I've been traveling across Europe for many, many weeks over the past couple of years, and Nosticova apartments is the best accommodation experience I've had. Start with location. It is on a very, very quiet street that is only minutes away from Charles Bridge, the hub of tourist activity. It is either minutes away from most tourist attractions by foot, or easily reachable by Metro (8 minute walk) or tram (3 minute walk). The apartment itself is fabulous. Four rooms! A large bedroom/living room combination with a large four-poster bed and a capacious dresser, two couches, and a full-length mirror. A separate kitchen with a stove, a refrigerator, a sink, and cupboards and drawers fill of cutlery and dishes and pots and pans. A large tiled bathroom with a deep tub with a shower and a large sink with plenty of counter space. And a foyer with a large wardrobe with a safe. All tastefully decorated. The best part - everything worked!!! Checking in and out is as simple as possible. You get a combination to the front door and to a box that holds the key cards. Enter, get the cards, you're done! For checkout, just reverse the process - leave the keycards in the box and close the door behind you! Their greatest asset is Petra, the manager. She's very responsive and incredibly helpful. Besides making sure I got in ok, she helped me find the local laundry, post office, and grocery store. She provided detailed instructions on how to use the trams and the Metro. She provided great recommendations for local cafes and restaurants. She gave me some advice every day I stayed...
Read moreWe stayed in Unit 503 on the top floor. Just a stunning place with open architectural beams, a grand piano (wish I played!), great dining and living room (with a pullout bed), a full kitchen, master bedroom and bath. It also has a powder room w/toilet and vanity. ||The rooms are REALLY BIG, and the master bath has a huge tub with hand shower. There are several mini-split AC units to keep the place comfortable (and this was NOT our experience with several other stays, including big hotels similarly priced). ||The building has a small elevator that will take you most of the way up. Be aware that the last flight is a spiral staircase, which adds to the character in my opinion.||Yes, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and beautiful, but let’s TALK ABOUT QUIET. For being right in town and close to so much great stuff, it is just SILENT up there. You will get a great night’s sleep!||We spent our last night in Prague there. We had our son who is studying there stay with us overnight and it was very comfortable for all of us and likely several more, but this would also be GREAT for a romantic stay for a couple. ||Definitely...
Read moreAbsolutely wonderful place to stay! We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment for an entire week, and the bedrooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. The big, tastefully decorated bathroom was also delightful. Self-check-in was as convenient as possible. The communal area of the building is dreamy – it almost felt like we'd entered another century! We truly appreciated all the attention to detail.
Petra, the lovely host, gave us a lot of helpful tips and recommended some nearby cafés, shops, and restaurants.
We loved the quiet street and the area in general – especially since Kampa Park is right around the corner. You can easily walk to some more touristy spots (like Charles Bridge and Little Prague Venice/Čertovka) in mere minutes, but there are also nice, peaceful spots and restaurants nearby.
I already miss waking up to autumn morning sunlight streaming through the branches of the beautiful tree outside the window! Dreaming of another visit to Nosticova...
