We loved Prague! Ondřej was not available during our stay, but Vladimir and his family helped us out often and even made us Christmas potato salad. We rented the flat with the loft, two bedrooms for 6 nights, and the place grew on us. We would stay here again, but read on...
At first it was cold and the lights outside that were on motion sensors kept turning on and off all night and the giant windows -which are normally wonderful - were often lit up. We got help with the heat and we figured out how to darken the loft.
There are a few things to prepare for when renting this flat, but at its price they can be understood. First was the kitchen, it’s supplies were minimal. (Dishes-two bowls, 2knives, pots and pans- not many.) Second was the space, it was small with only one couch (a metal framed thing with space for two comfortably) and no room to walk around either bed, so no true “hang-out” space per say. The hallway was a third of the space and the tiny encased balcony was cool, but went unused in the winter. The upstairs bathroom had a great shower, but the room was so small, and we had to be so careful about the toilet. Third, the stairs both going up to the flat are off (slippery and uneven) and the spiral staircase is not for the faint of heart or anyone taller than 5’4” or any kids. Fourth, some of the AirBnB pictures show an outside space- but it didn’t belong to the flat- it was part of the restaurant that uses the same building. I thought we were getting an outside space with a coffee house downstairs, but that was not really the case. I thought the green door was in our flat, but that is to the fancy restaurant. The noise from people coming and going to and from the restaurant in the covered alleyway was not an issue, but in the winter we didn’t have any windows open.
We loved the location and we would rent here again, these are just some things to notice. If you want to watch a movie with the family... or make a big dinner.... or you have kids, just know these things. (Also, the laundry is not in the flat- not a big deal- but when you want to do laundry you have to clear it with the neighbors. Again, they are super accommodating, but aware.
Do go to Prague and do stay here.
