Rick is a kind and thoughtful host, who loves to form a personal connection. If you prefer a cold, fast experience where you don't even meet the host, I would not advise staying here.
If you want some good inside tips about Prague, to learn the best places for food and to avoid the (large) crowds, and to really get to know your host, I would recommend staying in Rick's apartment.
It was very easy to check in and check out, and Rick was accommodating of our late arrival and departure. All in all, we loved our stay.
