The Stranskis are a very warm Czech couple and the tremendous hosts who live in this idyllic house on the hill. Although they both clearly run very busy lives, communication was great on getting in, they were always providing more that what my wife and I needed, and even took time to join us for coffee and pie, and talk about their world a bit.

The flat is in the first floor of this enormous house, completely separate from where the hosts live on the top floor, so very private. It possesses plenty of room for dining in and relaxing, and in front is a massive garden. We were lucky enough to visit in the spring when many of the flowers were in full bloom and enjoyed a cold Czech pilsner out on the patio chairs a few times. The neighborhood is one of the higher points in Prague, so you get these wonderful orange roof views from the garden or taking a walk any direction out the front gate.

It seemed a bit out of town when I was looking at the map, but the tram is 2 minutes away and the tourist areas just minutes by tram or metro. I really appreciated coming "home" away from the cash exchanges and overpriced restaurants of the city centre to what must be one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Prague. Prague 6, or Dejvicka is full of local gems that are cheap and delicious including some curbside cafes, wine bars, and grocery places a 5 minute walk up the hill from Martin's place.

I would highly recommend this one if you are looking for space, quiet, and a unique and memorable stay in Prague. Ask for a map to the forest trails and you will start a good adventure.
