We are joining the chorus of those singing Alice’s praises!
This AirBNB experience was definitely one of our best. This lovely apartment is situated in a fabulous location- very safe, quiet at night- yet a stone’s throw from the beautiful old town square. The place is very nicely appointed: from the thick/luxe towels (with some replacements also, in case you need them), to the beautiful bedding, modern closet storage, great kitchen supplies- including coffee for your first am cups.
As a family of 4 - with two 6+ foot sons, we appreciate good sleeping accommodations. A little rickety sleeper sofa isn’t going to cut it for them. The lovely sofa in Alice’s apartment is far from that and was super comfortable. Additionally, although we easily could have folded up the sofa each day, we did not need to, as the living space was very spacious, and we had another space to sit, should we want to watch TV/Netflix, etc (though we never had the opportunity due to do so as always out exploring the nearby sites).
The stairs getting up to her 4th floor might be a challenge for for some if carrying luggage is a problem- but we were again blessed to have strong young men to bring up our bags. The day to day up and down was not an issue at all. Walking up and down the steps each day, you view the Jewish cemetery right out the back of stairwell windows, a beautiful, sobering sight that invited you to pause again and again.
Now, as to Alice herself: She is the most attentive and helpful host we have ever had! We drove over 900 km the day of our arrival- and had asked how late we could still arrive. She said not to worry, she could meet us late. The drive took longer than expected, so we arrived at 11pm. Alice spotted our car from the apartment, yoo-hooed out the window (we were a little confused which was the actual apartment)- then still have us the full run down of all things in the apartment (very detailed and helpful). And made recs for where to get pastries, have lunch, get dinner, get money, etc. Finally: she had made recs for where to park our car (by the Rudolfinum, FYI)- and still jumped our car to help my husband navigate the tricky 1 way roads to get there! Amazing, no?
Alice checked in via WhatsApp frequently to make sure we were doing well. She was most helpful and acted more like a friend whom you were staying with while visiting from out of town. When there was a glitch with the AC (construction on the roof prohibited use for the last 2 days), she brought us 2 fans to make sure we would be comfortable - which was more than enough. The many lovely windows brought in fresh air at night- and there was NO noise in this quite location. Furthermore, Alice offered to compensate us for this (minor) inconvenience with a discounted sightseeing tour she would arrange with her guide (we were so enthralled with the local sites we didn’t take advantage of the offer, but might have if we had another day free). To sum up: Alice was above and beyond attentive, helpful and super fair.
So, look no further. This is the place. Feel lucky if your dates match up. You found a great spot for location, value, comfort, and quality attention and resources from a knowledgeable host.
