A perfect AirBNB New Years adventure. Jiří could not have been a better host! Even with air travel snafus and the like, Jiří was incredibly accommodating and helpful. We loved his suggestion book, and were grateful for his tips on money exchange and taxis (P.S. Prague has Uber now, everyone!)

And the loft? Outstanding! Just as charming, clean and fun as the photos suggest. The architecture is very quirky, with the extreme slanting walls on the second level, spiral staircase, exposed beams etc, so a sense of fun is definitely warranted. We adored the sunken fireplace area (we called it the Hot Tub), and spent New Years post-fireworks-and-snow cuddled up around it. The penthouse, as implied, is at the top of a 5-or-so story building, and has an amazing view from the loft of the National Theater and castle in the distance. The building is antique, though very nicely maintained, and there is a very helpful elevator (Some steps still required) to get you to the top. Our only challenge was figuring out the shower - if the water stream is too strong and the curtain isn't completely closed, the water will quickly overtake the shallow basin and spill all over the bathroom (there is a mop at hand in case this happens).

Perhaps best of all, the location is the best Prague can offer. Only a couple blocks from the river, the National Theater, and Most legií (a beautiful bridge), it is perfectly situated between Old Town and Lesser Town, with fabulous restaurants and sights in every direction. Prague 1 is crazy walkable, and we indeed walked everywhere, only grabbing Ubers or using public transit when we needed to be somewhere at a certain time.

Thanks Jiří, for everything! We adored both Prague and your loft and hope to come back in the future.
