We have mixed reviews on this property - there are good features and aspects of this property that cannot be overlooked. However, there are also some aspects that did not meet our expectations or needs as a family travelling with a young child who is almost three. We feel that had others shared honest reviews we wouldn’t have selected this apartment for our stay as it wouldn’t have served the needs of a family with a young toddler. Clearly, our needs are different to that of those younger and looking to party. We ended up leaving this property halfway through our scheduled stay to check into a hotel at great expense, but let’s focus on the positives first.
The location is remarkable. If it isn’t a minute to old town square, at best it would be two. It’s perhaps another five minutes to Charles Bridge and all that the other side of the river has to offer. And the service by the hosts was fantastic - great communication, plenty of suggestions and advice and even booked some restaurants for us. Can’t fault their service.
Now the reason we had to move to a hotel - the unbearable noise. Yes this is the festive season, however the walls are so thin that any noise outside on the street and worse inside the stairwell made it impossible for us to sleep throughout the night. We could hear a taxi outside on the street talk with the patrons. The noise inside the stair well was just as bad; a stairwell, not an elevator which for some is quite important and worth noting as the two flights of stairs isn’t in the description. For us, with luggage, toddler and stroller - this is important information. Then there is the poor attention to detail within the apartment - small things such as no soap, random foods left on the kitchen bench and open packets of food left in the fridge and spilling out. For those who need a TV when the young ones are sleeping, there isn’t one. We used our Netflix account but the wifi was only good enough in the kitchen.
In a word, for us, this apartment was underwhelming. As we’ve said, this is a great apartment for the right person. Just not for us.
