The apartment was not the one to book, it smelled like a mortuary room and you didn't have to be thick to get into the bathroom. Indeed it does not fully open it is blocked by the bed which itself is blocked by the bedside table which is glued to the radiator. Don't be fooled when he says flat screen he is talking about a smaller screen than a computer. I did not stay, but I still emphasize that the person I spoke to on the phone when at the apartment was very friendly and really tried to help me.

Very comfortable and inexpensive. Well located and spacious. For a weekend in this beautiful city I highly recommend it.

The location is unbeatable. The facilities somewhat dirty and does not smell too good. During the day the area is very quiet and pleasant. At night it is not possible to rest due to the excessive noise of the bars.

It's very beautiful, but it's very noisy. Beside it there is a bar which is a bit creepy, there is people that look like aee doing bad things. Also in the mornings 30 trash trucks come and make a loud song of working.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
