This apartment was much bigger than I had anticipated, which was lovely! Everything was very clean and straightforward. It was easy to check in, and the tour around the apartment was helpful. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary cooking tools, and it even comes with a dishwasher!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice apartment away from the noise of the city, but within two blocks of a subway stop.

My wife and 20 year old daughter and I stayed a week and had a very good experience with the rental of Tad & Jana's flat. Tad was easy to communicate with and prompt in getting us our deposit back. The flat was roomy and comfortable, and it couldn't have been much easier to get around town from there. I particularly loved the local farmer's market that pops up in the nearby transit square on Saturdays- great sausages if you fry them up with fresh peppers and onions! Lots of local restaurants if you don't want to cook. If you want to stay in a Four Seasons Resort, this may not be for you; for my family at least, it was a wonderful flat.

Prague's best

We rented this apartment for 15 days in June and July. It is much more spacious than the pictures would suggest. We stayed there with our grown son and found it to be very comfortable for all. We will definitely want to stay there again if we return to Prague in the future. The neighborhood is very pleasant and convenient. Be sure to have breakfast at the French restaurant around the corner and dinner at Aromi a little over a block away. Consult the book prepared by the owners for other helpful suggestions about food and other aspects of your stay.

Very enjoyable and well located apartment

I agree with all the other positive comments left by other renters. The neighborhood is active yet offers a real oasis from the more busy Prague city life. It is very close to the subway which makes it convenient to get to almost anywhere within the city limits. Tad was wonderful at communications, setting up the arrival with the apartment manager. We enjoyed are stay very much. Lots of local small groceries and as mentioned, the farmers market is great. Our daughter had studied in Prague so she was a great guide, helping us use the metro system as we had no car for the 7 plus days we were in the city. The information at the apartment was a little dated, so just plan on checking things out yourself! Learn to say "dobrý den" which is a formal way of greeting folks and "de qwe" for thank you - goes a long way to get help.

We had a wonderful time in Prague. Walked many many steps, were enchanted with all the sights, loved your flat and found it to be perfect for our stay there. It was spacious and most comfortable. The location, as it was close to the Metro, made it easy to get around Prague. Martina was wonderful, going to the flat twice to accomodate our varied arrivals. Having her husband meet us at the airport was the frosting on the cake. Of course! we want to return and will no doubt seek to stay in your flat once again. Thanks again, Maribeth

A wonderful spring stay in Prague

This was an incredible find...a beautiful apartment, close enough to everything, *but far enough away from tourist noise and hustle-bustle* to enjoy the city as if you were a local resident...and isn't that what you're seeking when you travel - to live like the local people do? And what a city to live in for a week - WOW! The apartment on Polska Street in Vinohrady was spacious, quiet, very clean, and very comfortable. Save yourself some room in your bag and don't bring your heavy tour guides of Prague - this apartment has a number of recent copies of the best publishers of travel information. The kitchen was amazing - everything was there to make toast or a meal for 8. The windows in the back of the apartment open onto a green park, where all buildings share a common yard area - and it was always quiet. The bed was most comfortable, and there were plenty of outlets for all of the electronic gear you might bring. Those of you who use a CPAP machine at night will find a convenient outlet next to the bed. Flawless and quick connection to the Internet via Wi-Fi! Be sure to check that all of your devices - electric toothbrush, shaver, etc. can handle 220-240. If not (the only device I brought was a German electric toothbrush with no European voltage capacity !?) fear not...the apartment has a plug-in transformer that will allow you to safely power up your devices that can only handle 110-120. The living room was most comfortable and spacious, with an extra bed for afternoon naps. I found the peace and serenity in this room very conducive for composing music on my harp. There is a CD and DVD player, and an easy way to connect your iPods to speakers. A corner store is a block down the street, and a larger supermarket is perhaps a 3-5 minute walk. The Prague Metro - the stop is Jiriho z Podebrad - is a 2 block walk away, and there is a large lovely quiet park one block away. As you can see, I can't say enough kind things about this place - I discovered it on the Web, just as you have now. And I highly recommend it. I was able to pay in USD, conveniently through PayPal and avoided transaction fees that other rental services may charge. And the hostess of the apartment, Martina, was great - very friendly, very punctual to meet you at the apartment for the key drop-off and pickup. Overall, a lovely place and very easy to rent and to get to via public transport from the airport. Rent it now! =]

My husband and I spent almost 2 weeks here at the end of March. The apartment is spacious, lovely and very quiet and we'd definitely return. There was just something wonderfully charming about it that made us feel so comfortable and at home. And the neighborhood is great, not touristy yet close enough to walk to the old city. There are great restaurants and bars nearby. Two blocks away is a wonderful park with 2 different beer gardens and great views downtown. There's also an indoor pool here and several blocks in the opposite direction is a tennis bubble. Saturday mornings there's a farmers market one block away.

I stayed in this fabulous apartment in November and returned to Prague and stayed again for 12 nights from January 13th until 25th. Once again i was so please i stayed here. Truly a home from home. In November it was not particular cold in Prague and on this trip i have to say by Prague standards in January most of my trip it was not that cold. However it did tun cold for the last few days even having some lovely snow, I say lovely because Prague is even more beautiful covered in snow! My point about when its cold is that the apartment is so warm even with the heating on just low.Once again every thing worked perfectly including the suoer fast internet access. Thanks again for a wonderful stay and i hope to come back soon

I have been to Prague many times before as I have friends there. In fact I go around 5 times a year and have stayed in six different apartments . Well at last I have found the apartment which would be my 1st choice every time now!! The location is excellent with the metro and the trams no more than 3 minutes walk away. However you can easily walk to Wenceslas Square and to the old town. There are also plenty of nice reasonable price places to eat excellent food. There is also a bakery and several shops where you can get supplies for the fridge freezer in the apartment. As for the apartment itself well it is so much bigger then it looks in the photos and it really is a place you could call home from home.Every thing is there as described . The wifi internet is a must for me and it was super fast!! Only one thing for me which I found a little frustrating is that the tv and dvd player is in the bedroom and not the lounge . This is a shame because it would have been nice to have watched tv and some movies in the lounge rather than sitting on the bed. So its 9/10 instead of what would have been 10/10 but i really would highly recommend this apartment. In fact i am staying there again in January, i love the winter in Prague especially if there is snow, it is so beautiful

super appartement à Prague

Guest: Laurence (Nantes, France)
Date of Stay: 10/17/10 Review Submitted: 10/28/10

C’est un très bel appartement situé juste en dehors du quartier touristique. Le métro se trouve à 100 mètres, et il suffit de trois arrêts pour arriver en plein cœur de ville. Sinon, on est à 20 minutes à pied de la place Wenceslas. L’appartement en lui-même est spacieux, très bien aménagé et équipé : grande cuisine avec lave-vaisselle, grande chambre, grand séjour, salle de bain avec baignoire et lave-linge. Le tout sur parquet et meublé avec goût. En plus, le wifi fonctionne à merveille ! On avait un contacte (Martina) sur place en cas de pépin (nous n’en avons pas eu !). L’endroit est calme, et il y a un beau jardin derrière l’immeuble. Il y a de bons petits restaurants à deux pas, ainsi qu’une petite superette, une boulangerie et un marché le matin. Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances à Prague dans cet appartement. Un grand merci !

We had a fantastic stay in the apartment - spacious, nicely furnished and had a very comfortable and homey feel. Especially nice to look out to a park from the bedroom and kitchen windows. Location was ideal- no more than 5 minutes to the tram and metro and 15 minutes walk to New Town. Good to very good restaurants near by. Grocery and specialty food shops are close by. Neighborhood was quiet with a nice park. We highly recommend the apartment.

Date of Stay: 09/30/10 Review Submitted: 10/12/10

This was a great way to experience Prague - it is great to be out of the tourist jam in the center, but only a 5min (4 stops) ride from Old Town. Everything you need is within walking distance - markets, shops, bars/restaurants. Also, the area is very comfortable/safe - I didn't have any concerns. And there is a food market on Wed and Sat at the park that the metro station is in. The place is just as it looks online, it is spacious, comfortable and quiet (although a renovation was going on in the next building and there was some noise during day). I found it hard to leave the apartment - I just wanted to lounge because it was so comfy.

My husband and I, and our 6'4" 18 year old son had a wonderful experience renting this apartment. Had quick and easy email communication with Tad the owner, and Monika and Martina the local contacts. The apartment location is just minutes from the metro and just 10 minutes walk to Wenceslas Square. There are convenient groceries and good restaurants nearby, and a park a few blocks away that we used every day. The owners have provided a helpful information booklet with restaurant recommendations and important emergency numbers. Also, appreciated having wi-fi available. The apartment is spacious, and was clean and comfortable. Martina's kind husband Jan was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and took us back to the airport for our departure.

I won't repeat what others have said because this review would be too long. I agree with all the positives and don't think there are any negatives. I wrote a review after our stay (really long and detailed) but it got lost when I hit the send button so I will keep this short. Perfect, and one thing I particularly liked was that it was so easy to get in and out of (yet secure) You only had to go up one easy flight of stairs and the front door was not massive and complicated. The feeling and decor and spaciousness were wonderful and it was comfortably heated. Lovely and would go there again - in fact just about to book !!!

We have had a wonderful stay in this apartment. It is really nice, comfortable, spacious and quiet, and we must say that Martina, the manager, and her husband have been estremely helpful and charming. We have enjoyed Prague a lot and this partly has been due to the comfort of your apartment.

I had a fabulous stay in Prague, owing partly to these wonderful accommodations. The flat had everything I needed, and is located close to the metro. This particular Vinohrady neighborhood was charming and just far enough away from the mainstream tourist meccas to be a pleasant escape from that. Its proximity to Aromi, and excellent Italian restaurant, was a big plus! I would certainly stay here again.

My son and I have had a wonderful stay at Polska this summer. As someone who has grown up in Prague, I appreciated the excellent location, close to the Metro and tram stations, and basically in a walking distance to downtown Prague. The corner grocery store opens at 6:30AM every day, with wonderful fresh baked bread daily, and this really came in handy when we needed to get some fresh food early morning unable to sleep all jetlagged. The park Riegrovy Sady a block away has the most spectacular views of the Old Prague, as well as beautiful paths to walk, and of course couple of garden pubs with the refreshing Gambrinus beer.The apartment itself is specious, with just a few pieces of tasteful furniture. Kitchen and bedroom have windows to a very nice and quiet courtyard, were you can hang your laundry to dry if you wish, or just meditate under the tree. We have found my new home in Prague, and we don’t want to stay anywhere else next time we visit.

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect, two blocks from the excellent Prague Metro, an easy 10 minute walk to Wenceslas Square, and in a lovely area. We enjoyed going to the local grocery stores to get food for breakfast and exploring the local parks and interesting architecture. Importantly too, the area is very quiet, a welcome retreat each night from the hubub of the downtown area. Don't even think about staying in the center of the city! The apartment itself is warm, comfortable, and spacious with every amenity we needed (including WiFi access!) Importantly too, the attention from the hosts is the best we've ever had in our years of travel. Monika, the Prague person in charge of the apartment was helpful in orienting us to the place and also arranged for our taxi to the airport (make sure you get the right cab company in Prague or you'll need to take out a loan for the cab ride!). Tad, the co- owner, was continually helpful via e-mail before our trip. On every level this was the perfect place for our visit to this marvelous city.

Apartment was great. Lots of room and light, nicely equipped, and has great atmosphere of a city. The area is wonderful, we enjoyed walking around and the walk to the center of the city is indeed a short one and very enjoyable. The city is marvelous and we also went to Kutna Hora and Krivoklat. Amazing! Everything was just fantastic including the weather. Even when it was raining (one day) it just created natural feel of Europe. Monika (who looks after apartment) met us right at the entrance of the building when we arrived and showed us to the apartment. She also took care of calling a taxi cab for our trip back to the airport. The owners are very nice people and it was a real pleasure dealing with them. We are very impressed. BTW, the photographs of the apartment on the site do not do justice as the real thing is better than one can see on the pictures

We stayed in this great and very affordable apartment this month and found it accessible to all of the sites and in a very wonderful neighborhood. In addition, it was very close to good restaurants and the metro (which is extremely easy to use). The apartment was clean, big, and completely equipped. My daughter appreciated the cable tv with some English speaking channels and I appreciated the internet hook-up. The bedroom had a great view of lilacs in bloom. I would highly recommend this apartment.

The apartment is centrally and conveniently located. In fact it’s located in Prague’s upcoming and entertaining neighborhoods. I would definitely stay there again. And as stated in other guest comments, has all the amenities and comfort one would want. The apartment is one of the bigger ones I have rented from VRBO. The apartment is a real bargain considering how the US dollar is fairing in Europe these days and definitely enhanced my stay in Prague.

My wife and I spent two weeks in this awesome apartment for my 40th birthday in August and we could not have been happier. We have stayed in a number of other apartments around the world listed on VRBO, but this was by far our favorite. The apartment is spacious, warm and inviting and has all the amenities one could ever wish for. It was actually hard to get ourselves to leave some days. We are even hoping to come back and celebrate my wife's birthday in January!

I have stayed in this apartment on two different occasions. A wonderful apartment in the heart of a beautiful city. Not only was it comfortable and well appointed, the rental price was far better than paying for a hotel and having to eat out all of the time. If I have the opportunity to return to Prague, I hope the apartment is available.

This is a fabulous apartment. You'd pay thousands for an apartment like this in N.Y. or L.A. It's big and airy with garden views a really good vibe. It's decorated very tastefully and is well equipped with everything you might need. The area is fun too - lots of bars and restaurants to explore and its a short walk to the center - just don't exchange any $ on the street...
