White room in Prague 5

Thanks again to Iva who is a very kind, helpful, and understanding person! She was always able to answer my questions whenever I needed. We also had the chance to chat several times about various topics, and she also recommended some nice places to visit.


I stayed here for about three months, and everything went very well. The room is spacious and offers plenty of storage, which is very convenient. The window is also great, overlooking the street below and filling the room with beautiful sunlight in the morning and natural light throughout the day. In my opinion, this is the quietest room because it is located near the bathroom (unlike the room with the balcony, which faces the kitchen) and is only adjacent to one other bedroom, which helps limit potential noise from the other roommates, since all four bedrooms are aligned.


Overall, the apartment has everything you need (including an iron, ironing board, drying rack, pans and pots, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, wifi, etc.). A minor issue I would mention is that some of the provided items or utensils can be a bit dated, but my roommates and I mentioned this to Iva, and she gradually replaced some of them! Also the kitchen is quite small and there is no living room. There is shared storage space in the kitchen, each person has their own shelf in the fridge, and the freezer is shared.


The apartment is easy to access, and there is an elevator available. The city center is about a 30 minute tram ride away, with the nearest stop, Sídliště Barrandov, just a 3 minute walk across the main square. Trams and buses also run at night, making it easy to get home even after midnight.


Finally, I think each person’s experience may vary depending on the roommates at the time. I mostly shared the apartment with students my age, and everyone was friendly, clean, and calm, which was great. The building itself is very quiet, although the bedroom walls can be a bit thin, but this didn’t bother me much personally.

Bairro
The neighborhood is calm and peaceful, with no trouble. There is a big square where children often play, and where parents or elderly people gather and chat. The tram stop is located just down below.

On the main square, there are two grocery stores, Potraviny and Albert (the one where I used to shop regularly). Both are just a 1 minute walk from the apartment, which is very convenient. There are also a few restaurants, but I personally only tried Pho Viet, which was okay and offered generous portions of food. I would also recommend U Mamlasů Praha Anděl, located opposite the Anděl tram stop, which serves delicious dishes, both traditional and not traditional (the slow-roasted pork ribs with honey-garlic sauce were exceptional)!

Otherwise, I suggest looking into things to do around the city. There are many beautiful places to see, even for free. Visit the various parks in Prague, they are big, full of trees and flowers, and sometimes home to animals, such as peacocks, owls, and nutrias :)

Average experience, surely way too expensive for what is given.
More than €800 for a room in a shared apartment with 3 other people, with just one bathroom, 30 minutes away from the city centre (by public transport), is not worth it.
Additionally, the kitchen is cluttered with unnecessary junk that should be stored elsewhere. With "junk" I mean piles of wooden panels stored even under the kitchen table. The pictures in the listing, obviously, do not show that.
As for the check-in, the owner wasn't there, which is totally fine, but what isn't is that the person she charged with handing me the keys came two hours late, never answered my phone calls and showed me my room still messy.
Clearly, not everything is bad; the room was well equipped with furniture and comfortable. The owner recently replaced the old kitchen furniture; now the fridge is bigger and has freezer storage for everybody.
The neighbourhood isn't touristy at all, so no noise during the night and quite well equipped with supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries and a swimming pool nearby.

Not touristy at all, chill, no noise during the night and quite well equipped with supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries and a swimming pool nearby.

I stayed in Iva's accommodation for 2 months.
The room was spacious and the accommodation quite functional.
The flat has excellent transport links (bus and tram nearby).
Iva is very responsive and is there if you need her.

Iva is very kind and always available

Bairro
It's a very safe neighborhood with all the necessary amenities close by. It's a residential area. Very quiet with lots of parks and green areas ideal for jogging or biking or just for taking a walk.

The parks are great and the Vietnamese restaurant has very good food for good prices.

Apartment quiet and well placed (shops nearby) and usually clean. Well equipped but the layout of my room needs to be redone (paint, curtains and especially carpet). The bed base can also be consolidated. A very good stay despite that. THANKS

Very quiet with frequent transport (tramway, bus).
