Great location, very quiet

We (Canadian couple, early 60s) rented an apartment (#5 in 8 Vlasska Street) for 10 days in April 2012. We cannot speak too highly of the company , the apartment or the location. The company responded within 24 hours to our initial booking enquiry (in flawless English), all our subsequent dealings with them were very professional and they delivered exactly what they promised. We took up their offer to be picked up at the station and taken to the apartment; Johanna was there waiting for us, provided much useful information and was very helpful - 12 Euros well spent.
The apartment was great, on the second floor (no elevator) in an 18th century building on a quiet narrow street below the Prague Castle. A comfortable bed, very nice and well equipped flat (no TV – but then, you have Prague for entertainment!), lovely 18th century (?) painted ceiling beams. They provided a mobile phone so we could make local calls and reach them in any emergency.
Great location, very quiet as this area is really one big cul-de-sac, so little traffic. Also, only 200 yards from the American Embassy, so high levels of security. Just down the street are several restaurants and cafés, a butcher, a greengrocer, a deli and a wine store and a bakery, and several late night mini-marts. Just a few minutes from St Nicholas Church (lovely concerts every evening), five minutes from the Charles Bridge and Malostranske Square (trams to the Castle and downtown), and a 15 – 20 minute walk up to the Castle – or better still, straight up Vlasska to the restaurant at the Strahov Monastery – great view over the city.
We will, certainly recommend this apartment and company to any of our friends visiting Prague.
