We stayed at Port X in the last week of October 2015 and had the most wonderful time. The boat is in a part of town - Holešovice (Prague 7) - that we found very interesting… it's in a sort of small scale harbour for fascinating and beautiful apartments and boats, in an area that in the process of being regenerated. Being down on the water against the high stone quayside made the location peaceful and secluded (and very safe and quiet - apart from the odd grumpy duck) and the boat itself is very very super cool, design-wise. Ducks swam past…fishes jumped…and across the little harbor boats were being repaired…while we relaxed on deck, nearly at water level. It was superb.

The centre of Prague was very busy, so it was great to have a quiet get away. Port X is just three or four stops on the metro (red line, north) and then ten or fifteen minutes walk from there. This part of the river is lined with trees (wonderful colours when we were there) and there are paths along the banks and across the bridges. We did some great runs around and about.

The surrounding parts of Prague 7 near the boat are not touristy at all, and there are some really good modern and traditional restaurants and cafes (especially Home Kitchen) - and a supermarket (Billa) just across the street. Hana and Lukas were great hosts, so very helpful with showing us around the boat and gave great advice about things to do. They are very engaged in the art world and their suggestions on what to see were especially appreciated.

Overall, a wonderful home to stay in, in a great city that we saw at its best, looked after by superb hosts.
