The perfect place to experience the essence of Prague - a short walk from the Old Town action, but quiet and authentic. We felt as if we were living in the coolest spot in town, rather than being tourists. Plenty of light with quintessential views of rooftops and churches. Our family of four (w/ two twenty-something boys) stayed for four days looked forward to returning to our giant loft after sightseeing to spread out and relax. Coffee/tea much appreciated. Great towels. Morning pastries to die for from Bakeshop, two blocks away. We didn't get to meet Rached, but communication with him was excellent. He set up seamless airport transport (in a BMW X5), recommended restaurants and arranged for a rep to meet us and help us move in. Would go back in a heartbeat - in fact I wish I could live there and work at that desk with the castle view.
