Om ni planerar att stanna i Prag en längre period, är holiday sviter en av möjligheterna. Om ni stannar en månad, så kan ni få en rabatt 15-30% av den dagliga avgiften. En annan möjlighet är att hyra en möblerad lägenhet. En nackdel vid den här varianten är att man är tvungen att teckna ett kontrakt och betala en deposition som man sedan får tillbaka. En kortvarig uthyrning av lägenheten är i regel möjligt vid tecknande av kontrakt för minimalt tre månader. Hyresvärden och mäklarna är ibland beredda att hyra ut lägenheten även för en kortare period. Vid långvariga uthyrningar tecknar på kontrakt för 6 till 12 månader.
Look for ads in newspapers (Annonce.cz is largest catalogue of classified listings but only in Czech), contact real estate agencies and special agencies offering serviced apartments for long term rentals. You should keep in mind location, transport costs and how long you wish to stay when choosing somewhere to live. Rents vary depending on proximity to the center and whether the flat is furnished or not. A furnished apartment with room, bathroom, living room and kitchen usually costs around 13.000 CZK a month outside of the city centre. If you want to live in the centre then you will probably have to pay double this, around 30.000 CZK. With serviced apartments you can stay for a shorter term, based on daily, weekly or monthly rates. If you wish to rent an apartment from a real estate agency then you will need to sign for a lease of at least for 3 or 6 months and pay an agency fee (usually one month’s rent), plus 1 or 2 months deposit. If renting from a private person you will only need to pay a deposit. If you are staying for at least three months then this would be the best option as it is much cheaper, prices will be around 30 to 40 percent lower compared to staying in serviced sort term apartments.
