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.
Quiet, a bit isolated. Slow-going construction nearby (not noisy).

The property might be a bit dated, but kept in a decent state & has a great location.
10 min walk to shopping mall, 5 min walk to tram and metro.
It’s further from public transportation. It’s a bit secluded, but only 10 min to 13 min walk there are 2 Metro stations, and 13 mi away is a mall and supermarket such as Albert, and Lidl.
If you run the stove and the washing machine at the same time, the main fuse pops.
No shower curtain, the joints between the tiles on the bathroom floor are missing and if you’ll be away for a few days, mushrooms grow out of it.
The entrance to the apartment looks like a dumpster, because of the construction at the front building.
Space provides a good night of sleep and plenty of kitchen space. Bathroom is compact, with good water pressure/temperature. Good amount of storage space and cleaning supplies.
Tram and bus are within close walking distance (metro is also within an extended walk) for good connection to the rest of the city. Good shopping (including a mall) and local cafes/food options in the area. Some interesting urban trails and nice parks provide some great local scenery worth taking time out to enjoy.
There are some important instructions for maintaining the space (especially with respect to moisture levels and electricity balance) that will be essential for keeping things in order. During the day, some construction work was happening nearby (I was often away so it did not bother me, even in the morning).
Pavlina is a kind, generous, and flexible host. Overall positive experience.
Non-touristy, very local and residential, quiet.
The neighbourhood is primarily locals.
The micro brewery pub next door is excellent.
However, it was suitable for stay
Quite
Restaurant Kyllián
The neighborhood is really quiet, calm and close to nature (park with a river next to the appartment).
I would recommend the little park to go for long walks or jogs along the river.
Bezproblémové
.....
The area is very quiet. The flat is on the groundfloor so it’s easy access but comes at expense of limited daylight in winter.
A bit gloomy, but when you get used to it it's cozy enough
The big mall nearby is pretty amazing
