Our Flat

I've had a couple people ask for pictures of our flat (ok, my mom asked for pictures). This is our third flat since we moved to Prague in April and I have to say, it is a huge upgrade from our last one. Seriously, that place was undoubtedly haunted and had a bum living in it. 

We live right in the center of Prague; close enough to all the action, but far enough from all the touristy congestion. There's a tram and a metro line about 2-3 min from our door so getting from place to place is very convenient. It's also a 5 minute walk from the Palladium, an enormous 5 story mall that makes me feel right at home. There are 4 rooms (including ours) and 2 bathrooms. We currently have 2 other people living with us: a British girl and a Korean girl. I think someone else is moving in to the spare room soon.

Now for the pictures!

The front door

The entryway to our building. The door to the left is a mini mart - super convenient.

The courtyard

The stairs leading up to our flat - we live on the 1st floor (or what would be called the 2nd floor in the States)

The first door we have to go through. You can see that I was not the one to take this picture ;)

We "share" a balcony with a couple Czech women. One of them is super sweet (and gave us a ton of fruit yesterday) and the other has screamed at us multiple times (in Czech of course) about... I don't know what. I really wish I knew what she was saying because I have the feeling it is an easily resolved issue.

The entryway to our flat. I'm not really sure what to call this area before the kitchen?

A glimpse into our room. All the furniture was here already.

To the left, we store... pretty much anything. Tea, oranges, keys, phones, etc. Oh, and Zach's basketball. 

The desk which I have completely transformed into my battlestation. To the left there are some built in bookshelves.

A closer look at all my products. I will likely be doing a separate post about storage and whatnot. 

A bad picture of our closet. It's a pretty big walk-in closet with plenty of room for all our stuff. The spare mattress is awkwardly stashed in here because there's really no where else for it. It's nice to have it though for when people come to visit.  

One of the windows

The "view" outside the window

Here you can see that our bed is lofted. I hated this at first. My hatred has subsided into apathy now. There is a TV up there that we can only watch DVDs on (and we have only one - You've Got Mail)

Our pathetic living room area. I have no idea what to do with that awful chair in the corner. It came with the room so I feel bad throwing it away but it is just the worst. I threw a down comforter over the black couch because the amount of visible dust and dirt it attracted was vile. Also, the primary colors make me nauseated. I don't like this area of the room very much, can you tell? 

Our bed. Guess who sleeps closest to the railing? One hint: NOT ME!

A birds-eye view of the room

There are definitely pros and cons to this room but the location outweighs all the cons for me. I hope you enjoyed it! :)
