OVERALL: A gorgeous apartment in a great spot with a great host (and housekeeper / welcoming party), highly recommended.
THE HOST: We didn't get to meet Victoria, but she provided plenty of great information and was very helpful. Ruslan (the housekeeper) was there to meet us and was very helpful and enthusiastic in showing us around the apartment.
THE APARTMENT: Huge, fantastic, gorgeous! We absolutely loved this apartment. It's size, layout, decoration and style were brilliant. The ceiling was unique and gave us quiet a fun and interesting time puzzling over the "story" being told through the paintings.
THE LOCATION: Absolutely fantastic. A short walk to the river, the Charles Bridge and Cafe Louvre (our favourite eatery), with a good value laundromat / laundry service at the end of the street.
DRAWBACKS: Only one slight drawback is the little bit of noise that can come up from the bar downstairs. This was generally barely noticeable and the insulation and good windows blocked almost all of it, but on a weekend night, if you are a light sleeper (and not at the bar yourself) this might cause a little disturbance, it only effected us once during our stay and it was only brief.
