This was perhaps our favorite home of any of the places we have rented on airbnb. Quirky, colorful, full of hand-painted flourishes and creative installations (mini bathtubs for sinks, repurposed sewing machine stands as side tables, handprinted DIY wall-paper designs, beautiful unmatched jars of potted plants and herbs on the little terrace) . . . this sunny, cheerful home was just that: a real HOME. With cozy bunk beds and kids' artwork on display, boxes of toys and bright, whimsical touches, it's clear that children are the focus of this lovely, cluttered apartment. While the appliances and features are far from high-tech (no standing shower stall, only 2 small electric burner plates on the stove, no AC, etc.), the home is equipped with everything a family needs: lots and lots of lovingly used kitchen equipment, piles of (slightly threadbare) towels and sheets, all the knickknacks and odds and ends that an ordinary lived-in home has as a matter of course. We LOVED how bright and cozy it felt, but it is DEFINITELY NOT for people looking for more corporate-style housing, devoid of personal belongings or decoration. It is also not luxurious in the conventional sense. Staying at Kristyna's was like borrowing a beloved friend's home . . . full of bohemian flair and the evidence of her lively family life. The apartment complex lies in a leafy, middle-class family quarter about 20 minutes by tram from downtown Prague. It's quiet and green, on a slight rise above the city; the apartment overlooks a playground and there are always kids to be seen, playing in idyllic settings. Supermarkets, a bakery and little Vietnamese delis (which feature delicious produce) are close by. For hard-core New Yorkers used to living in the hectic environs of downtown Manhattan, it felt like a lovely oasis. Kristyna is eagerly responsive and a total delight. Be sure to take care of her beautiful plants, they are part and parcel of this living, breathing, joy-filled home.
