It was wonderful staying at Jaroslav's place. The flat, the former atelier of Czech scupltor Zdenek Sputa, has a truly unique character, one that makes you feel as if you were right in the middle of the bustling avant-garde scene of postwar Czechoslovakia. The atelier is bright, clean and quiet, it has everything that one might wish for. The neighbourhood of Vinohrady is lively and cool, full of cafés, restaurants. The neighbourhood very central and yet without the touristic soullessness that you sometimes notice in the Old City of Prague, especially in the summer. Jaroslav was a delightful host. We did not meet personally, but he kept in steady contact, arranging for a comfortable taxi to pick me up from the airport, asking me whether I needed anything and available at any time. I would recommend the place a hundred times!
