Very nice, clean and central location.

Very nice and clean appartement in very central location. Parking should be prepared in advance. The location cannot be reached by car. There is a nearby underground garage (at University). Late checkIn time (4.00 p.m.) and the delay in providing the key was the only minus we could mention.

We love staying at this apartment in Budapest. It's actually our second time staying at this location with this host, and I cannot say enough great things about the amazing experiences we have had staying at this apartment. It's beautiful, and it's equipped with everything you need inside the apartment to make it feel like a home away from home. The host is helpful, warm, and available at all times. They will also help you arrange transportation to and from the airport if you want to add that to your stay. Also, the location of this apartment is perfect, because it is centrally located and it is close to the tram lines and subway. Another great feature of this apartment is the safety. The building is secure, and once you buzz into the main front door, you have to also buzz into the elevator room, which makes you feel extra secure about staying at this apartment. We can't wait to return to this fantastic apartment!

Budapest ist auf alle Fälle eine Reise Wert

Das Apatrement liegt mitten in der Innenstadt. Die Anbindungen mit dem öffentlichen Nahverkehr ist sensationell. Auch vom Flughafen kommt man mit nur 3 Euro in die Stadt/zum Apartment. Hier angekommen erlebt man eine komplett renovierte Altbauwohnung. Sie ist liebevoll eingerichtet und bietet so ziemlich alles was man für einen kurzen und wahrscheinlich auch einen längeren Aufenthalt benötigt. (Bei uns ist die Küche kalt geblieben) Einzigstes Manko ist dass es keine Klimaanlage hat. Wen das jedoch nicht stört wird hier einen wundervollen Aufenthalt haben. Liebe Grüsse Simona

Great apartmentment, well located

We had a great stay in Budapest, including this wonderful apartment close to key things we wanted to do, as well as having easy access to public transit. Apartment was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. As Americans, we are used to air conditioning, and hadn't really thought about it ahead of time. Turned out it became very hot in Budapest while we were there, so not having air conditioning was a challenge. But the fan worked well and we kept the windows open at night, so int he end all was good. Other than this minor thing, which was our own fault for not noticing in the listing, the place is absolutely perfect.

We LOVED the apartment. The location was awesome, close to the river, Astor metro station, a hop-on-off bus stop, and the 100E direct bus to the airport. Communications were quick and easy eithe the owners. The apartment was adorable and well stocked. The building is old, and very interesting. I was happily surprised that it was very quiet at night. The only negative was that the mattress on the big bed is a bit uncomfortable. My husband didn’t mind it, so he slept in it and I slept on the twin bed (which was a good mattress). Overall, we enjoyed the apartment and would definitely stay there again.

Sarah’s Room was a perfect fit for my husband and me.

The location of the property couldn’t be better. The lovely apartment was comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed. We were able to walk to so many sights or easily take the metro or buses from here. Hajnal was so helpful and accommodatting!. We couldn’t ask for a more wonderful experience in beautiful Budapest!

Spacious apartment in an ideal location.

Although an old Hungarian building with original antiquated lift the interior was very modern. It is a safe and quiet location and within minutes you are in the heart of the historic city. It has the underground a short walk away either 1,2 or 3 lines. There is an Aldi store at the bottom of the street. The only drawback was no air conditioning but thankfully in times of plus 30 degrees fans were provided.

A very pleasant stay ! A charming apartment in a perfect location

The apartment was cosy and perfectly clean, with a beautiful original decoration, in a traditional old building just like we expected. Heating was perfect. Equipment was OK, nothing missing. The location is very central, 2 minutes from the Astoria station, very close to the Jewish quarter and yet the street was very quiet ! I strongly recommend this accommodation.
