We had rented 2 units on the same floor from Mykhaylo, a 1BR and 2BR, and both were excellent and actually identical. We liked the fit and finish, the amenities, the comfortable beds and the fact that everything from AC's to hot water worked as promised. The location, though a USD$5 Uber ride from Old Town and the major sights but only 50 cents by tram, was full of interesting cafes and restaurants. The Indonesian restaurant in the building was top-notch in terms of the food, service and decor. The 10-minute walk to the famed Letna Beer Garden on a cliff overlooking Prague and sipping Pilsener Urquell in a forest like setting was such an European experience for us all.
If we had to find any fault, it would be this. While staying in the two apartments, my brother-in-law suffered a heart attack and, as I write 15 days after we had checked into Mykhalo's apartments, he is still at the Motol Teaching Hospital in Prague convalescing so he is fit enough to fly back. Due to this medical emergency, during which his life was hanging in balance, we had to extend our trip and find other accommodations as these two units were booked for the next week. We asked the host if the six of us could use the 1BR unit for just 4 extra hours until our next airbnb was ready for check-in. The answer came back with a yes but with a price of close to USD $50. Come on now! One of our family members was in intensive care fighting for his dear life, which the host knew, and all we needed was to sit in an apartment for four more hours after check-out time! Whatever happened to hospitality in the hospitality industry.
We ended up going to the hospital with 5 suitcases and 4 backpacks. Nobody minded our sitting in the cafeteria with luggage for a few hours until the visiting hours when we could see our relative and then check in at the next airbnb.
Despite all that, the family had some memorable times in Prague and if nothing, the crisis brought this family even closer together. Most importantly, my brother-in-law has made it even though the doctors were doubtful about his survival during the first few days.
