This was an incredibly positive experience. 1st, Prague is an amazing beautiful & interesting (and very affordable!!!) city. Olga offered/insisted on picking me up at the airport. I thought this was somewhat unnecessary, but it turned out to save me a lot of time, get me oriented to Prague much faster, and recover from jet lag. The apartment was quite nice, easily accommodating 3 people. Kitchen, washing machine, TV (with only Czech channels). There was some fruit and breakfast stuff in the fridge (always a nice touch). Her friend Susan walked me to the nearest Metro stop and got me oriented and went with me to buy the appropriate "ticket" that I needed for the next couple of days...which also got me off to a good start.

The apartment was clean, clean, clean....really really clean, and it was nice to have 2 rooms.

Then on my last day I checked in with Olga to let her know I was making my final trip into Prague (to visit the Jewish Quarter) and she said that I would be pressed for time to make my 1pm flight and that I should be back at 11 and she would drive me to the airport, again! I don't want to put her on the spot for making this commitment to everyone, but she made sure that I got the most from my Prague visit.

And the apartment was quite nice...2 subway stops from the center center of Prague, but in a beautiful upscale residential area (Vinohrady) that has much better (and much more reasonably price) food. The food in the touristy parts of Prague was double or more the price in the rest of the city.

And the location was actually close enough that most of the time I walked to central Prague and after walking miles in the city center and would take the subway back (all of 8 or 10 minutes).

You can't go wrong.
