This very comfortable one-bedroom apartment was home for nearly one month and for our purposes the location could not have been better. The apartment is situated in a large building complex in a residential section to the north of Prague’s main tourist attractions. As is true of most locations in Prague one is within easy reach of everything the city has to offer by virtue of nearby access to the excellent bus, tram and metro systems. The apartment likewise is directly adjacent to Kaufland, a wonderful grocery complex that will satisfy every need for those who prefer to have meals “at home”. The kitchen is well stocked with an excellent induction stove top, microwave, cookware and utensils (although the refrigerator lacks a freezer compartment), the living area is spacious, the back deck provided a comfortable dining location on cooler nights, the bathroom/laundry is adequately sized and the bedroom with its large comfortable bed made getting over jet lag relatively easy. We were surprised with how quiet the neighborhood became after dark, which was especially appreciated given the heat wave that descended during the stay and the need to keep the windows wide open during the night. On a note of caution, there is ongoing construction on a large section of the building complex within view of the back balcony and potential renters should check with the owner on the status of work and associated noise and dust. Also note that the apartment is on the fifth floor (with elevator) of the building and thus was particularly warm during the heat wave that persisted for a portion of our stay, although the large fan provided by the owner helped to get the air moving. The fourth floor setting would of course be an asset during a winter visit as heat definitely rises in the building.
The owner Rene and his wife Marcela were simply wonderful throughout my stay and were incredibly responsive to any needs that arose. Rene was waiting for me on my arrival at the airport, showed me where to purchase a transit pass, then whisked me off to the apartment. He likewise offered return transport to the airport on our departure which was completely unexpected but very much appreciated. On arriving at the apartment I found that Marcela had prepared a melon/prosciutto/cheese salad with baguette to help me through my first evening. When the internet went down during one of the hotter days Rene kept on the service provider until the connection was restored. We had the feeling that no problem that might arise would be too great for Rene to solve and that he truly cared about the comfort of the guest. This in itself is a strong recommendation for renting this apartment.
