Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Budapest
I grew up in Budapest. For that matter I grew up in this apartment building, built in the beginning of the last Century. I left Hungary a long time ago but I never gave up visiting my parent, my sister and other family members, and certainly did not give up on introducing Hungary to my kids. I kept flying back almost every year, and when this apartment right next door to my parents came up for sale I grabbed the opportunity to "own a piece" of the "Old Country". I love to take my kids to Budapest, and I would never choose an other location than this apartment. It is safe, quite, and close to everything without the hassle of the tourist traps, the noise and lack of transportation. Not at last this property is legal. It has been registered with the local authorities, so rest assured, we are paying taxes, and you are contributing to the local economy (as cheesy as it sounds.)
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Contrary to any advertising you will read, Budapest does not have a Downtown. It does have a tourist center with all the expensive stores, restaurants, and entertainment but the major attractions are scattered around the city, so if you are not keen to stay where all the tourists are staying, this is the place for you. The subway, streetcar, busses are two minutes away, and you can reach downtown by transportation or by walking. For that matter some of the museums, cafes, farmer market, and other attractions are closer or as easy to reach from here than from many of the properties that you can rent for more. The apartment is 2 blocks away from the New York Cafe (Bosco), 2 streetcar stops (or a short walk) from the Museum of Applied Arts, same distance to the Large Synagogue, the farmer's market is almost just across the street, fantastic restaurants, like Fulemule, just around the corner.....
Quaility 1 bdr, legal, tourist self-catering apartment in the Center of Budapest.

This is me, Eva with my two girls and with my adorable husband, who was a good sport, when I said "I thought we should buy an apartment in Budapest." Although he has said "I know I cannot win, I will either have to listen to you telling me what a great opportunity we passed on, or I have to listen to you telling me what a great idea this was..."

Cozy apartment within walking distance of all attractions

Review Submitted: 01/10/12
This apartment is located very centrally in Budapest, we walked to all of the major sights easily but if you prefer there are trams right outside the door and the metro is less than a block away. The apartment is equiped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The local hosts are more than happy to help you find your way about and point you in the right direction for supermarkets, restaurants etc. all of which are not more than a 5 minute walk away. The apartment building is on a busy street but once you enter through the large street door into the private courtyard you're in another world. The world famous New York Cafe is on this street and only about 500 yards away.
Owner response:THank you so very much for your review. I am so very glad that you enjoyed your stay. I hope when you return you will stay with us again! ;o)

My son and I stayed here, and could not have been more comfortable. Facing the courtyard, this is a very tranquil space, and feels very safe and secure. In addition, hosts Gyorgy and Iren are right next door, and could not be more helpful. The apartment has a very nice design, and is immaculately clean, everything in perfect repair. Also, the location was very good, with excellent access to trams and metro. We would definately stay here again if we ever return to Budapest.
Owner response:Thank you so very much for your nice comments. It was a delight to have you as out guest, and hope you will return some day! Eva, Iren and Gyorgy

My husband and I spent the week around New Years in this great apartment. Everything was as promised in the unit which was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owner was terrific to work with and even gave us suggestions for what to do on New Years eve. The owner's father who is in the same building was a great help with directions and calling for taxis. The location is perfect. Everything in the city is easily accessible from nearby public transportation, no need to have a car. I highly recommend this unit to anyone. If we are ever in Budapest again we will certainly stay here again.
Owner response:Thank you so very much!!! I truly appreciate your feedback! Eva

Hello Eva,We are having the greatest time here. I wonder if we can extend our stay by one day. We've had plenty of langos and have been to the restaurant on the corner a couple of times. Great suggestions. We have been on the road and in 6 countries in the last 2 months, and there is no doubt that Hungarians are the most friendly, outgoing and fun people to be around. Thanks again,Lee

Dear Eva:Thank you for the wonderful rental. We enjoyed the apartment very much! It was wonderfully convenient for the metro and the tram service. The apartment building though on a main road was quiet for sleeping. The apartment had everything we needed to make it easier traveling with my son. We especially appreciated the washing machine! I would highly recommend your apartment to anyone thinking of visiting Budapest.
