Comfortable Flat in Prague (District Letná - Praha 7), Czech Republic
We live in a beautiful residential part of Prague, which is located very central and still surounded by loads of greenery. You do not need any car to explore Prague´s sights from our flat - you need approx. 15 min. to get to Prague castle by tram and approx. 10 min. to the very heart of the Old town. The gallery of modern arts is located just in front of our flat. You can relax in two big parks or at the banks of river Vtava, in Zoo or botanical garden - all this is located in the immediate closeness (walking distance) to our flat. You can easily make trips to other well known places in Czech republic from Prague - it takes 2,5 hours by bus to get to world famous Cesky Krumlov or you can visit e.g. numerous castles (Karlstejn etc.).
Our flat (85 sq. m.) has been fully renovated and will be enjoyed at its best by a couple: it has two large rooms (one bedroom with a double queen-size bed and a living room) and a big kitchen with all equipment for cooking necessary. Preferring free spaces combined with modern design, we are trying to stay faithful to the functionalistic style of 1930's, in which the flat was built. All two walls of the living room are glassed-in (7 windows), the whole flat has 20 windows in total.
PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING AN EXCHANGE
We are very experienced and considerate travellers and we have done nearly 40 home exchanges using Intervac Home Exchange and other sites. We have invested a lot of time and efforts to make our appartment nice and cosy and to make all the appliances working and ready to use for our visitors. We expect that this will also be the case with our exchange partner's flat or house.
We always pay attention to absolute tidiness of our home and never leave it in any embarassing condition. We expect also our exchange partner to do so. If you feel too bohemian to clean your place before our visit and our place after your visit, please do not contact us for possible exchange. If, being in our appartment, you feel for some mysterious reason compelled to rearrange the furniture or place any other things elsewhere than they used to be, please always put everything back to its previous location before you leave.
We will change only with responsible, experienced and independent travellers who will treat our home as if it were theirs. We expect our exchange partner to take care of our flat and leave it in the same condition as it was before the exchange (the same can we, of course, guarantee for our part). We are offering our real home and would appreciate to spend the exchange also in a real house or appartment where real people live, not in some sterile secondary residence bought for profit. To make it short: we will change only with those who respect the basic idea that your exchange partners are not your travel guides who will organize every detail of your trip, and that your exchange partner's flat is not a hotel you pay for but his home. If you feel uncomfortable about this or you see things in other light (e.g. your primary goal is take all the advantages you can, offering, at the same time, as little as possible), please do not offer us exchange and do not contact us.

Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
We live in Letna neighborhood, one of the coolest and most sough after places to live in Prague according to many, but simple the best neighborhood according to us. It takes you 20 minutes walk to reach Obecni dum and Namesti Republiky, and 25 minutes walk to reach Prazsky hrad. The traffic knot Strossmayerovo namesti, with many trams going virtually in every direction, is about 400 m from our flat, and the metro C stop Vltavska is cca 500 m away. Two biggest parks in Prague, Letna park and Stromovka, are another few hundred meters away.

The apartment was superb. The location brilliant for the city. The communication with the hosts perfect with plenty of pre information and very helpful hints and advice. Everything perfect and very comfortable
Great guests, very considerate and responsive in their communication.
Petr made it very clear what he was looking for from an exchange and we were really pleased to visit and look after his flat. It is lovely and perfectly situated for exploring the city of Prague. It is very walkable but the public transport system is superb and very cheap. We had great communication from Petr and I recommend this exchange for anyone wanting a city break.
