Mauro made us feel welcome! He was very accommodating and quickly approved our last minute request to stay at his apartment. He was speedy in replying to emails, and gave us tips on how to get to the apartment from the central train station via taxi (so that we didn't get taken advantage of). He even called us a cab himself! The journey takes about 10 minutes and costs around 5 euros. His assistant met us at the apartment to show us in and to give us all the important info.

The place itself is great, very spacious and comfortable with more or less everything you would need (including a washing machine!). The bedroom is upstairs in a loft and living room, kitchen and dining area are all one room with a separate bathroom. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, and isn't central to Old Town, but is only a 15 minute walk across the river and we didn't need to use any public transport. There are two small grocery stores (Tesco Express) a 5 minute walk away, but they do close early (around 9pm) so finding essentials after that time in the area could be tricky!

Overall we had a great time at Mauro's apartment and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Prague!
