There's no question that the location of this apartment is spectacular. The view out of the bedroom window is breathtaking and there's glühwein right outside at the Christmas market. There's plenty of shopping a stone's throw away and we walked to numerous yummy restaurants.
There were a few things that held us back from rating this apartment 5 stars 1. the wifi was dreadfully slow and made it impossible to download any movies/tv shows for our flight home; 2. the noise at night and early in the morning made hard for us to get a good night's sleep. It should be noted that I am a pretty light sleeper, but drunk college kids singing outside my window at 2am and then a chainsaw to take down a tree at 7:30am the next morning was rather annoying. If you are a light sleeper, then I would bring strong ear plugs; 3. The bathroom has poor water drainage so it smells slightly like mildew and water remains on the bathroom floor after every shower. I sometimes wore tights and they ended up wet because I forgot the bathroom floor would be wet an hour later.
Thomas is terrific and his wife is equally as gracious. They provided us all the necessary instructions and made us feel at home. We had a wonderful time, but we will probably stay somewhere quieter next time. If you want to be in the heart of the action with an unbelievable view and don't mind slow wifi or a damp bathroom, then this is a perfect spot. The apartment is immaculate and even has a working washing machine.
We are very grateful to have stayed at Thomas' apartment for our first visit to Prague.
