We just came back from a three day stay at Jirí's gorgeous apartment. To be honest, pictures don't do this apartment justice. I chose this apartment because the reviews were outstanding and the location seemed perfect and the apartment looked very nice in the pictures, and also because of airport pick up which made things so much easier traveling with our 5 and 2 yr old. It was such a pleasure to meet Jirí at the airport, as he is such a sincerely kind man and host. The drive wasn't very long to get to the apartment and the apartment was literally right downtown. When we walked into the apartment we were absolutely stunned by how beautiful it was. You could feel the history of that place with the very high ceilings, the crown molding, the gorgeous furniture and paintings. The massive windows were also beautiful. The bedroom my 5 yr slept in was perfect for her and had many toys and puzzles for both children to enjoy. There is also a nice size TV with satellite channels which kept them quiet while we prepared for our day or unwinded after a full day out. The apartment, although very historical, was also renovated with a lot of modern amenities. The kitchen was great to cook our breakfast in, with a market on the same street as the apartment to pick up a few groceries. It had a large fridge, microwave, stove/oven, coffee maker and kettle. The bathrooms were both very clean and nice along with the shower which had hot water. The entire apartment for its size and high ceilings was very warm and stayed warm our entire time there. For being very central and with the trams running back and forth on that street, the noise at night time was minimal and it wasn't a problem. The street the apartment is on had many cafés, grocery market/convenient store, a McDonald's, and a few other restaurants along with public transportation right on the doorstep. We were able to walk to the Old Town Square (which is breathtaking) within 10/15 mins with our kids and the famous Charles Bridge was another 5-7 mins from there walking past all the shops and restaurants (lots of shopping can be done in this area or Thai massages) From the bridge, we walked across and stopped for an incredible Czech beer and realized we were very close to the steps that take you up to the castle. There was a tram Jirí told us about but we ended walking up to the castle and again, with the kids it wasn't that bad. So all in all, you can get to all the beautiful attractions on foot from the apartment, but the transportation is easily accessible and Jirí was a very great host at providing us with transportation information if we did chose to use it. It was such a nice day that we decided to take the kids to the Prague zoo and because both...
