My 17 year old daughter and I finally made a trip to Hungary after talking about it for years. We went through VRBO listing for weeks before finally deciding on this apartment for our Winter 2015 trip- We were *not* disappointed. We rented the apt for 8 days as we explored Budapest, and made day trips out to visit relatives throughout the countryside.
Waiting out front for Petra, a friend of the owner, to bring the key for our check-in, we were admiring the architectural style of the buildings. A bronze plaque on the ground in front identified this building as one designed by Ybl Miklos, a famous architect, known for many of the most beautiful of Budapest's architectural treasures. Walking through the entry, you sense a wonderful history, and in walking through the front door of the apt, you move from turn-of-the-century architectural beauty to a modern spacious and cozy apartment, with all the conveniences of home- refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, walk-in shower, coffee maker, flat screen TV, and full Wi-Fi internet. We could not ask for any more. Petra gave us a tour, and a quick lesson of the dishwasher, clothes washer, closet with the ironing board and iron, and left us contact information in case we needed help. Seba, the owner, checked in with us via text mid-week to make sure everything was OK.
There were two bedrooms, very well furnished, clean bedding, and quite comfortable. My daughter grabbed the loft bedroom, with the open feel of the entire apartment, and I took the more secluded bedroom. Andrassy is a busy street, but we heard nothing but silence from the apartment- We both had very comfortable night sleep. There was a couch downstairs that converted to another bed that looked equally as comfortable,
The kitchen was perfect for small meals that we bought at the local market, having our morning pastries, or Hungarian breakfast of bread, salami, paprika, tomato and cheese with our coffee.
The washing machine was also very useful in our 8-day trip, as we were able to do our laundry mid-stay, and my daughter was able to wear her favorite shirt twice on the trip.
The location was just perfect- We were a short walk from the streetcar and subway stop at Oktagon, and from there, we could go anywhere throughout the city. We enjoyed our stay at this property, and look forward to our next visit.
Thank you Seba and Petra, Truly A + +
