It's hard to decide which is better: Iva's flat or Iva. Both are AMAZING and this might have been the best experience I've ever had with Airbnb. I arrived on a late train and, even though Iva sent very detailed directions to the apartment, she insisted on meeting me at the tram stop and walking the last 90 meters with me. She gave me a thorough tour of the flat, which is HUGE for a 1-BR by European standards. Large bedroom with a double bed, high ceilings, a desk (complete with travel guides in several languages, and a notepad and pen), a chair, another desk (this one with a water heater, microwave, coffee, tea, and Belvita crackers), and a wardrobe. The flat had a toilet with sink and a large bathroom that looked new with a shower, nice sink, and vanity, and mini-refridgerator. The bathroom was stocked with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, even toothpaste. It shares an entrance with Iva and her husband's apartment (which came in very handy one night), but the space is totally yours. There is a GREAT little local pub across the street, Klenba Bar, with a super friendly bartender and cheap drinks (even by Prague standards). The aforementioned tram stop at the corner has 2 lines (plus a night line) that will take you to Old Town in 12 minutes. You're not going to find better value, perfect for 1 or 2 people. As for Iva and her husband, they're the type of people that make you feel good about the world: friendly, kind, helpful, and honest. Iva was very communicative throughout the entire process, sending messages to make sure everything was OK and asking if I needed anything, even while her mother was visiting from Chile. She was the perfect example of being attentive without being intrusive. I never saw her or her husband without a smile. They're just really nice people.
In summary: beautiful flat in a great location with a world-class host that is beyond affordable. 5 stars aren't enough for this one.
