It is not very difficult to ensure such accommodation in Prague, but the prices are significantly greater than the prices for dormitory style accommodation. A 3-room apartment (2 bedrooms and a kitchen) located in the centre of Prague will cost around 15 000 Kč/month. Accommodation outside of the city centre will be somewhat less expensive.
