Danilo's place is a gem. It is a studio apartment on the third floor of a fourteenth century building. It is actually attached to the Mala Strana end of the Charles Bridge. You could not make it up really.
You open a window, to see right next to you, the towers and arches of that end of this famous bridge. Look to your left and the whole vista of the wonderful Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral hoves into view. My breath was taken away. Daily.
The street the house is on - Mostecka- is full of ancient houses and looks like a movie set. In fact we saw a Japanese couple having their wedding photos taken there today just before we left.
On the ground floor of this large building is a supermarket, an ice cream parlour, and a baguette and snack shop. Opposite more shops and nearby there are restaurants and eateries and pubs galore.
You can walk everywhere from this place. The Mala Strana area and the castle. A hop skip and a jump and you are across the Charles Bridge and you are in the Stare Mesto area, for the Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter and cemetery, and Wenceslas Square. You are also in an excellent position to take a river boat tour to see Prague from the water. Recommended . There can be fewer better locations in Prague in my view.
The apartment itself comprises a galley kitchen, tidy and neatly equipped , with fridge, washing machine and cupboards. There is a small but nice little bathroom with a small but deep bath, and shower attachments. The sink is a little challenging for wet shavers, I am led to believe. Hot water and all that stuff, fine btw.
The main room is lovely. King size bed. Very comfortable. Two large windows with amazing views. Wooden floor and colourful rugs. Leather sofa, large and comfortable , and quaint old sewing machine table and chairs, by the window for the views! A large antique dresser, with storage drawers, houses a wide screen TV with Sky, I'm told though we didn't watch the telly in Prague . Too much else to see. A large antique wardrobe. And, it has to be said - space. It is a large , high room. Lovely.
In all , it is a bit special. And the host Danilo, is a breed apart. Such a kind, organised and caring man. He is also very good-humoured. An exceptional communicator.
Would I visit again? In a heartbeat!
