Just do it! You won't regret it. Carolyn and I spent 4 lovely nights at Hana and Lukas' houseboat. The worst thing I can say is that the place is so wonderful we had trouble leaving each morning to go explore Prague. Hana and Lukas are wonderful hosts who were simultaneously available and respectful of our privacy. Lukas is the designer of this place, and he worked with architects to realize it, and Hana and he worked with interior designers, galleries, and modern furniture showrooms to outfit it. The houseboat is open and clean and modern with furnishings to match. The integrated home control system works well from a smart phone or any browser. The vintage B&O stereo is brought into the modern age with AirPlay compatibility--one of three audio choices you'll have. There is a projector with an Apple TV to drive it easily from your phone or laptop. The couch is large and comfortable, the bed is great, the shower perfect, the restroom and kitchen small and simple, and fully functional. It is fun to have so many options for trying out the comfort of the fantastic modern furniture. The houseboat is at the end of a limited access dock--the stairs going down are long and a bit steep, but easily traversed even with the large amount of luggage we had. We had ducks and swans visit and being surrounded by water was lovely. The houseboat is large and massive enough that we rarely noticed any movement from waves at all. There is construction going on across the water, but it's sufficiently far away and the workers start sufficiently late to never be disruptive. Rather, it is fun to watch the cranes deliver loads and workers welding ships that I think are being repurposed into shops. Home Kitchen Restaurant is great and a very short walk away and is open early and late. There's also a brewery that's even closer, with more formal food choices. The Billa supermarket is small but well stocked, and just across the street from Home Kitchen. There are a variety of places for shopping close by, and more an easy walk away. Bring robes and other comfortable clothes--passing boats occasionally show up close by, and the windows are large. We were always quite comfortable, just be aware the place is very open, which we loved. We never used the HVAC, but it is there and works if needed. It's also controlled by the home control system, so you could turn on heating or cooling over the Internet before you get back. There are many doors to the decks that either open wide or open at the top as secure vents. It's hard to grasp from the pictures how large the place is--we had plenty of room to dance and juggle in the living room, and options for where to eat either inside and out on the lovely outdoor covered decks. The neighborhood is safe and attractive--modern mixed with some beautiful older structures. We...
