Such a great stay! The information Robert and Pavel gave us in advance made it really simple and relaxing using the public transport to get to the apartment. The four of us met Pavel there and he gave us some great recommendations based on what we wanted for where to go for shopping, food and drinks; he even had some maps of the area to show us exactly where places were.
There's a supermarket just around the corner which was ideal for getting breakfast in the mornings and picking up the toiletries we'd forgotten.
During the day we walked all the way from the apartment, through the town and up to the castle, it was a really nice walk (but quite long if you don't like walking far), we got the metro back again which was so easy to do.
We decided to stay in the local area in the evenings instead of venturing into the old town and the bars were far less tourist orientated but really friendly and well priced, we're glad we did it and didn't miss the old town at all (but it is worth looking around during the day).
Thank you Rob and Pavel!
