About this property

Budapest: Beautiful flat with fire-place and balcony ! Romantic and historic

For a short holiday , a weekend trip to Budapest or maybe a longer vacation, we can offer you this exceptional holiday apartment in the heart of Budapest. It is for rent all year long. This beautiful apartment is a part of what was originally the building owner's home and has miraculously retained most of the original features dating back to 1898, date of completion of the house. It is composed of 2 very large rooms (over 40 m2 each) , one a bedroom and the other the living-room. The 14 feet high ceilings with wonderful stucco, the period stained-glass windows by Miksa Roth, leading artist of the time, the fantastic onyx fireplace, the gilded wood-paneling and an ornate venetian mirror all contribute to making a stay here a special experience, allowing to enjoy a feel of the past and the comfort of today.

- . The decoration is stylish and soothing, in soft tones of yellow and brown.
- The living-room, which faces south, opens onto a nice balcony equipped with a table and chairs, from where you can watch the world go by on the square and park downstairs. The apartment is on the first floor of a beautifully ornate, if somewhat run-down 3 floor house equipped with an elevator. It can sleep up to 6 people: 1 double bed, 3 single beds and a comfortable mattress on the floor.

Charming Budapest
We found the rental to be as advertised. The apartment is a quintessential European urban apartment strategically located and proximate to the Metro, market and other amenities. The host is efficient and timely in her responses and the information provided was accurate and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Budapest Vacation
We had a great visit in Budapest for 4 days. This apartment was very comfortable and close to the public transportation by Tram and subway train. This place was located a short 15-20 minute walk to the Jewish quarter and other places such as the Music Academy and Opera. Great historical building to stay in as it was built in 1896 and is a very unique place. We loved interacting with the owner as she was so very gracious and kind to both of us. Her neighbor was also very helpful and her recommendations for Taxi support was also excellent. We loved staying here for these few days in April 2024.

Fantastic Spot in Budapest!
We absolutely adored this flat! The property owner was a pleasure to communicate with and incredibly helpful with every step of our trip. The place itself is gorgeous and includes easy access to public transportation. We would not hesitate in the slightest to book this location again if we return to Budapest. Thanks!

Perfekt
Eine unglaublich schöne und eindrucksvolle Wohnung. Man fühlt sich in eine andere Zeit versetzt. Die Küche war wirklich mit allem und viel mehr ausgestattet. Wir hatten zum Glück wunderbares Wetter, so dass wir in den "Wanderpausen" den Balkon nutzen konnten. Die Verkehrsanbindung ist nicht zu toppen, Metro und Straßenbahn direkt vor der Haustür. Zum Einkaufen bietet sich die Markthalke an, in die man quasi hineinfällt. Leider haben wir zu spät entdeckt, dass man sich dort sehr leckeren Wein zu einem günstigen Preis abfüllen lassen kann. Die Kommunikation mit Eliane war unkompliziert und herzlich, die Regelungen zum Ein- und Auschecken mehr als großzügig. VIELEN DANK!

Grand historic apartment: well-equipped and clean
This beautiful, spacious, sparkling clean, and well-located apartment offered a magical stay. If you appreciate historic charm, you will absolutely love this place. It is really special (the owner can even provide you with its interesting history). The stained glass and the fireplace are just a couple of the amazing touches you'll find here. It is even prettier in person than in the listing pictures. The apartment is not only charming, but is extremely functional. First, of all, it is quite spacious and has a very well-equipped kitchen. The shower and bathtub has plenty of hot water. The clothes washer also has a drying function which is really useful. The apartment is located on a quiet square, but you are within a 5 minute walk to several public transit options. You can also walk just a few minutes and be in a lively university area. There are a couple of markets in just a few minutes from the apartment. I have stayed in many rentals over the years and in lots of different countries--this one is in the top five! You should know that this is an historic apartment so if you are looking for a place with modern finishes and unblemished (boring) public spaces, it may not be for you. But if you appreciate a place that has character and reflects its history, then you will be thrilled with this rental. I do want to reiterate that the apartment was super clean. The owner was highly communicative and helped arrange a wonderful taxi service to and from the airport. When I return to Budapest, I will definitely seek out this apartment. Don't hesitate, rent this apartment if it is available!

Wunderbarer Ort in perfekter Lage
Die Wohnung hat uns im kalten November mit freundlicher Wärme aus einem prachtvollen Kamin empfangen - wir haben uns in den grosszügigen Räumen mit den historischen Möbeln sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Als Ausgangspunkt für unsere Erkundungstouren in alle Richtungen hervorragend gelegen an Metro und Strassenbahn. Die Kommunikation mit unserer Gastgeberin (die wir nicht persönlich kennen gelernt haben) war sehr nett und hilfreich. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Amazing!!
What an incredible place!! With the 12' ceilings, the beautiful woodwork, the stained glass windows and the boho decor, we felt like we entered the wrong place. We had to check the address again. We also found the bar on the corner that had great hungarian food and drinks. We would definitely stay there again.

Békebeli hangulat
Az 1800-as évek végén épült házban lévö lakásnak történelmi atmoszférája magával ragadó, amit lakásról készült fotók hüen tükröznek. A szomszédos lakás szintén a függöfolyosóról nyílik és valószínüleg a két lakás eredetileg összetartozott, s a köztük lévö válaszfal vékony, így a hangszigetelése nem nagy. Mi csak egyszer találkoztunk ezzel a problémával, egy délután, a nappaliban ülve, amikor a Bella ciao partizándal harsogott a szomszédból. A lakás központi elhelyezkedése miatt akár gyalog, akár tömegközlekedéssel könnyen elérhetö sok izgalmas budapesti látnivaló. Az érdekességekröl való tájékozódást angol és francia nyelvü kiadványok is segítik. Eliane figyelmessége mindenre kiterjed. Sokat utazunk Európában, de ilyen gondos fogadtatással még máshol nem volt részünk.

The apartment needs a lot of maintenance, the balcony doors you can see through the cracks on them, the windows need major care, latches that don't work, the stairs up to the apartment were in the dark as we did not know about how turn the lights on,

Absolute gem!
Eliane’s apartment exceeded our expectations!! The apartment itself is exquisitely grand…almost like you are living in a golden era! The location is beyond fantastic, a market that contains a bakery, butcher, fresh vegetable and the best part…wine by the liter from a draft, is literally across the street. Two fantastic restaurants are within steps and the metro station is across the street. The balcony was lovely to sit on in the morning for coffee and the evening for a glass of wine. I would recommend contacting the neighbor, Miklos who gave us a delightful walking tour of Budapest with a locals perspective. We will definitely book this lovely apartment in the future!!

Authentic Budapest Apartment
This apartment is truly authentic in style to late 19th century early 20th century apartments in Budapest. Everything from the floors to the doors to the shutters are of that era and everything has a grand feel to it. The massive rooms and doors give the sense of royalty and you can feel the long history of the apartment. Otherwise the apartment was always warm (written in December) and the furniture is very comfortable. The kitchen was well furnished, clean, and comfortable. Neighbor is very friendly, as is also Eliane, who was always happy to help and was very quick to respond to questions. Location is great, the metro and tram are right there, and even with lots and lots of luggage, not a struggle to come and go.

Perfect location and exerience for our stay in Budapest
We loved staying here . There was plenty of space ,it was comfortable and had a lovely shabby chic atmosphere. Often you can stay in sterile ubiquitous accommodation that give you no essence of the country you are in . Not so with this flat. There is a large well-equipped kitchen. The living space is large with high ceilings and we really enjoyed coming back in the evening and having the fire . It was definitely a place which was lovely to come back to and relax . The location is fantastic, literally outside the door there is a large undercover market in the square with vegetables , meat and local produce and also a small supermarket. There are several bars and bistros and tavernas and a pharmacy lining the square . There is a metro and tram right outside the door and its all within 20minutes -30minutes walk to central town and the Danube . It could not have been easier. Eliane provided extensive information about where to go and what to do and see and how to get there .We came to visit our daughter who has been studying at Budapest university and so it's not our first time in the city but really rated the experience and convenience and service given here ,thank you ,would recommend
