The trip was fun overall.
The apartment was very clean when i arrived. A couple of cleaning rags where left behind but did not bother me. Sign of cleaning being done. The building itself was going through a couple of repairs but all in all...very nice. I gave the Uber driver from the airport, the address provided in the email and he had to search for it a bit but we found the building. Seems that it doesnt take you to the right spot. I started just using the address to the restaurant on the.opposite corner and walking from there.
The apartment was the size of a small US hotel room. For some reason i was expecting an "apartment" with room for a couch or entertaining space.
I was charged $15.00 for a 2 hr early admission since my plane got in at 2pm and check in isnt until 4pm. But they forgot to adjust the time on the code box. After trying for 30 minutes and having to find the email, look up the number and call they where able to get the code changed and i could get off the sidewalk and get into the building. Very friendly on the phone...just a hassel to be charged extra for something and not be able to have it done.
The building itself and the bathrooms are not disabilty friendly. There is an elevator but there are steps up to the rooms and there is only a shower...no tub, shower seat or handrails.
There is no iron or ironing board. So if you pack your clothes tight...be prepared to wear them wrinkled or bring a travel iron. It was a bit difficult to find but i was able to by a small iron and a travel fan.
The area has grocery stores, restaurants and a pharmacy near buy but bring medications and bandaids along with you as everything is sold from a pharmacy behind lock and key
In my unit...the a/c did not cool the room. I was hot and sweaty EVERY night. One night it just shut off. I had to climb on a chair to reset it but it still didnt cool the room. I left the windows open on night because it was cooler outside rather than in.
There is only 1 washer/dryer for the entire building but there is a laundrymat very near by.
As far as location...this is more of a residential area that gets very quiet and deserted after 10pm. Although the building backs up to a pub/restaurant so if you try to sleep early it is pretty noisy. Especially with the windows open. There are quite a few gay establishments in this area for nightlife and a huge reason for my choosing it but probably would do it the other way around next time since i spent almost everyday in the Old Town Square and Castle area. Its not a far walk and there is a tram system near by but for my first time in Prague...the tram system was very comfusing so i either walked 1.9 kilometers to the sightseeing areas or took an Uber. The walk doesnt seem like much but after climbing the hill to the Castle or walking the city all day you will be using that Uber app.
All in all it was a great trip and a nice place to stay but may rethink the location when I come back.
