The host was waiting for us in the flat and was very friendly and helpful, telling us about local transport links, shops, etc. We arrived in a heatwave, and a large bottle of water had thoughtfully been put in the fridge for us. The apartment is in a converted hotel that was divided up, so you get a bedroom and attached bathroom from the original hotel layout. There is a shared corridor with another, neighbouring apartment of the same type, but that is not an issue as the bedroom door locks - you feel you have complete privacy. The bedroom has a microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle, etc so we were able to do some basic self catering. The apartment is quiet because the windows open on to an inner courtyard, and it is nicely decorated - all the furnishings were in good condition and everything was very clean.

The district is not particularly smart but it did not seem at all dangerous - we were happy walking around late at night - and it is very convenient. There is a minimart 30 seconds from the front door which is really handy - it seemed to have most things you would want, including an ATM. Florenc bus and metro station is an easy 5-10 minute walk away, and actually we walked to the Old Town many times - that takes around 20 minutes. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a short stay in Prague.
