The apartment was spotless and looked exactly as it appears in the listing (which isn't always the case). If anything, the apartment felt LARGER than the photos. In any event, it was a really beautiful place and very convenient to shopping, restaurants, the metro, and Wenceslas Square.
Ilya provided clear instructions on how to self-access the apartment, but we were so delayed arriving that we had to ask him to meet us personally. He agreed (to our relief) as it was almost midnight and we would have been in a bind otherwise. He was cheerful, offered to help us with our bags, and gave us a quick tour of the place.
Overall, the best airbnb experience we have ever had. We can't recommend the apartment or Ilya as a host enough.
