Even though Jiri was out of town during our visit, his brother welcomed us to the apartment and gave us a thorough overview of what we'd need to know about the accommodations and the neighborhood. His advice to check out the nearby BarBar restaurant led us to a real local gem!
The apartment itself is a delight. Spacious for two people with a solid washing machine and an excellent shower, it offers an atmosphere that won't be had at a hotel without spending a small fortune.
Beyond the apartment itself, Jiri's is only fifty meters from one of Prague's great parks and a quick hike or quicker funicular ride to Petřín Tower and one of the city's best views. Beyond that, one can easily walk to Charles Bridge, the heart of the old city, or a metro stop to take you further on.
