For anyone wanting to experience everything Prague has to offer, the apartment at Prague City Stay should be on your list! The place is well-priced, clean and tidy with good amenities and comfortable beds. Its location is unique in that it is situated in the local area of Prague called Žižkov. While visiting and experiencing the old city (Incl Charles Bridge and prague castle) was one of our highlights, the trip was more enjoyable and memorable due to the fact that we immersed in the real heart of Czech society, culture and cuisine in Zizkov, away from the noise and over-crowding of tourists. More importantly, the area is usually quiet, safe, close to facilities such as supermarkets and located near within a few minutes walking distance to the best restaurants in prague. Not only are they priced really well compared to those in the tourist areas, but their food is amazing, authentic, and filling, overall great hearty meals.
While the Apartment is roughly 30-40 min away from the old city via walking, the place has access to various modes of transportation within a minute to five minute walking distance, including buses and trams, all of which are explained in detail by the hosts. I highly recommend using transportation in the city as it is efficient, reliable, and easily takes you to the main areas of the city.
Finally, I would like to add that our host during our stay was Branka. She is one of the best hosts I have met in my travels overseas. Genuine, reliable, and knowledgeable, she made our stay in Prague worthwhile. Always ready to answer any questions we had, and made sure we got to experience parts of the city and in the towns near Prague that are unknown to many tourists. A real local of the city, Branka is someone I highly recommend.
