If staying in the gorgeous and leafy Vinohrady over the Old or New Town location is your goal, this is a good spot. It’s very easy to work with the owners and communicate with them. Their flat is located close to a great pizza place and right across the street from a super Pan Asian restaurant. It’s also very close to a huge park we went to many times with our kids and a small park we hit daily. We liked how bright the flat was and that it has a good laundry machine and a good coffee machine. For our kids (8 and 6), the pullout bed next to the main bed in the bedroom worked great for a week. While it was warm and even hot in Prague during our week, we didn’t find the lack of Air conditioning to be an issue. Being on the first floor and having super secure barrier windows beyond the large windows that opened allowed for both total safety and lots of fresh air. The bathroom was fine.
Here are things to consider:
1) the hosts were tight with laundry and dishwasher pods. There were three of each. For 4 guests staying all week, that wasn’t ample. The same with laundry. In hot summer weather and with kids, we were a pod or two short. This is a detail.
2) the pillows and linens overall were not great. As far as the kitchen linens, there were none until we asked for dish towels. (The hosts brought these by right away!) There were no wash cloths or hand towels provided. (I’m sure they would have brought these too, but we had already asked for dish towels and didn’t want to be a pain and keep asking for things.) The pillows were stiff IKEA pillows and felt pretty much worthless in terms of comfort. The main bed should be replaced with a solid memory foam bed that travelers can truly look forward to climbing into at the end of the day. We didn’t have that feeling with this bed.
3) We made the check-in process a game with our kids. The key was in a lock box attached to a fence down the street from the flat. We had taken a sweaty train down from Berlin and then come by tram to the flat and walked up hill to get there. With another couple or crabby teenage kids as our grouping, this pretty simply system might have felt like an unfun variable.
The neighbors were friendly and there seemed to be none of the resentment about Air BnB that one can find in other places or cities. The neighborhood felt safe and offered convenient small grocery options.
If you’re looking for a place with outdoor space or that special wow factor, this is not your place. If you’re looking for a very good value in an awesome neighborhood where you’ll be safe and well positioned for Prague excursions, I’d recommend this spot.
Many thanks.
