Hello, Castle!
I spent the month of July, 2022 waking up to an unencumbered view of Castle Prague. This was my first time staying at Matyas’ Airbnb flat.
I am a frequent visitor to Praha and have spent enough time there to have seen the sights more than once up close. Yet, standing each morning on the terrace of this penthouse apartment, looking from my hillside to the hillside across the Vltava, I was repeatedly overwhelmed by the majesty and beauty of this ancient place.
I would stay in this Airbnb again and again. Read the reviews. You’ll discover what you will like about lodging in this apartment.
If you aren’t on a tight schedule, stay an extra couple of days here. Go to the nearby sports complex mentioned in this Airbnb listing. Maybe take the time to visit “Prague Beach” (not far away) and taste a pie from Pizza Napoletana (they have picnic-style tables) or trek a bit further away from the city center and have an amazing lunch or dinner - for under ten bucks (next to a soccer field in Branik) - if you can actually find Restaurant ABC. Neither of these places seemed very touristy to me. I got a very “local” vibe, yet my lack of Czech proficiency was not an issue.
TIP: If you’re back at the flat by 12:29, hurry out onto the terrace before heading to bed. Just after 12:30 every night, the castle and St. Vitus Cathedral go dark. (If you take a video of the lights turning off, it won’t do it justice. A person must see it with their own eyes.)
Communication with the hosts, Matyas and Ondrej was easy. Check-in and Check-out were just about as simple as pushing the button on the elevator. The climate control kept the whole place as cool as I desired, despite the summer sunshine. The microwave, stove, refrigerator and electric kettle all worked perfectly. The furniture was truly comfortable.
I’ll stop writing now. LOL
