About this property

Turn of the century elegance with a modern twist

The listed historic building, besides accommodating our property, also provides a home to a Michelin-star restaurant down at the street level. This renovated flat offers a great feel of a turn-of-the-century building with high ceilings, tall old doors, yet a modern layout with all 21st-century features built in, with an air conditioning system with units in every room. The apartment has new double-glazed windows offering complete sound protection once you return home from the busy streets of Pest. Once you step out of the building, you will feel that you couldn't possibly go any further center. Sas utca is full of restaurants, coffee houses, located by the Basilica, 2- 5 minutes walk from the Danube river, the Chain bridge, and Kiraly street, the world-famous Ruinpubs area, 10 minutes walk from the world's 2nd largest Synagogue. The apartment is on the 3rd floor and the building has an elevator/lift.

Stop 2 of 4 during our 4-week travels in Europe

Communication with the property owner was superb -- even the arrangements of having a driver pick us up at the train station. The location and comfort of the property was excellent -- would highly recommend this property. Don't be turned off by the court yard entrance -- the apartment is LOVELY! Thank you George and Barbara!!

Could not have been better!

From our arrival to our departure everything was better than expected. This condo is located near St Stephen’s church. Public transit was easy to access and there was no shortage of restaurants, from Michelin star and everything in between. Barbara and George were unfailingly helpful. The condo was tastefully decorated and bright, the kitchen well equipped. Nothing was lacking, we highly recommend this lovely spot.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is located in the hub of this vibrant city with easy access to Hop On Hop Off bus, St. Stephens Cathedral and other sites. George was very easy to deal with and very accommodating. The only drawback was that the interior courtyard was undergoing renovations during our stay. This however is not any fault of the host. We recommend this place to anyone needing to stay in Budapest.

Great place for two couples

The flat was a perfect place from which to explore Budapest for a few days. Check-in process was well explained ahead of time and worked perfectly. Two bedrooms on opposite sides of the flat provided enough privacy for each couple, and the communal areas were room enough to eat breakfast and sit together between outings. Host was very helpful with suggestions and with with arranging tours or transfers. Flat is an easy walk to the river front and a short walk to a key subway stop with three intersecting routes converging.

Great location and hosts!

George and Barbara were very easy to communicate with & very accommodating. The location is perfect for restaurants, shopping, and all the sights. Great bus line access. Apartment is well appointed and we were greeted with a bottle of wine and snacks 😁. The building entry way is not great but apt is on top floor with elevator access. They even provided small soaps and shampoo as well as a hair dryer. Corner grocery 1/2 block away for anything you need. Would stay there again if we return to Budapest.

Well-located and comfortable flat

Our family of three was satisfied with our stay, although the multitude of large print, all-cap, 8.5x11" instructional signs posted all over the flat were somewhat off-putting and made us feel less than fully welcome - while the flat was comfortable, we probably wouldn't rent it again because of all of this messaging. We stayed during a heat wave, and an additional fan in the flat (we found one tabletop fan) would be welcome (especially given the instructions about limiting air conditioner use). The flat was clean and is really well-situated in an active area within walking distance to several key touristic sites, public transit, and many, many restaurants. Check-in was mostly problem-free, although there was an extended back-and-forth about finding a way to provide photos of our identification, which were stressful to navigate while in transit without consistent wifi. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay and I could recommend it to others looking for a rental in the area.

Excellent property with great location, close to everything.

Fabulous place

We came to Budapest for a few days before our River Cruise. We are so fortunate to have found this apartment. First of all, George was so helpful. He was prompt in answering every question I had. He even arranged transportation for us from the airport. Clear directions were given regarding the check in process. The apartment was so clean, beautiful and incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect. We were able to get to the places we wanted to see with ease. If we are fortunate enough to return to Budapest, this is where we would stay!!

Great location

Lovely property. Don't be put off by the first entrance through the big wooden door. The apartment is really nice. Great location. The only problem we had was with the apartments lock on the street door. Very difficult to unlock or lock. We had to call to say we couldn't get in on our arrival. Barbara came and managed to open the door. But we still had great difficulty for the rest of our stay. I believe a new lock is required. We had to climb out of the bedroom window one morning because we couldn't unlock the door from the inside. Don't let that put you off though I'm sure George will sort it out. It was a lovely stay and we really enjoyed Budapest. I would recommend the apartment but hopefully the lock issue will get resolved.

Perfect for us!

We were staying here before a river cruise. The property was great for our group, and the location could not be beat. The owners provided all the necessities, so when you walked in you felt ready to start vacation. George and Barbara were very responsive throughout the process. Will definitely recommend to others coming to Budapest. And we will plan to book again when we return.

Fantastic Stay in Budapest

The property was wonderful. We were so excited to stay there as the pictures looked great and it didn’t disappoint. The apt was well laid out - 2 nice size bedrooms off a main room. Having 2 bathrooms made getting around in the am so much easier. Really nice closets we were able to use too. Full size washer and dryer. They were nicely stocked too - extra toiletries all the pots pans and glasses you need plus a lot of nice extras like umbrellas raincoats and even slippers for the baths. Lots of great room in the bathroom I used - a great shelf to put things which is so helpful. Room darkening shades. It’s on the 3rd floor but has an elevator!! And after 2 weeks of climbing stairs that was much appreciated. Location is fantastic. Right around the corner from St Stephens’s and tons of restaurants in the surrounding streets. Super convenient to metro. Check in was self check in. That was how it was on our whole trip. Generally like the concept better. They have very good very detailed instructions in the apt. Very helpful. George was a great host. Super responsive and let us check in early. We also opted for his airport transportation which worked fantastic and put our mind at ease. Overall fantastic
