Jarmila was out of town when we arrived, but his mother was on hand to let us in. There was a small problem with the wireless password, and with some lights upstairs, but they were very responsive, and solved both problems immediately.

The flat itself is spacious and well appointed loft apartment, and architecturally interesting. But guests should be aware of two things: There is a rather narrow, winding staircase up to the bedroom (which may be difficult to navigate if you have big suitcases); and the shower is designed in such a way that you have to sit or kneel in the bathtub to take a shower. (The sloping roof makes it impossible to stand.) My wife and I weren't bothered by such things, but some people might be. The hosts keep a good assortment of maps and tourist info on hand.

The flat is -- as advertised -- in the heart of Old Town. All the places you'll want to visit are in walking distance. The neighborhood is normally quiet, though around midnight you'll sometimes hear groups of happily drunken boys singing or shouting as they pass by in the street. One final piece of advice: If you leave early in the morning, you'll leave the keys in the flat. DON'T go out via the exit through the courtyard of Le Terroir (restaurant below); you may get trapped, as the door out to the street requires a key! No problem if you leave via the main exit.

In general, we enjoyed the place immensely.
