LOCATION:
Please be advised that this apartment is on the 3rd floor and the elevator is not yet in service. Thus, it is not suitable for people with disabilities or walking difficulties.
Whether you are coming to Prague from the airport or from the train station, the location is just perfect. I included the directions in the description below.
This apartment is located just in the middle of the historical Royal Vinohrady area, next to the National Museum. This is the most wanted area in Prague, best know for it`s famous residents. There are many painters and writers, who live permanently nearby – they have often been inspired by events and conversations taking place in the park next to my apartment and immortalized the park in their fiction.
Vinohrady is very popular because this historical area doesn`t get as much noise as Wenceslas` Square (which is 2 blocks away) and other noisy locations, yet, it is an area of the best restaurants, clubs and shops in Prague.
Visitors can reach Wenceslas Square in 5 minutes and the Old Town Square within 10 – 15 minutes walking and continue down to the river to explore more of Prague.
CLEANLINESS:
Clienlines is my nr. 1 priority, therefore, we clean pillows, blankets but even mattresses and sofas regularly with a special water-cleaning hoover. Upon request, I provide anti-elergic pillows for people sensitive to feathers. Otherwise, the pillows and blankets are filled with duck feather, no polyester.
House maid and cleaning upon request. Regular changing of towels and sheets + linens
PICK UP ON REQUEST:
I have my own driver, Mila, who is always happy to pick you up and drop you off at the Airport. The price from the airport to the apartment is 30USD and from the apartment to the airport 25USD.
Please note that the regular fee for Czechs is about 45USD and all the taxi driver rip off tourists, so I strongly discourage you from taking a regular (even an official) taxi.
CAUTION: due to an increase of complains in Prague, I strongly discourage you from using taxies in Prague, unless you negotiate the price in advance. Please be advised that taxi rates within the center should not exceed 9USD. If you need a taxi, please text me and I will order it for you.
CAUTION2: in Prague, there are many money exchange companies that rip tourists off. I suggest you either take money from ATM or use XCHANGE in Jindrisska street, Prague 1 (very close to Wenceslas` Square).
IDEA:
I believe that behind every successful project, there is an idea. The reason why I am renting my apartment via airbnb is to make guests` stays in Prague memorable in the best possible way. I am always happy to help with travel plans, give directions but most importantly, to provide pieces of advice that will safe time going to places which are not really worth it. People who know Prague well will tell you that Prague is about hidden small places with unique atmosphere. Those places are hard to find and they are not included in most of the guide books.
Where do the money go? I am the owner of a mid-size company in Prague and that involves a lot of traveling (mostly California, Miami, New York) that is my full time job. I do airbnb for a different purpose and the ENTIRE amount of the money that I receive is used to preserve this beautiful building. Thanks to your support, I already reconstructed all statues and decorations in the corridors of the building, isolated the cellar from wet ground, reconstructed the roof of the building (when I bought the apartment, nobody in the building paid any attention to the corridors) We also managed to built an elevator, especially to allow older people to use the building as well. By April 2015, I will have built the elevator to every floor, and all corridors reconstructed just as they were in the times the house was built. In 2015, I hope to take care of the beautiful yard which is a bit neglected today and turn it into a small oasis in the heart of Prague. Whatever was achieved was due to your help and support.
