Who lives here
Smíchov attracts students who fit its character. A neighbourhood that reads as riverside, modernised, mixed won't suit everyone. A student looking for a quiet, family oriented street will be unhappy in a nightlife heavy district, and vice versa. Read the room listing photos carefully and check Google Maps' Street View for any specific address before committing.
