Janos was a great host who gave us some useful tips on places to visit. The flat was clean, warm, quiet and comfortable. Very well located for seeing Budapests sights and for public transport. So pleased to have found this place.
Host is very responsive, I really liked the location and the place has a lot of character. Being in the old city was a fun experience ands so much neat stuff around
The accommodation is situated in a quiet neighbourhood and in a building likely dating from the early 1900s. The apartment was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the hosts were very responsive. Public transit and major tourist attractions were easily accessible.
Well located apartment authentic Budapest property near to transport , good local eating and drinking, and supermarkets Hosts very knowledgeable and welcoming always available would definitely recommend for couples

Initially the property was chosen for location and price. It is in an excellent location and very well priced. The kitchen and bathroom were well,equipped to meet our needs, including a washing machine. János was easy to communicate with, very obliging,friendly,responding to requests promptly. While a very homely atmosphere, a few simple improvements would make this property highly desirable.
We had a most wonderful time
The property was simple as described, in a wonderful location and managed by hosts dedicated to making your stay wonderful and unforgettable. Janos was a perfect tour guide imparting so much knowledge and history of his country. We left thoroughly fulfilled and with a beautiful new friend.
This apartment is a great place to stay when visiting Budapest. It is convenient location in a city/residential area, quiet, but with lots of shops and restaurants very close. The apartment is smallish, but very adequate, clean, comfortable, and gives a feeling of authenticity. We loved it. The hosts are very friendly and attentive. Janos took us on a fantastic 7 hour tour of both tourist sights and out of the way Budapest places. We recommend that highly. We also took advantage of the home cooked Hungarian feast, mainly prepared by Jozsef, which was wonderful. Just FYI, we were not aware that meal is served in your apartment, not theirs. It worked out well, though, and we had some great conversations.

Within 2 mins walk to the Danube and 4 mins walk to a major tram route. In a historic district that is very walkable. The apartment has pleasant historic character with minor inconvenience (bathroom door a little hard to close). Excellent for a long stay. You'll appreciate the neighborhood.
Excellent location. Very quiet and easy to reach the Inner City and the Buda Castle. It was nice to be so close to the Danube and the Parliament.
The apartment is very clean and well equipped. János and József are very warm and gracious hosts. They met us at the entrance and walked us through the building and the apartment. During our stay we had an opportunity to spend some time with János and József and had very interesting conversations. We had a great experience.
I love these old apartments where you get to live like you're a Hungarian with a 100 years of history behind you. Lots of cafes for breakfast with 2 mins, plus an excellent restaurant, trams within 2 mins. The city has a great tram and tube network, use the go budapest app to get a 72 hour run around ticket. Margaret bridge within two minutes great for an evening stroll. Hosts are really helpful and will personally meet you which is nice. Overall a great stay.
Well equipped kitchen, bathroom, comfortable bed, only minor point is there is probably not enough storage space for clothes for more than 2 people staying only 1-2 nights; I stayed 6 alone, was traveling for 2 weeks to 4 different cities for work and family reasons and there was just enough storage space to unpack my medium-large suitcase. I would highly recommend the property owner and manager - they provided good information and it is easy to use everything in the unit. Because it is 6th floor and generally elevator might not be reliable based on its age, I would not recommend the unit for people with less mobility.

Zelma as you realised and could enjoy , we have a 220cmx150cm red beautiful wardrobe with 25 hangers in the apartment and with shelves .
Also two lifts in this diplomatic famous Palatinus Palace .
Also , lot of space rooms , as you could welcome in our apartment 6 relatives in the same time , and showed them how beautiful and extremely clean this apartment what you rent .
Maybe you were a little tired and busy with your thoughts, and the memories were broken so sometimes a good music can help , I can recommend this "historia de un amor" song for you .
But anytime if you like to come back just inform , and you can stay with us again ,
thank you for your stay again , Janos an original hungarian owner ,
We came to Budapest prior to a river cruise. We flew in at nearly midnight and were met with a driver who took us to the vrbo where Janos and Jozsef had taken care of every detail! The room was warm and inviting. It was clean and well stocked. They gave us so many wonderful recommendations and help throughout our entire stay. They made sure that we had a driver who brought us to the room and taxis when we needed it. They recommended restaurants to eat at and places to go while considering our budget and interests. They were thoughtful and attentive, and answered all of our questions thoroughly. It was wonderful to see their pride in their country, as well as desire to make our experience one not soon forgotten. I highly recommend staying here!
Janos and Jozsef are the best hosts! Janos communicated perfectly prior to our arrival and arranged a pick up for us at the BUD airport that was flawless.
The apartment is perfectly equipped with everything needed, and the washer works perfectly. The bed is very comfortable and bedding is divine.
We chose to explore Budapest with Janos as our guide on our first day in town and it was a great decision! Janos was a very informative and considerate guide. I would highly recommend getting your bearings for the rest of your time in the city, a tour with Janos is the way to go!
Janos offered to cook a meal for us and Jozsef did much of the preparation while we were out exploring. Janos made a wonderful cheesecake the day before. It was a delicious authentic, Hungarian meal. It was well worth the money and a perfect ending to our first day.
The apartment location is local to everything.
Book with Janos and Jozsef. You will be happy you did!
This excellent property is situated on the 5th floor of a traditional Hungarian apartment block only a few minutes walk from The Danube and so close to all of the famous sites. The area has many bars and restaurants as well as several small independent shops where you can buy delicious bread and pastries, fruit and vegetables, cheeses, hams and sausages etc. Yet despite all of this, it is peaceful and quiet. The apartment itself is immaculately clean, very comfortable and has all you need for your stay. The main bedroom and living area is spacious, airy and comfortable; the kitchen is very well equipped and the elegant bathroom has a walk-in shower, toilet, washbasin and sink. There is also a single bedroom where we stored our cases.
For us the very best part of our stay was meeting Janos, our host. He made our holiday so very special. On our first day, he arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and then spent time with us explaining the excellent transport system and recommending restaurants and places to visit as well as the best times to visit them. We had already planned a day’s sightseeing with him which was so good that we asked him for a second day when we visited a beautiful village in the mountains, went bob-sleighing and then had a two hour boat trip on the Danube. Janos obviously loves his country and was so knowledgeable and informative, explaining his country’s history as well as life now. We loved spending the time with him. We will be back!
Nous avons passé de merveilleuses vacances dans cet appartement. Janos et Jozsef nous ont fourni de précieux conseils et l'appartement était parfait pour nous : dans un quartier calme (mais riche en histoire avec tous ses immeubles Art déco), proche du centre et juste à côté des transports en commun. Nous ne manquerons pas de revenir dans cet appartement lors de notre prochain séjour !

I never learned to guide but love my city and I was always curious about history and people and I always ask about people life so if you like to see this city through a local person eye , that is me . Every tour I do I share my life and a small part of my soul so I happy to wait the right small group of travellers . Keywords what you can see and hear on a city tour : sights like Parliament , walk on Chain bridge , walk around Royal Palace , Mathias church , Fishermen bastion , than Saint Stephen Basilica , Opera , Synagogue , Great Market hall , Heroes square . Whate else : have a drink at Simpla garden ruin pub and if there is live music listen a little bit than discuss which thermal bath the best and what you should do there to follow the local tradition , book a table in our favorite restaurant where is live music every evening and not touristy and reasonable prices (a maincourse 10 euros ) . And my stories (local people life , communism and so on )what I learned from people and my family ... The village tour to Szentendre the art village can be by train or boat or these combination .
