The attic apartment was wonderful! I stayed here for a month while I completed a 4-week course in Prague 9. Jan was so helpful and patient with me when I had questions. He was so nice even when I bothered him while he was on vacation. Sorry, Jan! But thanks for everything =) In the apartment you have all your basic amenities: a private bathroom, washing machine, kitchen with microwave and fridge, dining area, sofa, separate bedroom space, plenty of storage space with hangers. Billa and Albert's, the supermarkets, are only a couple blocks away. I frequented the restaurant down the street, Tankovna Palmovka, a couple times a week when I needed a beer or didn't have the time (or energy) to make dinner. Their food and drinks are lovely and the prices are more than fair and the service is great - highly recommend! The metro is close - I'd estimate 5 blocks away, maybe 10 minutes to walk to. A pleasant walk! Palmovka is maybe 10 minutes to the city center so you're close to Old Town and all things touristy. Between the attic apartment and the metro you'll find other places you might need like a drug store, a pharmacy, a pizza/kebab joint, a coffee shop (that's closed on weekends for some reason), a few other restaurants (including a Vegan place), a bank, some clothes shops, an electronic store, and some random food vendors among other things. The neighborhood is cool - there are some really pretty buildings. It's more of a residential area, so lots of families out on walks, pushing strollers, riding bikes, etc. ATTN SOLO FEMALE TRAVELERS: Safety is normally our number one concern. I'm here to tell you this is a safe area and a secure apartment! I never once feared for my safety here, day or night. To get to the attic apartment you must walk through several doors which lock behind you and go up a few sets of stairs. I barely saw (or heard) any other residents while I was there, much less anyone else. I walked from the metro a few times by myself late at night and was dropped off near the entrance a couple times pretty late and I was fine. So I hope that eases your mind. Although, always be alert and cautious, obviously. One thing (which was not a "con" for me, but could be for some) to keep in mind is the trams can be noisy at all hours. Sometimes in the morning during rush hour there would be some honking. The rain can be loud on the windows as well. If you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise in general, this may not be your spot. I rather enjoyed the constant noise =) I would definitely return and recommend to friends, family, and all of you!
