Prior to my leaving the U.S. for Praha, I messaged Anna for any specific instructions that I would need for my arrival to the apartment because I did not have any data on my phone while traveling abroad. She provided me with the instructions for using public transit to get to the apartment which worked until I got off the train. I had to ask some people to direct me. Once I arrived it was raining and nearly dark but I was able to find the building. However, prior to my arrival, Anna had not informed me which buzzer or unit I would need to push to get in. Without any way of contacting her without incurring a charge for data usage outside the U.S., I waited outside in the rain until some people came out from the apartment. I hurried inside still without any way of figuring out where she was. Desperate, I turned on the data and found a message from Anna. She indicated to push the buzzer "Jupiter" and that she would not be at the apartment but that her mother would let me in. I rushed to the doorway and pushed the buzzer. Anna's mother let me in and then left the apartment. Unfortunately, I had picked this apartment so that I would not be the only one in the space - I wanted the interaction with a local host. I did not see Anna until my second to last night.

My room in the apartment was spacious and relatively clean. The building is close to the Charles Bridge and about a 15-20 minute walk to the Astronomical Clock. The bathroom was functional but shared with other guests. The location was pretty ideal for the price and now that I know how things work it would be a fine option. The only downside was the miscommunication prior to my arrival about details I would need to get into the apartment.
