Overall I was happy about some things and not so happy about other things while staying at this apartment. Valentina was friendly and welcoming. She was very helpful in sharing with me lots of information about Prague including maps, activities and a link to the airport transfer company. Communication was never an issue with Valentina as I was able to get in contact with her via phone at every step. I was very appreciative of all of this!
I was impressed with the cleanliness and the look of the room. It had a modern feel and looked quite cosy. However the room was very cold and the bed covers were thin, which resulted in me sleeping in my hoodie. The sink was also tiny so water constantly spilled out onto my feet when using it.
I would have preferred if the apartment was more private and was on it's own floor, which is the impression I was first given, but I was not expecting for there to be other guests staying in the room next to mine and that we would be sharing features such as microwaves in the front area outside of our rooms. I was also asked to leave my shoes by the front door which I wasn't so comfortable about as I like to keep all of my possessions secure and didnt like the idea of my shoes being out of sight or potentially in the hands of another guest.
On arrival I did make clear I had friends staying in Prague too so it might be that we will be back and forth to each others apartments if required, although not often. I was advised that would be fine but when my friend had come over shortly for the first time the next day to wait for their taxi, I received a message from the owner to say no guests are allowed. I then had to ask my friend to leave and they had to wait for their taxi outside which was a bit disappointing.
Overall I would rate this stay 3*. Valentina did put some effort in leading up to the trip so I do really appreciate her help, but I can not give it 4* or above as I have stayed at many accommodations and feel I have stayed at places I have preferred that cost the same or less. My main issue was the lack of heating. I wasn't completely in the comfort of my own privacy either, as I do generally like my own space, so had I have known it would be this way I may have chosen to stay elsewhere.
