This was a excellent location with good local amenities. The flat was compact with enough room for 2, although a single sofa-bed was also supplied. White goods included a fridge, washing machine, gas hob and microwave. The flat was on the first floor, up a narrow staircase, so may not be ideal for anyone with significant mobility problems. We were picked up by Anna’s friend at the airport and taken straight to the accommodation for 500 Czech crowns (about £16 sterling) - journey time about 35 - 40 mins and good value. I would thoroughly recommend this service.
Besides the usual kitchen utensils / cutlery / crockery, we were impressed by the folder supplied by Anna, which recommended walking routes, eating out tips etc. We found this useful and up-to date.
Turning left on leaving the building and crossing at the lights there is a bar on the corner; always busy with a mix of locals and visitors. We used this three times and ate there twice. The food is local, well-prepared and inexpensive, with a menu available in English. This is popular and pre-booking is recommended. Two doors past the bar is an artisan bakery selling sourdough bread, but also offering a breakfast menu. Their coffee is superb. Indeed we found the standard of coffee high throughout Prague.
Groceries. Turning right on leaving the building, it is a 15 minutes a walk to Florenc and two supermarkets: Billa and Albert. Behind Billa is Prague Bus Station, with direct non-stop links to the airport in luxury coaches: cost 60 Czech crowns ( £2 Sterling). Opposite the flat is a shop selling milk, eggs and house household essentials.
Walking distance to the centre is about 20 minutes, though longer to Prague Castle and Strahov Monastery - both worth a visit. We walked everywhere, although the tram service did appear frequent and comprehensive. Besides the city’s signature attractions, we also enjoyed the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (in an outstanding 1920s building), St Agnes of Bohemia Convent with its splendid Medieval collection, the Church of St. Nicholas with its stand-out Baroque interior. These are just a few. N.B. There are considerable tourist discounts for those age 65+
Prague is a great city. On this our first visit we stayed for 5 nights in Anna’s flat, which I would thoroughly recommend for its facilities, location an price.
