The Flat

About our Praha flat: its a 110 m^2 flat on the third floor (without a lift) in a classic Prague style building. We're located a short distance north of the Vltava from the old city center. The flat has a large entryway with all rooms leading from this main room. I'm still not sure what exactly we do with this main entry area as its rather large. There is a living room, eat-in-kitchen and two bedrooms off the entry room, as well as two storage closets, the bath and the W.C. The main bedroom opens into the entry-way as well as the living room. The kitchen has a small balcony overlooking the garden and small area for parking behind the building. The floors are all nice hard-wood parquet floors and while the kitchen isn't new its relatively updated and in good shape.

Entering the main door to the building puts you really in the stone driveway as the main door is a small door cut into two larger doors that could open to let a car through. Through a doorway the stairs to our flat are wide, deep stone stairs that really make you feel like you're in a much older building.

The neighborhood is a quiet family-oriented area about half-way between the two nearest metro stops. So in about 3 minutes we could be on the metro and from there it's about 10 minutes to the old city center, which requires just another 1-2 minutes walk to the office. Below our building on the ground floor is a health food store and around the corner there are a few small shops: bakery, butcher, restaurant, fruit & vegetable stand and a small market. I'm excited to have these small little shops so close to explore and not always be shopping in a giant supermarket. I learned there is also a very well known children's theatre that does plays with marionettes; the kids will probably enjoy that.
