The experience was very, very good. Michaela is a very competent host. Whenever I sent an email she came back very quickly with the response. She is a charming, vivacious lady. The room is better than advertised. It is listed as a basement room but it is actually on the ground floor as you can see from all the beautiful light coming through the window. the window looks out onto greenery and it is very, very quiet. The bed was comfortable, the shower was good. I highly recommend Michaela's apartment.

But the best part is that it is not in the heart of the tourist district. You are living with Czech people and not surrounding by the hoards of noisy tourists. The city centre is very crowded, shoulder to shoulder in some places.
Just one minute walk from Michaela's place there is, every day a great market You can buy fabulous bread, cheese. On Friday there was a brewer who sold a great IPA.

Getting from MIchaela's place to the city is easy either by half hour walk but the best way is by train. It is only a few minutes walk away, cheap and very efficient.

Take advantage of the pick up service from and to the airport.

If you are fond of craft beer, just about a 5 minutes walk away is Beer Geeks. They have 13 taps and some excellent beers. There is a monastery on top of the hill which has a brewery run by monks, St Norbert's. Good beer and good food.

If you go to the palace buy the A ticket if you can afford it. It gets you into the back of the cathedral which has dozens of alcoves, each more spectacular than the last. The art work tour is also good.

You can take a free tour from Sandriman from the Old town. You should tip your guide. If you are lucky enough to get Christine you will find out about how Czech history has directly affected her family. It was fascinating.

Have a good time and yes this is a very, very fine place to stay, much better than the touristy city centre.
