Why the Owner Chose Budapest

The apartment is meant to be a place for visiting family to stay when they come to visit. We chose this apartment because we couldn't resist its fantastic location, the gorgeous (and quiet!) early 20th century building, and the cozy apartment itself, which has high ceilings, original parquet floors, and elegantly tall windows and doors.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

Location, location, location! The apartment is situated just below the Castle district, and practically next to the Danube and the Chain Bridge. Seeing that gorgeous Danube panorama (one of Budapest's highlights) every time you walk back to the apartment is a magical feeling. And, the apartment is so ideally located that taking public transport is hardly necessary. Morning or evening walks along the Danube promenade are a must!

A
Buda Castle District

Just a short walk from the apartment!

B
Chain Bridge

The city's most beautiful bridge...Pest is just a short walk away!

 

Owner's Map of Budapest

Carolyn (originally from Washington, DC) and Gábor (originally from Northern Hungary) fell in love with this pretty and historic neighborhood in Budapest when they moved here a few years ago. They even got married at a nearby church, and their two daughters now play at the several playgrounds in this family-friendly neighborhood. Carolyn and Gábor still live nearby, and are easily available to guests who have questions or need advice on what to do and see in Budapest. In fact, they can be excellent resources to their guests. Carolyn, a food and travel journalist who has authored two culinary guidebooks to the city, can tell guests the best places to dine and drink. And Gábor, a Hungarian translator and interpreter, can help with the intricacies of the language. Together they also operate a boutique culinary tourism company, Taste Hungary (www.tastehungary.com). They are sure that after a stay in this lovely, classic Budapest apartment, you'll fall in love with the neighborhood just as they have.

    • We truly enjoyed our visit to this apartment. It was in a central location, very clean and had some very handy amenities (washing machine, lots of dishes and cooking supplies in the kitchen). Carolyn and her husband were very friendly and helpful. We would definately stay here again.

    • We loved our stay in the apartment and would highly recommend it. It is spacious, safe, and clean, and has a fully-equipped kitchen. Carolyn has a copy of her food and wine guide in the apartment, which is amazing and also highly recommended. We will be recommending the apartment to anyone we know that plans on traveling to Budapest!

    • We loved our stay in this apartment. It was located in the most perfect neighborhood in the midst of major sights, steps from a wonderful Tram line as well as other transportation hubs, markets and restaurants. The neighborhood itself was an adventure just to wander it's streets and staircases. The apartment's courtyard is a tranquil little oasis. Once inside you would have no idea that just outside your doorstep the entire exciting city is bustling. Carolyn and Gabor provided us invaluable information about the area and greater city. We would rate our stay here a perfect 10.

    • We stayed in the apartment in May 2009 for 3 nights. The apartment was great for our family of 4 with two smaller kids. Carolyn was a fantastic resource and she pointed us towards the better markets and restaurants for some fabulous meals and wine. The apartment is very quiet and in a good location, we walked to almost all of the major sights. Budapest is a great city to visit, reasonable prices, honest,friendly people and beautiful places to visit; a real hi-light of our 5 week 12 country driving trip. We would stay here again if the opportunity arose.

    • The flat is charming and recently renovated. The area is very peaceful. The owners are very helpful and as we stayed there for the few days around our wedding in Budapest, this was very much appreciated. If you're a couple looking for a lovely place to stay, no doubt, this is it!!

    • Wonderful place to stay alone or with family and children! We had a great experience and the apartment had beautiful new renovations with all necessities to stay at home and eat. We were walking distance to many of the sights in Buda and could easily walk across the bridge. Quiet residence. I would recommend this to everyone and will be visiting again!
