This apartment has a great location and Alina, although absent, was a highly responsive host, along with her lovely mother, who attended to matters 'on the ground', nothwithstanding the fact that her mother does not speak English and my Czech is non-existent. Generally, we enjoyed our stay at the apartment, but there were some issues with the hot water, where the pilot light kept going out (we only figured this out later, despite some repairmen apparently fixing it) and some noisy residents upstairs, which Alina got onto quickly, even though she had to have a couple of cracks at it. A couple of 'improvements' would have enhanced our experience such as a toaster and turn down shower head (I never quite get those Euro hand held showers that spray everywhere when you place them in the holder!). A softer mattress would also be nicer (personal preference, I know) and, as we battled with the microwave/convection oven and figuring out the washing machine, more detailed written instructions in English about the apartment would also be a plus.
