Haus in Budapest mit Garten

Very charming old style house with big garden and nice terrace with outdoor furniture. Great location on 3 minutes walking distance from tram number 3 and 7-8 minutes to metro line 2 and mall with big grocery store. Very friendly owner with quick and polite email/WhatsApp communication. Easy process of later check in/out without personal contact with owner or his representatives Very good money to value ratio

A little bit more time consuming process of payment because it is not organized trough booking site payment system Some additional requirements for filling/sending documentation for registration in advance which was quite annoying and time consuming. As was explained politely by owner this is because of new laws introduced in Hungary in 2021. In our opinion is not tourists friendly in 21st century and is required even to tourists from other European Union countries as is Hungary. We experience similar additional government requirements for tourists in our extensive travels trough the world till now only in Russia. This is not fault of the owner but in my opinion will be helpful to be known for other travelers to Hungary before booking Espresso machine in the house use very specific capsules which we were not able to find in a big grocery store in Mall nearby and few small shops where we searched for. It was explained when we ask owner from were to by them that it is in Tesco grocery stores. With such limited availability in our opinion is better to calculate in rental prices for the house 2 capsules per day per adult and to provide them in advance as is quite usual practice in other houses for rental. For short term stay (2 days, 3 nights) w/o car as in our case it was not planned and we don't have a time for excursion to nearest Tesco store in Budapest :) Because all 5 persons in our travel group are huge espresso lovers and drinkers and we usually check for availability of espresso machine in pictures and accommodation descriptions before booking only huge disappointment from the House with Garden in Budapest was that espresso machine was useless

I liked how close it was to the metro and to the shops. It was also a really nicely sized house and had perfect facilities

I personally would have preferred some stiffer pillows, even just as an option, however we only had one option, which was the really soft pillows. It wasn’t a major issue, in fact it hardly affected our stay.

The location is really excellent.

Excellently furnished and quiet traditional house just metres from a tram stop and easy access to Metro for all the city sights. Lots of space so ideal for a family group like ours so everyone has room to relax. Beds comfortable and everything you need in the kitchen.

Payment is difficult as it isn't done directly on Booking.com, it has to be done via PayPal or transfer, 50% on booking and 50% 2 weeks prior. Also complicated forms to fill in by pdf and emailed back. Plus a €200 security deposit which isn't clear on Booking.com, but is fair as you're staying in someone's home with all the furnishings and extras you don't get in a usual apartment/house rental. Also there is an energy charge of €14 per day on top of the rates quoted, and if you use more than 20% than the agreed amount from the meter readings there is a further surcharge which is deducted from your security deposit.
