I've spent a weekend on one of Marka and Michal's houseboat for the second time - this time on Franklin - and enjoyed it as thoroughly as the first time. The place is perfectly unique for that slightly different experience of Prague. The spot on the side-arm of the river Vltava is perfectly idyllic and you can spend hours sitting on the deck, having a coffee or a glass of wine, chilling out and almost forget that you are in the middle of a capital. At the same time, you are just a short stroll and a (very nostalgic) ferry ride away from the bustling city life. Being able to take a boat ride on the river is another one of the perks of staying at this place. The houseboat is spick and span, and even though you can enjoy an atmosphere of a place that has fallen out of time a bit, the boat is equipped with all the modern appliances you'd want, absolutely comfortable and beautifully furnished. The place is run with a love for detail - from a Czech mobile phone you can take with you to dry bread in a bin to feed to the ducks (they seem to appreciate the service and keep coming by...). Marka was very welcoming even though we were late having been stuck in traffic, and whenever we had a question the reply was immediate. Thanks again for all the valuable information! I'm sure this isn't the last time for me on this boat.
