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!

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.

I loved the apartment! It was central to all sites and everything we needed, was very clean, and everything worked well! Restaurants, cafes, stores and metro only minutes away. Hajnal was very helpful in meeting us on arrival and providing a map that had all the local sites to see. I would recommend this apartment and Hajnal!

Our week in Budapest

It is a bright and cheerful apartment in a very convenient location for visiting the various Budapest attractions by foot or public transport. We found it very clean and well equipped with adequate crookery, cutlery and cooking utensils for the two of us. Recommended. There were just a very few issues that needed attention. One of the shower controls was broken, some sidelights didn’t work, the fridge inner door shelf strap was broken, there was only one English language TV channel (CNN !), and one or two of the dining room chairs needed some ‘maintenance’, i.e. the leg cross-bars needed regluing. However, these did not cause us any great inconvenience and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful apartment in perfect location

The apartment is very cozy for a family or a couple, and the owner is very kind and friendly. It is spacious, comfortable and quiet. It is in a central location so you can walk to the most important streets and trendy pubs, restaurants and cafes. The apartment is very close to two metro stations (of two different lines, M2 and M3). It 's really been a pleasant experience to be repeated.

Fabulous apartment in excellent location

The pictures do not do the apartment justice, it's super beautiful and super clean. The location is a 5-10minute walk from the main streets and the river. I was there with another female friend and we felt perfectly safe walking back to the apartment at night. It's in a quiet spot so we both slept like babies. I'm planning another trip to Budapest in the future and I will def be staying here again.

Feminine, PERFECTLY situated, spacious... Perfect!

I have been itching to review this property! I had such a lovely experience that I wanted to sing its praises. First, the apartment itself is super cute and stylish with excellent accommodations, comfortable bed and plenty of space to not overcrowd you and your fellow traveller. Secondly, it is perfectly situated! Super close to all the new, trendy cafes in District VII, and super accessible to all other major sights whether that be via foot, metro, tram etc. (very close to M2 Astoria and M3 Ferenciek tere). Thirdly, the owner is so friendly and equally helpful! She answered all of my questions and even assisted us with a few issues we had regarding transportation. I hope you will pick this flat because it is the perfect resting spot for your visit in beautiful Budapest! Enjoy!
