I can highly recommend Rostislav's TipTopTravel apartment rental service. Here is the website (the website is also given in Mandrake's excellent list of suggestions for Prague):

Rostislav communicated accurately and promptly prior to my visit. He picked me up at the airport for a reasonable fee, and he gave me a bit of a tour of the old city on the way to the apartment. He took me to the currency exchange with the best rates in the city. He rented me a cell phone at below market rates. The apartment itself, for about $61 per day, was huge and clean. I did quite a bit of cooking there, and there was a nice little balcony in the back over an inner courtyard shared by the whole block. I was even able to hook into a wi-fi system from the kitchen of the apartment). The location was perfect, between Wencelaus Square and Peace Square (Namesti Maru, or something like that). Good restaurants and bars were readily available, and there were many privates and a few clubs within walking distance.
I really prefer an apartment to a hotel because I like the privacy: no one who checks out your lady guest. But I have had some trouble with apartments in the past, notably in Buenos Aires last summer when the guy did not show up to return my deposit. Rostislav shows up.
One last thing to tell you about this guy's sense of honesty. When he saw I had a lot of minutes left on the cell phone I had rented from him, he not only gave me a free ride to the airport but he insisted on giving me 100 crowns for the minutes. He did not have to do that.
Much thanks to Mandrake and BigDan for recommending TipTopTravel.
