Emil & Olga are great hosts and the apartment was superb. Our flight arrived late morning and Emil arranged a taxi from the airport that took us to his office while the apartment was being cleaned. We got great recommendations for local bars and restaurants, shops and sight seeing.

The apartment was very comfortable. There is a lift so getting luggage up one floor was no problem. The apartment has a good sized open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with modern cooker, microwave, dishwasher, kettle and all the crockery and cutlery you need. It would have benefitted from a toaster! The bathroom has an enormous corner bath and is also the home of the washing machine. The bed is very comfortable, with plenty of wardrobe space and drawers etc.

The location is fabulous. Next door is a very good traditional Czech restaurant and a few steps around the corner is the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock. 2 minutes walk is a traditional Czech market and 3 minutes further you are in Weneceslas Square. Less than 10 minutes walk is the Charles Bridge (Karlov Must) leading to the Lesser Town, with the magnificent St. Nicholas church on the way up the hill to the castle and Cathederal of St. Vitus.

There is a metro station on the way to Wenceslas Square (Mustek) for those who want to travel further afield. We recommend a trip across town (by metro or tram) to spend a half day at Vysehrad. Set on a cliff above the river, it was home to the original medieval royal families, with it's superb Cathedral of Sts. Peter & Paul. The graveyard is full of modern Czech heros, including Mucha, Dvorak and Smetana.
