Adela’s place was lovely! The furnishings were neat and the stereo/record library, huge shower, and huge windows with natural light were a big plus for us! This place is probably best suited for a few days.
Location was fantastic, a couple blocks up from the Main Street and trams to Old town (10 minutes) or a 30 minute scenic walk to get pretty much anywhere you’d want to see. Also very close in proximity to the Letna Beer Gardens and the Industrial Palace.
Beds were fairly comfortable unlike others mentioned but the pillows we found to be a tad thin for some. The futon though I would not recommend for an extended stay. We did not use it to sleep, but it felt very hard sitting on it.
Kitchen was cute and did the job, but could do with more essentials and practical wares as another reviewer mentioned ie: spatula, microwave safe dishes/bowls, measuring cups, toaster, strainer, etc.
We loved that towels, shampoo, soap, detergent, etc. were provided! Having laundry ensuite was another big plus for us. No dryer, but that didn’t matter as we found everything dried flat very quickly when put on a dry towel or hung on the rack by the big windows
Adela was friendly and generally responsive though I believe was travelling during our stay so though we were in communication with her, we did not meet her and sometimes would take a day or so to reply. She was quick though to take action one night when we got locked out. I just wish that we had been left with a more accessible point of contact while she was away.
This was the only truly negative experience that we had during our two week stay. The door self locks and there is only one key available, so one night we were locked out while letting someone else in and the door shut while doing so. Adela graciously contacted her friend Marek to come let us in with their key, though when he arrived, none of his keys worked on our lock and made us pay cash for a locksmith in cash and would not allow us to discuss with Adela first about paying nor the price (we were surprised with this detail after being let in and were told to pay immediately). It was stressful to say the least and we contacted Adela and Airbnb immediately. Though at first confirming that our payment was correct and price given fair, Adela has kindly confirmed the situation and what we paid and are in the process of a refund for the amount via Airbnb considering the situation. Though again, that issue was not in Adela’s hands to her knowledge at the time, so she can’t be faulted for it.
Having one key was also frustrating in that being there as cohorts rather than a family or group of friends on vacation, we were not on the same schedule, so coordinating who would have the key and having to make special trips to drop off/pickup the key or let someone in became tiresome over our long stay, as such I’d recommend this place to more towards groups who will be sticking together.
Other than this incident, which is being taken care of, we did enjoy Adela’s place.
