two small supermarkets, one of which stays open 24 hours!
We loved the Souterrain pub, just along the street. The night we went there it was busy with students hosting an event and we felt very welcome.
We had a small issue with the wifi, which Tomas promptly sorted for us. There were a couple of things we thought might be useful in the apartment, and after we sent a text to Tomas he arrived that same evening with them!
Although the large windows looking on to the street are beautiful, I would have to say that we did hear traffic, but it didn't affect us too much.
