Alexandra's apt was so clean it practically sparkled, and it was so comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was amazing. The bathtub was just the right size - it was cold and I took a hot bath most nights. So relaxing. The kitchen is large with everything you need. We used the coffee maker which was great, and having a dishwasher made everything super easy. The apt is about a 5 minute walk from both the subway and the tram, so it was very convenient for getting around. It was only a few stops to get downtown, and the public transportation runs all the time - never more than a few minutes to wait. The neighborhood was very homey, with lots of restaurants and pubs. Alexandra's suggestions were excellent. One thing I LOVED about this apt was that it was a few minutes walk from a great farmers market where we found coffee, prepared food, cheese, veggies, all kinds of baked goods both healthy and just gorgeous, etc. It was right next to the subway so sometimes we started our day there with something quick to eat, and sometimes on our way back in the late afternoon we picked up snacks. Everyone was very friendly and spoke enough English for us to get by. Highlights of the trip were a visit to the National Gallery modern art building - it has the most amazing modern art collection, so worth visiting. We did a free walking tour with Discover tours of the city, which was excellent, and also a tour of the castle with them which was also great. We booked tickets in advance, and saw Carmen (opera) and the Nutcracker (ballet). There is so much music make sure to book something. Alexandra while she does not live in Prague was available by email and phone when we needed to contact her to get her help with the heat which we could not figure out how to get on. I highly recommend staying here if you want to feel like you live in Prague, away from the tourists, but very close to everything.
