This Airbnb experience was unfortunately negative, after many fantastic experiences in recent weeks around Eastern Europe.
We had several issues with this apartment, most of which the host saw to and appeared genuinely concerned to rectify, however we couldn't help feel a troublesome burden upon raising them.
We contacted the host a number of times throughout our four night stay and only when I suggested we wanted to leave the apartment were responses prompt.
The bedsheets felt cheap and until we asked for new ones, towels tiny. I appreciate this may sound petty to some, but the shower has terrible pressure and it is in a bath - watch your step! We were told Prague is environmentally conscious, hence the poor water flow.
There was an odour in the bathroom and also fridge until we put some food in it. However our host did scrub it well after we'd told her about this. Our host also saw to dust and grime in the bathroom and acknowledged the cleaning hadn't been done well. We were returned half the cleaning fee for this inconvenience.
The washing machine had a thick coat of mould inside, however the host explained this was not included in the list of amenities despite it being pictured on Airbnb.
The location is brilliant, with views of the river and Charles Bridge plus ten minutes from great shopping. However only one set of keys is available so couples/families will need to be well coordinated.
Our host also ensured we had plenty of info about the apartment, surrounding sites and restaurants well ahead of our arrival and recommended a brilliant taxi service we used repeatedly.
I'd love to say we had a wonderful time, but a few too many things added up to make it a poor experience for our Prague stay.
