The house was nice and in spacious grounds with fruit trees. The property had lots of plus sides but also some negatives.
The most problematic issues we had were:
1. Only two rings on the hob worked making it difficult to cook and prolonged cooking time for our family.
2. The electric tripped twice probably due to the issue with the broken hob ring.
3. The location is 30 minutes to anywhere so a little remote- but this might suit some.
4. Constant flies in the house made it unbearable to stay - we couldn’t leave the door open as hundreds would come in. The kitchen door also had a big gap so they would still enter when the doors were closed. We left early due to this reason.

On the plus side, there is a lovely walk to a lake nearby, a great restaurant on the main road just metres away. We enjoyed seeing the goats herded everyday and collecting oranges and avocados from the trees.

Really great location, excellent services provided like free coffee and weekly cleaning. A bit on the expensive side with all the flatio fees.

Great location. The apartment has some wear and tear; it is not as mint as the photos show.

Everything is as described. Two things worth mentioning - there are no insect nets on the windows, only one badly attached- holes, not tight. And its hot there during summer, windows must be open. And the flat is on 3rd floor with no elevator, so smokers - be aware. Besides that all good.

Très bon échange avec Jana. Logement très propre et très bien équipé. Petit bémol sur l’isolation.

The management are nice and decent people so I'll try to be as honest as possible here. This can definitely be a very good coliving but as the house in general is great, but mgmt needs to fix some mistakes they have been doing.

They should be honest with the room descriptions (my room had very thin walls so it was hard to sleep at night), some facilities like table tennis table were not available, there was mention of bikes to rent but they didn't exist. The management really should pre-screen the renters as my experience for the past 2 months is that this was more of a hostel rather than co-living, leading to a less than ideal atmosphere.

All in all it was good experience still and the mistakes can be easily fixed so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt :)

The appartement was not really clean, but it was more the fault of the other tenants. Communication with the landloard was good tho

We recently stayed in an apartment in Prague 2 for two months, and overall, it was a good experience with a few notable points.

Location: The apartment is very well located in Prague 2, within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions in Prague.

Accommodation: The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, although basic. It was indicated that there was an air conditioner, but we had to request one to get it. As for cleanliness, we could borrow a broom and a mop from the basement, as there is not one per apartment. The beds are comfortable, but no more than that (firm mattresses), and the pillows are not very comfortable (too large for the small pillowcases). There are two bars nearby that can be noisy until late at night.

Kitchen: Despite the listing stating that the apartment is suitable for long-term rentals, the kitchen was very basic. For example, the counter is small and too low, there was a small oven and a very small refrigerator (which we found disappointing as we partly rented the apartment for that, with the listing images showing a large fridge). Additionally, basic kitchen accessories were missing (kitchen knife, steak knife, dish towels, dish rack, broom, salad bowl, etc.). What we found regrettable was that the owner had assured us that everything necessary for a long-term stay would be provided, but we had to request several items, and others we simply bought ourselves.

Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi was unstable, which could be frustrating and made remote work impossible.

Service: The owner was very kind and quickly available via WhatsApp, which was greatly appreciated.

This apartment is in Atlantic gardens beach hotel. This info was not included in the directions we were given, which explicitly pinned a completely different complex further up the road. We spent over an hour searching for the place because of this.

The aparatment is much bigger than how it looks from the pictures and the view is breathtaking, they have really good wi-fi for remote work and good ammenities such as pool, service desk..

However, a lot of things were lacking for long term stays. There were only one set of sheets, kitchen was not very well equiped. The floors were very dirty when we got there, and the couch is filthy, it needs a deep cleaning, so we were avoiding using it. The whole place looks a bit run down, which is not something to complain about but the price for that is not justifiable. For a lower price it would be fine, but with all the flaws it wasnt worth it, especially with so many better options for rent. The neighborhood opposite the ocean is pretty dingy, with trash containers that absolutely reeked of fish leftovers. The place is situated at the bottom of a huge hill, which requires walking up about 5 flights of stairs to go anywhere.

The beach however is really nice and the pool make this offer more appealing. We are planning to come back for a full year, but in a different place.

A fine place, just maybe not for the price.

Very nice landlords, loved the communication but the apartment has zero sound isolation from the rest of the house where they live so you can hear everything when someone comes down or back home. Nice bed and kitchen, shower and restroom in general not so much - each time you take a shower the floor gets really wet and if you are 160+ cm shaving and using the mirror is a pain because you need to crouch + it's pretty dark even with all the lights on. Overall for short time rent good place but if you need something for long term you will get the feeling you're living in someones basement/room for a pretty hight price (with service fee I payed over 1300 euro for 31 day). Metro is 15-20 minutes walk, neighbourhood is let's say not the best but ok and even though there is a place you can do laundry nearby, again, it's just a pain to spent time and 10 euro each week additionally considering the price of the studio itself IMO. Owner said the main issue with sound isolation from rest of the house is something they plan to fix but until then it is what it is.

A pesar de la buena comunicación con Maria, creo que se aferró a un comentario negativo que ya teníamos para calmar su enfado ya que dejamos el apartamento un día antes sin previo aviso.
Dejamos las ventanas abiertas para airear el apartamento, barrimos el suelo y dejamos todos los platos en el lavavajillas tal y como ella nos pidió. Además le pagamos 60€ para que una empresa limpiara el apartamento.
Aún así todo han sido quejas y todo le ha parecido mal.

Creo que esta señora tiene su apartamento en alta estima como para alquilarlo a extraños.

El apartamento es cómodo y está limpio, además está bien localizado. El único problema que hemos tenido es la insatisfacción sin sentido con Maria.

The flat was not entirely clean, the floor had not been swept and also it also requires a thorough scrubbing/washing. Certain areas of the flat have not been maintained (flaky walls, ceiling) and there is not sufficient light (natural - only one window or artificial - bad lighting). It also needs some serious decluttering as it has a lot of unneeded things, e.g. furniture, pots/pans, bags. Instead some basics were missing, e.g. wash-up liquid, bath towel. On the plus side the location is excellent and the flat could be very nice with some TLC, however not recommended at present state.

Apartment was clean and we were given a warm and friendly welcome by the owner. However, they didn't present any paperwork to us on arrival for us to check off per Flatio's recommendation.

We soon found the fibre internet connection was not as described and confirmed with the owner before we moved in, as 30MB/s i.e. 300Mbits speed. It was only 28Mbits down 16Mbits up, useless for our work involving AI and local LLM downloads. We couldn't even play two YT Premium videos simultaneously!

Unexpectedly, the owner was traveling abroad so we contacted MEO internet service provider who told us it was an old legacy service which could easily be upgraded for a few Euros pm with a phone call from owner only.

We messaged the Owner who replied she had had no complaints before and refused to upgrade even though it was only a few Euros to do so. We wasted 2 weeks work time finding an unlimited 5G SIM that worked. FYI there's only one, from NOS, which works at full speed truly unlimited.

Also, loud motorised lifting machinery arrived outside the apartment after a few days in the first week causing a lot of disruptive noise and vibration in the apartment. We reported this and sent a video of the equipment to the owner. She replied the work had not finished in May and it had to be completed sorry. This work continued for most of our stay. Loud workmen held a conference at 8am outside our bedroom most mornings.

Offering this apartment without warning of impending disruptive building work was very inconsiderate of potential tenants. We would not have rented this apartment had we known of either of the above.

In general the apartment is exactly how it looks on the pictures - it's a very small studio (about 20 sqm) but well equipped for its size.

What's not in the pictures is a smell - the apartment is located on a low first floor, right above an open basement.
That's why it is very humid and smelly, especially in a "corridor" near the entrance. No direct sights of mold though.
First days it was really hard to get used to it. Humidifier helped, but not that much.
The second half of my stay when rains finally stopped and the weather improved it became much better.

The Internet is ok. It is stable and enough for having video calls, but is quite slow in general: 15-20 MBit download, under 1 MBit upload (ADSL).
Windows face a small inner garden. Neighbours have tables and chairs there, during sunny days it's nice to sit there.
But during rains it's an extra source of wet, and every evening - insects.

The location is good. Both nearest metro stations are about 10 minutes by walk.
Tram stops are about 5 min and the trams are very convenient in Prague. Run according to a schedule and can get you directly to the center, Malostranka or Vysehrad.
Large mall with hypermarket and ice arena: 10-15 min by walk.
The rest you can see in the photos and judge yourself.

Overall, if not the smell, I would say the apartment is a good value for money - for summer time when it is not that wet.

Apartment as on the photo, spacious and with a separate office - workplace. Near the metro and shops.
Sara a wonderful and pleasant!
From minuses - the flat requires a normal general cleaning and work on getting rid of mould

Aunque el piso está decorado muy bonito, lo cierto es que es antiguo y se escucha todo, al menos en el cuarto en el que estuve. El fregadero de la cocina apesta, no sé si tiene humedad o que, pero había días que era insoportable. Supongo que el hecho de que viese a alguien del persoal de limpieza vaciar un cubo de basura de los que tenía debajo dentro de otra bolsa en la que echaban todos los residuos que separamos (chao reciclaje) no ayuda, porque esa bolsa se quedó ahí al menos una semana aunque se vació como tres veces al menos. Tampoco es que dispongamos de muchos productos de limpieza más allá de una aspiradora sin cepillo que se desmonta facilmente, supongo que para fomentar que contrates la limpieza extra, del mismo modo que te cambian las toallas una vez a la semana pero no las sábanas a no ser que pagues por este servicio. En definitiva, me esperaba algo mucho mejor, pero parece que es todo fachada. Por cierto, el ascensor estuvo averiado durante toda mi estancia, y a saber cuánto tiempo lleva así. Me hubiese gustado saberlo, ya que llegué muy cargada y contaba con al menos poder poner las maletas en el ascensor y no cargarlas dos largos pisos de escaleras.

So, the apartment is big, it was recently renovated. The location is perfect! WiFi speed was enough for two people for having video calls. It also has Landry room with a dryer.
But, they're also a downsides: don't expect much, as we did, since the apartment is partially a basement. But despite that, the apartment has its own entrance, which is plus!
Keep all of your food in the fridge, I'm not joking, ALL OF YOUR FOOD should be kept Ina fridge. Otherwise it will attract the cockroaches. Don't repeat our mistake, we had to kill tree of them, while we stayed for two week. and they're really big =)
Apartment also has constant smell of humidity. We also had a shortage of the garbage bags.
During two weeks, the cleaning was done only once: towels and sheets were replaced, but garbage wasn't thrown, and kitchen surfaces wasn't wiped.

The apartment is big and well-equipped for a long-stay, though there is no washing machine and the interior is a bit aged. Location directly on the strip is good for those who don't bother about the street noise. The building, however, is quite grubby and has apparently seen far better days. The host is responsive and very cooperative.
