Dominika and her partner were excellent landlords—considerate, communicative and responsive—and the apartment was very comfortable and well located. It was perfect for a one-month stay for one person—for two people it might have been a bit small for that amount of time, given that the lounging area and sleeping area were in the same room. The three flights of stairs helped keep me fit, and the courtyard-facing windows helped me get a good night's sleep!
Neighborhood
The apartment is right on the border between Malá Strana and Smichov; on the Malá Strana side, the businesses tend to be oriented toward tourists, while on the Smichov side they're oriented more toward locals. Smichov isn't the most hip or elegant neighborhood in Prague, but it hosts a huge mall (Novy Smichov) and plenty of good pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. Access to the rest of Prague by tram is super-convenient from the apartment.
Recommended places nearby
I was in Prague for a teaching gig, and when I wanted to get out of the apartment to do some thinking or writing I chose from among these three cafés in Malá Strana, all of which maintain a low-key vibe and serve at least as many locals as visitors. Don't expect obsequious or super-efficient service at any of them—just enjoy the chill humanity of the staff.
Skautský institut v Rybárně: counter service, a semi-hidden, shaded riverside garden, and the best beer in the world (Únětické pivo 10°). Great for people-watching on a summer afternoon. The first building on your right as you enter the Kampa park.
Kavárna Mlýnská: full service bar/cafe with coffee, simple (and delicious) light meals, lots of space—thought it fills up with locals on weekend evenings. Just opposite the Skautský institut on Kampa.
Dobrá trafika na Újezdě: tobacconist, newstand, gift shop and bar/cafe, all in one. Pass through the shop to get to the cafe, enjoy a drink and a smoke in the garden while you work, grab your slip on the way out and pay at the register in the shop. This place hasn't changed in a long time, and I hope it never will.
