My wife and I stayed at Anita's apartment for 2 weeks. We are very happy with our experience. Anita was very helpful and welcoming hostess. We arrived much later than we expected, and our suitcase made it to Prague only the next day, so it was really nice to find everything in the apartment that a traveller would need to feel comfortable. After a 24-hour trip from Calgary, Canada, it was great to have fresh pastries, two cans of Czech beer, marmalade, coffee, tea, and fruit juice that Anita left for us. Since we didn’t bring our cell phones with us, we had to give Anita’s phone number at the airport to notify us about the arrival of our late luggage, and she was very gracious about that.
The apartment is spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated and furnished. It was always a pleasure to come “home” after a long day of sightseeing. The bathroom and kitchen are well equipped. It was also great to have nice wine glasses, beer mugs, and a very attractive tea set for two. There is a good collection of books in several languages. We brought our own books but ended up reading from Anita’s library. The apartment has its own balcony which is a great place to have your breakfast or dinner at. We also had access to the communal balcony with the great view on St. Nicholas cathedral and Prague castle. We also had access to a cozy private garden. It was nice to have an elevator to get to the 5th floor.
The location is excellent. You’re right in the middle of the historical Prague and walking distance to main tourist attractions. It’s a 2-minute walk from the apartment to Charles bridge, 20 minutes on foot to the Old Town Square, a 15-minute walk to the Prague castle, and a 10-minute walk to the funicular taking you to the top of Petrin hill with gorgeous views of the city. The location is a minute away from the tram stop and a 10-minute walk to Malostranska metro station. It is very easy to get to the airport or main train and bus stations using public transit.
The neighbourhood is alive until at least midnight, and we felt comfortable walking around any time of the day. At the same time, we weren’t bothered by noise since the bedroom is located at the back of the apartment looking into the quiet courtyard. There are plenty of small restaurants, coffee and gift shops, and mini marts right next to your doorstep.
Anita provided lots of useful information, including guide books, maps, and handouts that she wrote herself, which we found very helpful. If we ever go to Prague again, we will definitely try and stay at this place again, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anybody who is planning their trip to Prague.
