St. Stephen Boulevard Apartment

The apartment is centrally located in a historic building on Szent Istvan Boulevard, close to the Parliament (10 minutes away on foot) and very close to Nyugati train station (5 minutes away on foot). Also one of the biggest shopping centers in Hungary, Westend is located on a very short walk from the apartment (where you'll find a metro station too). The apartment is very spacious, fully equipped, ideal for a family of 4 (we were 3) and ideal for a longer stay than a city break. We really liked it, we highly recommend it and will look for it the next time we come back to Budapest.

It's not something we didn't like, but there is something that can be a problem: parking spaces in the area. Being a central area, parking can only be done on the street or at the parking lot of one of the large hotels nearby. At the hotels it is very expensive, somewhere around 600 forints per half hour, it has to be paid 24h. On the street it is 600 forints per hour and it has to be paid every three hours. There is an app where you can pay to avoid going to the parking lot. You have to pay between 8 am and 10 pm but at night, on weekends and public holidays parking is free. All you need is to be lucky to find a place on the street.

Good location, nice apartment, modern appliances and many in the kitchen including a dishwashing machine and overall the vibe of the apartment and its overall appearance.

The building complex was old and unattained but with a great a potential for amazing architecture and interior design.

Spacious and comfortable apartment. Situated on the third floor the 96 steps were fine for us, we treated it as some enforced fitness. Great WiFi, plenty of space to spread out and relax. We didn't use the cooking faciliteies, there seemed to be enough pots and pans if you wanted to cook.

The experience was let down by some minor issues, the lounge is somewhat tatty and dirty, the bedhead a bit tatty also. There were wet towels left in a bucket and dishes in the dishwasher. The spin cycle on the washing machine did not work, clothes were still dripping wet after repeated spin cycles.
