What an amazing apartment! The entire experience was exactly as described in the listing, right down to the photographs showing exactly what the apartment was like.
First, Viktor communicated so well with us in planning for our trip. We were new to traveling in Budapest, so his warm welcome and encouragement helped us so much- right down to showing us where to park and helping us understand the currency and how to get tickets to the show at the castle we wanted to see! And did you know that Viktor can give you a tour of the city if you need him to?
And the apartment! Let me tell you, you cannot go wrong here! The interior design is so romantic and fun! And the owner thought of everything! We had a complete kitchen which allowed us to cook wonderful meals during the week. And when I needed help on some of those Hungarian recipes I wanted to try, there were all sorts of cookbooks and books on Hungarian culture in the apartment to help me!
The balcony off the kitchen should be mentioned more in the listing—we spent so much time out there on the summer evenings, enjoying the cool breeze and watching the bustle in the streets. It also made for cozy mornings, curling up with a hot coffee and watching the sun come up over the buildings. I loved the view of the rooftop terraces, ruin bars and apartment courtyards. This city is so fun to watch!
And the location – we could walk ANYWHERE in no time, and there are shops, salons, restaurants, groceries, historical sites, and taverns right on the same corner—no having to hunt places down at all!
Don’t be worried about having enough room in this apartment. My husband and I felt so blessed to have room to move about and have separate spaces in the apartment when we needed to let the other sleep or have time to read or relax. My grown son came to visit for a few days and we were able to close French doors between some of the rooms to create a space for us and a space for him.
The bath and toilet rooms in the apartment were so beautifully arranged and decorated. Taking showers and baths were a luxury after a day of site-seeing or a night of dinner and a show. And the bed is so comfortable! Waking up to those gorgeous tall windows and a view of the stone architecture across the street makes you feel so immersed in the city of Budapest. You’ll never want to leave!
Thank you, Viktor, for such a beautiful experience! We hope everyone who stays enjoys it as much as we did!
