Manesova 86, Come In

Current Location: My Prague flat


A week in and it still blows my mind that I'm in Prague. This city is incredible. It's the perfect mixture of gothic, romanesque, baroque and communist styles. Prague has been virtually preserved 1000 years of history. I could not have asked for a better apartment or a better set of roommates. We live in the quiet and very beautiful neighborhood of Zizkov, which is in Prague 2. On our street, Manesova, we have a potraviny (convenience store), salon, multiple pubs, etc. At the end of the street, there is a square with a large church. A farmers market is also held here multilple times per week. Here is a mini tour through our apartment and neighborhood:

Apartment 15
Manesova
Front of our building
6th floor

Our living area is extremely spacious. Since we are on the top floor of our building, we have skylights that provide natural light and a great view of the rest of our neighborhood. A couple of things that differ from a typical apartment in the US: 

  • Our shower and toliet are in sperate rooms.
  • The clothes washer is the bathroom.
  • There is no clothes dryer, we have to hang dry everything.
  • No central AC ( Don't need it anyways, it's freezing.)
