I specifically didn't want to stay in a tourist area, so this apartment, off the beaten track, was fine. The premises is clean, the tall ceiling room is typical of a European room. The kitchen facilities looked new. The small washing machine downstairs is a big plus, though no dryer...remember to bring a cord to dry clothes in your room. The front desk staff spoke English well, and helped with directions and such. The only unusual thing was first getting the room key. A phone call from the front door produced (probably from the owner) directions on how to get our room key. Everything went fine, just not what I expected. (Though I have done similar at other apartments). The Pizza and Steak restaurant owner around the corner was very pleasant, and we had a few meals and pints of Czech beer there. This isn't an American 5-star hotel, but that's not what I was looking for. I'm pleased overall.
