Our family of five enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo in Prague. We made our decision based upon the reviews and the ammenities that were offered. Everything was as described on the website. Jeff (an American from CA) was an excellent host and help us with everything that we needed (parking, family friendly restaurants and etc.) We really enjoyed the amount of room that the condo offered, it beats any hotel room or suite hands down. We have been all over the world and this condo has been one of the finest we have stayed. It offered us everything that we needed and more (it was great having a washer and dryer inside the unit). Our boys loved the Sony Play Station and my wife and I enjoyed the movie library. Since we have been back to states, we have told all of our friends that we found the best place to stay in Prague, when they are ready to visit Prague. This is the place, we recommend with no reservations. As a matter of fact when we got to Berlin and stayed at the new Marriot Berlin (the business side of our trip) we felt as we took a step down in accommodations, we miss the condo that much.

Recommended for:Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed 5 nights in this beautiful apartment in Prague. We can't say enough about Jeff and his hospitality. Our train arrival was delayed 7 hours, but he had a driver waiting for us at the station and Jeff personally met us at the apartment at 9 pm to let us in and acquaint us with the apartment. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and comfortable. The kitchen was great for making coffee and having snacks. The availability of a washer and dryer was a real plus. Free internet worked great. The next day Jeff took us on a walking tour of Prague for more than an hour. He pointed out sights of interest and restaurants he recommended. Thanks so much Jeff! We traveled with another couple who arrived the next day. There was plenty of room for all of us to be together and yet privacy when we wanted it. The location of the apartment is great! We walked out the door and onto a tram to go to any area of the city we wanted. There was absolutely no outside noise and we felt safe in the neighborhood. All the photos and descriptions are exactly what you will experience. We recommend staying at this apartment if you want a wonderful experience in Prague.

We have just returned from a visit to Prague and staying at Jeff's luxury apartment. Everything on this wonderful website is completely as advertised. As you will read in all of the guest comments, Jeff arranged for a driver to pick us up at the train station, he met us at the apartment to explain everything to us and offered to set up sightseeing tours or anything else we wanted. It was perfectly located to walk to just about everything -- we did take the metro to some of the more distant sights. There's a small grocery store right on the corner, Starbuck's across the street, large indoor mall within walking distance, liquor stores, ATM's, restaurants, etc. all easily accessible from the apartment. We loved Prague and loved our accommodations!! Highly recommend this apartment -- much nicer for our family than coming home at night to three separate hotel rooms.

My husband, sister, and brother recently stayed at this property. We have stayed in Prague before back in 2001. The city has improved and obviously the accomodations have also. The best thing I can say is read all of the guests comments. If you are looking for a place to stay, look no further. When I told my nephew about the accomodations, showed him pictures, and told him about the driver who picks you up at the airport, he immediately said "SCAM!" There was no way one could get what we found at the price we found on the internet without it being a scam. Boy was Jimmy wrong! The amenities at this flat made for the perfect vacation. The laundry facilities in the apartment which we knew about ahead of time made it easier to pack for this trip. Carrying less on a long flight is a good thing. Forget about worrying about Security. You have to get through a minimum of 3 double deadbolt locks just to get to the flat, (Front entry of building, lift, stairway, and front door, all double bolted) At night the double horse carraiges that take tourists around the city come down the cobblestoned street below the flats windows. How romantic! Having the full kitchen was wonderful. My husband made breakfast for us everyday, we toured the city during the day taking in a lunch or dinner sampling the wonderful restaurants, but we didn't want to eat out every night. We didn't watch the 90 HD movies in the modern entertainment system, although we listened to classical music. If you have children, the playstation 3 and the movies will keep them entertained. My husband especially liked the desktop computer and the wifi that is included. All of us were making internet phone calls at the end of our day to rave about this fabulous city. At 2 cents per minute rather than $2.00 per minute from your gps cell phone is a huge difference. Computer to computer calls are free. Bring your laptop with webcam and you can actually see your family and pets you have left behind while you are talking to them. Thank you Jeff and Ronnie for providing the perfect vacation for us. Now is there anything you can do about the plane delays at JFK? :-)

As promised, when we arrived at Prague Airport, the driver was waiting to pick us up with his Mercedes van. When we reached the apartment, the host was waiting for us. He gave us a thorough explaination of the apartment and the facilities that were available. Incidently, EVERYTHING that was advertized regarding the apartment was accurate. The next day we got a lovely introduction to the neighborhood with the host pointing out the grocery stores, dining places, banks, tram station etc. He arranged two tours for us. One was the Prague city tour and the other to the charlstein castle. Both were wonderful with well informed guides. We are a family of 5 and the three kids all had a great time with the entertainment system and its choice of 90 movies! I would highly recommend this apartment and if we do come to Prague again, would love to stay here again.

Definately consider this apt if you are going to Prague! We moved to the apt after 4 nights in a hotel, and the difference was night and day. Jeff met us at the apt and took us on a walking tour of the neighborhood, pointing out good restaurants. Jeff even went to the pharmacy for us one day when we were under the weather.

We had a lovely time in the apartment - perfect for two couples travelling together. Great location - we walked everywhere. The pictures tell the story - you get what you see. Jeff is a wonderful host and made us feel really welcome. If we go back to Prague we'll hope the apartment is available.

"Over the top" with the owner/host, ammenitities of condo, and location! We arrived late afternoon and were greeted outside the condo by the owner who showed us around the spacious, renovated apartment. A walking tour of the area followed with his recommendations for dining, market shopping, ATM/banks. Whatever our requests were, the owner came through flawlessly with driver meeting us at the train station and Opera House the following night. When we requested a private tour guide of the city, the owner lined up the best. Our last night we dined at the owner's recommendation, the unique La Casa Argintina in a rain forest setting a short walk from the condo. The cities tram is practically outside the door of the condo (less than 1/2 block)for convenience of getting around the city and easy to navigate. Buy your day pass at any tobacco store...one was around the corner from the condo and recommend you buy the tram map that they sell. Thank you, for a memorable stay in Prague and your gracious assistance....far better than any hotel. P.S. Bonus was washer and dryer for doing laundry!!

I really don't know where to start. First, I don't think that the pictures do justice to the luxury this apartment provides. I was traveling with two friends and we had more than enough room. I highly recommend this for any group of 3-6 travelers or for a family on vacation. Aside from the accommodations, there is also the host and the location. I use the term host for the owner of the apartment, because he is just that. He is as friendly as they come and made it his job to make sure that we knew our way around. He gave us a walking tour once we got settled in and showed us all the areas that we should visit. Couple this with the map and list of hot spots he supplied and you have the best host you could ask for. Location? Everyone else commented on that but let me just say that I agree. We were able to access everything on foot. All in all I would give the accommodations, the owner, and the location 5 stars and a 10 out 0f 10 at the same time. I hope this helps. ENJOY every minute in Prague and in the apartment.

This was my first time using VRBO and I was a little skeptical but the apartment was exactly as shown on the web site. Not only was the apartment great but the owner was also. He has done everything he could to make sure we had a good visit. My daughter is coming back in a few weeks and plans to stay in the apartment if it is available I feel we not only found a place to stay but found a friend as well.

This was a great place to stay in Prague. Jeff was very helpful, and has written information in the apt that is helpful. The apt. has all the conveniences of home and was very comfortable for our family. We would definitely stay here again. We had no complaints.

All I can say is that this the one of the best places I have ever stayed in. I travel over 200 days a year and have been to Prague before and stayed at the Marriott. Nothing compares to the level of service, location, and the amenities that were included in this place.

This rental is just as it appears on the web site. It is very well located to walk to the Old Town, shops and Charles Bridge. The castle is just a couple of stops on the metro which was easy to use. The owner was most helpful and accommodating. The set up was perfect for two couples. We stayed 4 nights which was just right to see everything. One point to be aware of - most places only take crowns not Euros. The quote is in Euros but payment is in crowns. Would highly recommend this rental, it is a home away from home.

Loved Prague and loved the apartment. The city is small enough to walk everywhere and the apartment was a great sanctuary. It is perfectly located as it is near everything but not noisy at all. Coming from New York, we were pleasantly surprised by a few things. First, the owner was American so we did not have any communication problems and getting the keys and a lay of the land was easy. Second, the rooms were huge compared to what you would get in most cities and extremely well decorated. The master bedroom is very large and the whirlpool bath was amazing after a day of walking. We did not need the second bedroom or the smaller room with the bunk beds, but I am sure they would be great for a family. The living room and kitchen were beautiful. At night, we sat on the couch and had a glass of wine before dinner. In the morning, we sipped coffee and ate pastries at the small table next to the window. Overall, the apartment was a perfect 10. If this place were in New York, I would hate to think how much it would cost to rent. Luckily, it was in Prague and I look forward to returning often.

This is my fifth trip to Prague but the first time that I have used LUXURIOUS-ACCOMMODATIONS and I must say that everything here is done first class,much better than all the rest. The owner was most helpful in getting this beautiful--exactly as show on the web-- apartment for me. It was a great stay. I will use LA again for my future stays here. I also appreciated his tour of the town and advice on restaurants. Just great.

We spent a weekend in Prague in April, 2008 and opted to stay at this apartment rather than one of the five-star hotels in the area. What a great decision! The owner could not have been more accommodating. He met us at the apartment when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to know. He even took us on a tour of the city. Talk about personal service! The apartment is first-class all the way. The master bedroom is very large with a walk-in closet and a master bath that is bigger than many standard hotel rooms. The second bedroom is also quite large and comfortable, so if you splitting the rent, it is still equitable. The third bedroom has bunk beds so staying here with kids is easy. And with the Sony Play Station, they may never want to leave. The apartment has a great living room and kitchen and is decorated extremely tastefully. There is even a clothes washer and dryer so if you are in Prague for a while, it could be a great longer-term apartment. The location was also ideal. It is within walking distance of some great restaurants and a brand new mall. It is also just a five minute walk to the river and Old Town which was perfect since we wanted to have access to that area but did not want to hear the noise all night long. Given we travel as a family, we have always opted for apartments rather than hotels. And out of all the places we have stayed, this is by far the nicest. Whether you are visiting Prague on your own and want some great space, with a friend and need two good-sized rooms, or bringing the kids, this place is a no-brainer. Many other places we checked out in Prague are referred to as luxury apartments. This is the real deal.
