We had a wonderful stay in Galyna’s apartment in Prague. It’s in a great, central location, just off Wenceslas Square and 5 minutes walk from the Muzeum Metro. The apartment is spacious and stylish, is well equipped for self catering and long stays and has the most amazing views over to the floodlit castle at night. To get this view, you are on the fourth floor, accessed by a secure, private lift or staircase.
Just to clarify getting there. If you are arriving via the airport, buy a public transport ticket from one of the yellow machines as you exit the airport building Terminal 2 using Exit D, heading for the bus stops. Then take the 119 bus (validating your ticket by slitting it into the yellow machine at the bus stop first) to Nadrazi Veleslavin (the terminal stop for this bus) and transfer onto the Metro, the green line A. Take the Metro heading towards Hostivar Depot. You get off the Metro at Muzeum and head for an exit to the street, emerging at the top of Wenceslas Square. With the imposing Museum behind you, head for the KFC restaurant on the left of the square, on the corner of Krakovská Street. Head up this street, past the police station and, just before the Indian restaurant at the end, on the right hand side of the street is the big brown door of number 5, where Galyna will meet you and take you up to her lovely apartment.
This journey takes about 40 minutes and is safe, easy and cheap. If you intend to travel the city, the public transport is highly recommended. You can get a three day ticket or, if staying longer, the 30 day ticket might work out cheaper. These tickets are valid on bus, metro and tram and will get you everywhere, just hop on and off.

So thank you Galyna for a wonderful place to stay and thank you Prague for a great week.
