We looked at several properties in Mala Strana district in the $400 per night + price range for our first visit to Prague. Expectations for this home were high based on previous reviews, that with a mid $400 rate per night one should receive top tier quality, and that this property earned a Airbnb Plus rating.
The best attribute of this apartment is the outdoor space, it is incredible. I don’t think there are many other options that offer better views of old town
The interior unfortunately did not meet our expectations. The building and interior spaces are suffering from a lot of of deferred maintenance. Broken glass window panes, a inoperable washing machine, stained upholstery, a broken lamp, several light bulbs burnt out, and shower doors that didn’t close tightly all made for a unpleasant experience. The towels are very thin (one had a tear in it), and sleeping pillows are about 12 inches square with very little filling. On a positive note, the beds are very comfortable.
The apartment is spacious, as our group of 4 appreciated that we could spread out and enjoy quiet time. Nighttime noise was very limited so light sleepers should not be interrupted. The location allowed easy walking to all the major tourist spots.
As a host, Lucy is very responsive, and responded quickly to our emails. She also arranged car transportation from the train station and to the airport.
This could easily be a spectacular place with some attention to details. For now this is not what I would expect a Airbnb Plus property to be and recommend others to weigh what is important for their travel experience to what this property provides.
