We could not have been happier with our 5 day stay at the Rotal Palace apt. The location was fantastic: just far enough from the tourist centers to feel authentic, but still only a short walk to the Old Town Square, Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge. The neighborhood is full of galleries, restaurants, cafes, wine bars as well as the stunning art and architecture Prague is known for. With the windows open onto the courtyard below, you can here people chatting at the restaurant, and music coming from the school for performing arts next door. The street, however, is very quiet. Our favorite place was the Literarni Cafe, just a few doors down, where locals gather to drink, smoke, and talk. Our hosts were great, providing front desk service and daily maid service. The apt was spacious, and while luxury may be a stretch, was light-filled and had everything we could need. We were awakened some nights by nosy futbol fans coming in late, but that would have been true anywhere in Europe during the World Cup!
