This is a trip that wouldn't be the same without Rick.
First of all, the place is huge and sort of antique. Do not expect sterile IKEA apartment, this place is loaded with old stuff and memories, it tells a story. It had everything that you could need, from elevator in the building to gas stove with oven. There's no TV in that place, but if you want to watch TV, you probably aren't looking for an adventure anyway. You have to walk only for 10 minutes to reach an old town, and a tram / bus station is only 1 minute away from the apartment if you want to explore other parts of the city.
Rick provided us with everything we could wish for, and a promise that he'll be there if we need anything, even offered us to meet some local people. He acidentally had two tickets (30 days) for public transport that he gave us so we could easily go through the whole town of Praha. That helped us a lot, even though we walked over 110km in just 6 days! If you look for a host that will provide you with a real homestay experience - look no further. As a matter of fact - if you see this place and you don't book it right away - it's your loss.
