We stayed here for one night and there were some pros and cons.
Pros:
-Patrick was able to grant us an early check in, which was very helpful!
-The location is great and super central to old town with a great view.
-The bed was very comfy, and the apartment was nice.
-There were a ton of books on Prague.
Cons:
-No local cell phone like advertised. There was one in the apartment, but we were never told about it and it didn’t turn on.
-There is tons of construction going on in the building, which makes it kinda dirty and extra loud in the morning.
-The apartment smelled of sewer. We were told it was because there were “dry pipes” but that didn’t really seem like the case. They did have the cleaning lady come and put cleaner in the toilet. But the clean smell lasted about 30 minutes. Let’s just say, we were glad we were only there for one night in that regard.
-We were recommended a “private driver”, Otto. Who was very nice! But the reasoning was because we would get ripped off from a regular taxi. Thing is, we spent $35 to get from the airport to the apartment with Otto, and an Uber would have been almost 1/3 of the price. (We took one from old town square to the airport and it was $13/287CZK)
-We were told upon check in that someone would be coming by in the afternoon to fix the washing machine. We asked if this could be postponed since we wouldn’t be there, but were told that it’s difficult to make an appointment so they would be coming. (Side note, there is not a lock box or anything to secure personal items.)
Pro tips:
-Bring an eye mask/ear plugs if you’re sensitive to light and sound.
-Open the front windows and the back windows to create a cross breeze (otherwise, the apt gets hot)
-Take Uber - it’s way cheaper.
Overall, it was a great location and beautiful view but we do not feel that it was worth the cost. It was double the cost (or more) compared to other Airbnb’s in the area. I don’t recommend spending the money. You can get the same view down in the square.
