I’m sad to say to leave less than a 5-star review, but our 5-day stay at this apartment was just okay. We have stayed at many airbnbs and this one unfortunately wasn’t the best experience.
We were visiting family in Prague and had a local family member accompany us during the check in process. Jaroslav(the person checking us in and giving us the keys) was talking to our family member in Czech during the check in, and proceeded to tell him how much he doesn’t like Americans, which we are. Not a good feeling for us and left us questioning why our reservation was accepted if he feels this way.
The other things that took away from our experience were…
-Super creaky, bouncy floor.
-We had to buy more toilet paper.
-Only 1 kitchen towel.
-Only half a roll of paper towels, making it very hard to clean the kitchen.
-Pots and pans were so scratched the nonstick was flaking off and we couldn’t use them.
-No cooking utensils, such as a basic spatula or large spoon.
-The shower didn’t drain leaving us standing in ankle deep dirty water, which almost overflowed during each shower, even when the water was turned off during the shower to save water.
-Only one of the many windows in the living space opened, the rest were screwed shut.
-The pillows on the bed were very uncomfortable; an under-filled, square down pillow, with zero support. Not good for sleeping, at least not for us.
The pros of this apartment are the location and proximity to restaurants, cafes, stores and the Old Town. Very walkable. The building felt secure and the air conditioning was a great amenity. I’d say it’s a good stay for a night or two, but probably not great for longer stays.
