Guest Reviews

• Kerstan L (10/5): - The apartment is in a GREAT location and it's SUPER AWESOME. Very very clean and safe. Janos met us as soon as we arrived and he was super helpful and very communicative and clear with all directions... all went super smoothly. The apartment is incredible. TONS OF ROOM for the three of us... and the apartment sleeps 8! Thank you so much Janos!
• Vlastimil (10/5): - Great place downtown that is perfect for a multi day stay. Easy to get to from the airport and to get to anywhere you’d like to see in Budapest. I’d stay again.
• Jayne (6/5): - We stayed twice on our 3 week trip. 4 nights at the beginning and 1 night at the end. We were booked in two different apartments, apartment nine for the four nights, and Apartment six for the one night. Each apartment was clean, area was safe, but the towels are very thin and small and the bed linens are worn, giving you the impression they may or may not have been recently washed, especially the duvet covers. The staff was very quick to respond to any questions we had, check-in was easy, early check-in was available, each apartment had an efficiency kitchen with the basic necessities, Apartment six had a dishwasher. Best apartments also had a washing machine. The apartment is in a great location to access transportation, shopping, eating, and walkable to the main tourist sites.
• Bruno (6/5): - The location is good and the flat itself was clean and spacious. However, I had booked a room with two queen beds but was given only one. This was partially resolved the next day with one queen and two single beds, but there was no prior communication (and I arrived late at night, which made it quite inconvenient) The host was kind and eventually helped, but only after I raised the issue. He could've been more proactive. He initially suggested it was my mistake as I didn't not tell him it wasn't a couple and that I needed two beds, though my Expedia booking clearly stated the room type. I also found it odd that payment was requested through an external link rather than via Expedia, but that's okay despite the risk. The building is quite old and resembles a modest tenement-style complex in its interior courts, with many small units and a somewhat chaotic atmosphere. While I can’t confirm anything, the environment around some neighbouring units felt questionable. Expedia only stepped in to help after I raised the issue of the incorrect room and mentioned potential legal action, which was frustrating. In short, while the flat has its positives, I wouldn’t recommend it. For a small difference in price, you can find better managed hotels nearby and avoid headaches.
• Michael (10/5): Mike - Our stay was wonderful. Janos, the property manager was so quick and helpful to answer our questions and provided us with a great experience. If you’re looking for a great place to stay at a very reasonable price, look no further. You can stay at a great hotel with marble walls and floors at 6 times the price as Katona Apartments or spend the savings on a great dinner and time in town. We would definitely stay there again.
• John (8/5): - Location location location one of the hottest spots in Budapest. Short walk to every sight and museums you wanted to see Longest walk was 20 min for a 70 yo. Caution is in the details on site parking is couple blocks away in public parking garage.and washer was damaged for long time min for a 70yo.
• Craig (8/5): - Great location and spacious studio. There are some simple things cleanliness wise that could be improved. The underside of the kitchen cabinet is accessible and not properly cleaned, either close it off or clean it. The bed sheets are in need or refreshing and it costs very little to provide a fresh dishwashing sponge for new guests. With a few tweaks it could be a top review.
• Simone (6/5): - The location of this property cant be beat, it felt safe and everything was a short walking distance away so as a solo female traveller it was excellent. However, the apt wasnt clean and was noticably dusty, felt like it had been mopped that day just before i got in but hadnt been used in a while, but still items hadnt been wiped down and freshened up at all. Im not generally picky about locations but must be clean safe and well located. Unfortunately not feeling clean was a major downside. Also the bedding, pillows, sheets, towels etc need to be changed, they were clean but felt too used and thin. And the bath mat was also quite dirty.
• Geoffrey (8/5): - Our arrival and check-in instructions were timely and accurate. The owner was available and helpful. The apartment was clean and well-equipped. The building is older but in a great location. A reasonably priced alternative to a hotel near transit ,restaurants and grocery stores.
• Paul (10/5): Great Location, Excellent customer service - I dont write many reviews, but at times you can tell when someone goes over and above all expectations to deliver a great customer experience. Great Apartment great location, Clean and well mainained. Communication was excellent.
• Andrew (10/5): Great Apartment - Firstly, the apartments are in a fantastic location close to transport links, restaurants and attractions. The apartment itself was massive and had all the amenities we could ask for. Communication with Janos was exceptional. I am a frequent traveller and rate my stay at Katona very highly indeed.
• Jon (8/5): Very close to Hungarian restaurants and the sites - The location is excellent, very near really good Hungarian restaurants and within 15 minutes of all the main attractions in Pest. The owner, Janos, has excellent communication, with very easy to follow self check-in instructions. We are a family of 4 and were in Apartment 4 which is very spacious and warm. The only downside was the street noise in the master bedroom, with bins being emptied at 5am. I would still stay here again though - just take some ear plugs. It’s very good quality for the price.
• Dorian (10/5): - The place is very central. Close to all attractions..
• Wajih (10/5): - Awesome place and great host. I recommend to anyone staying in Budapest. Everything is nearby and efficient.
• Lidee (6/5): - Building is old but location is great next to Parisi hotel.
• Jennifer (10/5): - Great location. While there was no front desk, the host was very communicative and helpful. They even helped to arrange a car to pick us up at the airport for a very reasonable fee.
• Issac (10/5): - Great location nice rooms and very accommodating staff that helped me with whatever I needed and answered quickly
• Catherine (10/5): - It was close to many interesting sites in Budapest.
• Yvonne (8/5): Location!! - Suited for what we needed. Needed more instructions in the unit…coffeemaker, safe, how to get a drying rack for the washer. I wouldn’t have had to bother the property manager if they were in the unit. Beds are very low to the floor, but comfortable.
• Scott (10/5): - The apartment was really clean and tidy in an amazing, central part of Budapest. Everything was either within walking distance of an easy tram or metro ride such as Heroes Square and the Main Train Station. The host, Janos, was fantastic to deal with and super responsive which was great. Amazing spot with great value!
• Michelle (8/5): - Apt 12 was as it shows in the listing and actually more spacious than I expected. It was nice we could close the bedroom/living area door for our daughter to fall asleep while we did laundry and had a drink in the bathroom/kitchem area. The washer had a broken piece leaving sharp metal in there that we didn't notice before hand and it left pulls in many of our clothes that wont be able to be repaired. The property manager apologized for the issues. I am leaving this note so others will be aware in case it is not fixed before thwy arrive. They were very understanding when I let them know we accidentally broke a wine glass. The location is fantastic. Instructions were clear how to get in and they responded to all my random inquiries fairly quickly. It is a slightly run down looking courtyard you are facing, but you aren't there for the view. It is a bit older and basic, but great for the price.
• Alan (10/5): - Excellent, lovely apartment, very central.
• Ted (10/5): Great Place in Budapest - We enjoyed our stay with Janos, who was very communicative. Great location - everything was walkable - and the apartment was very quiet.
• Timothy (8/5): Quiet convenient unit - The apartment was located in a very convenient part of Budapest -- basically, right on the Danube and a block or two away from one of the bridges to cross the river. The unit is situated in a courtyard so was very quiet. The only "issue" I had was in the evening when I was sitting at the kitchen table on my iPad, the door opened and 2 guys in their 20s were there, obviously at the wrong unit. I just hadn't locked the door fully, but that was a bit weird. Also, I liked that the apartment had a full kitchen and the host provided coffee and cereal, which was appreciated.
• Lindsay (10/5): - Very nice place and great area. Owner is very nice and helpful, definitely recommend
• Sophia (6/5): - Excellent check in details on how to access the apartment. The host Janos was also helpful giving me a heads up on the upcoming May 1 holiday when most businesses were closed except for restaurants and cafes. The apartment was missing a hairdryer and he came back the next morning to bring it to me. The apartment building is conveniently situated next to a very high end hotel, public transportation, supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, restaurants, you name it! Now come the bad parts...on my 2nd night there, a group of 4 or 3 people checked in. From 10pm to midnight, there were non stop loud noises coming from that apartment, which happened to be right next to mine. Lots of banging and knocking things around, loud laughing and talking, and smoking! The smoke got into my apartment because I had the window slightly open. Then while I was sleeping, I was awaken up by loud talking right outside my apartment, and smoking smell again. It was 3 something in the middle of the night! They were talking very, very loud. Then they moved back inside their apartment. Did they stop there? No! They started playing drums as if in a band. Very loud and the drums vibrated through the walls. Understandably I didn’t get a good night of sleep. The next morning I informed the host. He let me know that it was a group of young people who stayed only for a night and already left. I would not recommend Katona Apartments if you’re not a late night party person or if you don’t smoke.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Location location location - Easy check in and check out. Very responsive hosts. Wonderful location. Apartment felt large and contained everything we needed. Many places to eat within walking distance. Grocery store and subway half a block away. Must mention excellent location again.
• Beverly (10/5): - The apartment was spacious, quiet and had a great view of downtown. It was easy to find and the host was incredibly generous and proactive in helping us settle in. We would definitely stay here again!
• Deborah (10/5): - Flower, the property owner, was so sweet and helpful! She helped us have a wonderful time in Budapest!
• Colleen (8/5): - This unit served its purpose. It is definitely in need of some updates. The bedding was worn and pillows were terrible. The towels were thin and old. You get what you pay for. It would be N affordable option for a family who wants to prepare some meals. I probably wouldn’t stay here again but I can see it working well for budget conscious travellers. Janos was very pleasant to deal with although check in was a hassle as his machine would not process any of the 3 credit cards we tried. Luckily we had enough cash to cover but it left us short.
• Liran (8/5): - Reasonable location. The way to get into the apartment is a bit complicated, but a beautiful apartment.
• Aimee (10/5): - The location was beyond awesome, the owner is truly wonderful, it was perfect and our visit was all we could have hoped for. We were so lucky
• Genevieve (10/5): Location Location Location!!! - Fantastic apartment in a great location close to shops and attractions plus bus stops and a metro station just a few minutes walk. We really enjoyed our 6 night stay. The washing machine was an added convenience and our host Janos even provided a drying rack. The bed was super uncomfortable but for the price and location I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
• Ashish (10/5): - Janos was a great host. He was warm, welcoming and super helpful.
• john (8/5): - Great value, great space. Comfortable beds. Good A/c
• Graham (10/5): - Apartment in a great location in the centre of Budapest. Spacious and comfortable apartment with great air conditioning. The communication from our host, Janos, was excellent and he was on hand at all times to help with any queries. Can't really fault anything and would certainly look to book this apartment again if we return to Budapest.
• Virginia (8/5): - The apartment is very convenient to get to many Budapest attractions. We walked to most of them. The owner was super helpful and friendly.
• Verified traveler (10/5): wonderful - owners were lovely and so helpful! apartment was clean and quiet, very close to main attractions. space was rather small as it was a studio apartment but great nonetheless and definitely worth the price :)
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Pros: location, communication, overall condition of the property. Cons: no body soap nor shampoo on arrival as advertised, next day it was promptly solved
• Jannette (10/5): Katona Experience Budapest - This was the most amazing experience. Accommodation is basic. But clean comfortable and the landlords amazing. Could not be more helpful or accommodating. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. It is situated right in the middle of the city and easy walking distance to just about everything. If you want to experience Budapest life stay here. János and Virag can help you with any personal tours. Thoroughly recommend Timea if you want to do some in depth tours. She is a fountain of knowledge. Can arrange small group tours walking or with a private vehicle. As stated can’t recommend Katona Apartment experience enough
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Great location and a nice big room with kitchen made this a very comfortable place to stay. Very quiet. Good wifi.
• Robin (10/5): - Super location. Very helpful owners. Great apartment. Just the best!! Would recommend to anyone.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and wonderfully helpful hostess. The washer was an added bonus.
• Maria (10/5): Two senior citizens - Our overall experience was wonderful and stress free. The owners outdid themselves in making our 4 nights stay a good memory of the city.they are most helpful and knowledgeable of of the city .

• Uyen (10/5): - The property was centrally located, safe, clean, and had all the necessary amenities for a wonderful stay. In addition, the hosts were very helpful in coordinating transportation to/from the airport and train station during our stay. We would definitely recommend the Katona!
• Lucy (10/5): 10/10 - Amazing location and amazing apartment! We had everything we need and our host was very attentive! Could not recommend enough!!
• D M (8/5): Central location with some quirks - Very good location close to everything in Budapest. The management company was very nice and handled arrangements for our taxi to the airport and from the train station to the apartment very well. The building is a little strange with bars on all the windows going all the way to the top floor. While we felt safe I've never stayed in any place that had bars on the windows . Having a metro station and upermarket less than one block away was very convenient .
• Jennifer (10/5): Perfect Stay - Lovely apartment near everything. Owners are very accommodating. This is my go to place to stay when I am in Budapest.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Complete kitchen, and aundry . Owners are amaizing, very helpfull.

The owner was beyond accommodating, was highly organized. The space was more than we could have imagined with everything required and immaculate. Bedding was innovative, extremely comfortable, kitchen facilities, plenty of hot water, modern bath, good towels. We would stay here again in a minute!
• Eric (10/5): Awesome! - Virag and Jonas was the best part of this, they are professional and very helpful!! Next time in Budapest we will visit Katona Apartments for sure!!!
• Bar (10/5): vacation - nice

• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service. Staff was very useful and easy to get in touch. Provided access code for wifi across town. And were very useful with providing recommendations of activities and tour companies in town. Also, were very helpful with booking taxis and selling tickets for activities and admission to places such as bath houses. Definitely recommendable
• Stephen (10/5): Perfect spot for a short stay, great host too! - Excellent stay in a perfect location with a great host. The apartment is simple and basic with everything you need for a short stay. The host is extremely well organised and very helpful, with excellent, fast communications, a perfect system for check in/check out, and everything was fine as advertised with the apartment. Highly recommended!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect location - Excellent location, comfortable apartment, accommodating hosts! Highly recommend! Brilliantl setup, safe, clean, accessible (elevator), full amenities for a short or long stay. Easy access to restaurants, pubs, hop on hop off, metro and buses. Wifi a bit flaky. Would definitely stay again if we come back to Budapest!👍
• Ledenita (10/5): Best time in Budapest - Centrally located in the city center but the true jewel is the host. Excellent customer service! Spent few minutes explaining the map of the city and best restaurants around the area. Made our stay in Budapest memorable. Another plus, the host will gladly book taxi for you if you need a lift to the train station.
• Shawn (10/5): - This property is close to everything, it is in the center of the tourist district, many restaurants nearby, chain bridge just few minute walking distance away. Washing machine is a big plus in this hot summer. Janos - the owner is very nice, and easy to communicate.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice apartment in a great location! - The apartment was in the perfect location, close to everything. It was easily accessible and the managers were excellent!
• Anna (8/5): Apartment close to Budapest attractions - This appartment is in an old building and has good security. The owners Virág and János couldn’t do enough for us and were great at keeping us informed with numerous emails and suggestions for things to do in Budapest. The appartment had everything you could need.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Greeted by Janos who was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. Great recommendation for dinner at a traditional Hungarian restaurant. Apartment is in an excellent location. The WiFi was outstanding and Janos also provided WiFi connection in hotspots throughout the city.
• Roger (10/5): Everything you need and more - Great experience, loved the quaint apartment that had everything we needed and a washing machine! Very helpful, attentive and friendly owners and everything is at your doorstep. The apartment was clean and well appointed, and being on the courtyard side of this building in the city center we did not hear a thing, so quiet and then everything only meters away. This will be our place of choice when we return. Do not hesitate.
• Zsuzsanna (10/5): Great stay - We were two families staying in two apartments. We had a fabulous stay. The apartments are clean and have a lot of storage due to the unique design. The location is unbeatable, the rooms are quiet. However, the best feature of our stay was the attentiveness of the hosts. From the check-in through our stay they responded to all of our questions within minutes. This was possible via the fast and reliable Wi-fi. The hosts accommodated our requests quickly, and saved the day when we left our tickets to the bath in the apartment. I will stay here again when visiting Budapest.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fabulous location and service in Budapest - We stayed in the 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath unit with full kitchen and was very roomy. We appreciated the washer (detergent provided) and large drying rack as we had been on the road for awhile. The building has one of the best elevators we have seen in Europe, large with automatic inner door. The unit is on floor 1 which is actually 3 floors up so the elevator is great for luggage. The building is very quiet so that you can rest well and the location is great! There is a metro stop and bus stop on the corner. It is within a half mile to one mile of all the major sites. We chose to walk everywhere, which added up to 5 to 10 miles each day, so you might want to supplement with public transportation. The owners are amazing! They reached out to us right after we made the reservation and offered to arrange transportation on both ends of our stay, as well as provided information about the Budapest area. Their website is very complete and informative. They are available at any time when you contact them. They can also assist with reservations for river cruises, the baths, etc. which will avoid some of the lines. We had left some items behind at a prior apartment and had them shipped to Budapest and the owners made sure that we received the package before we left. We highly recommend Katona Apartments for a very comfortable stay in the Budapest area and will definitely stay there again in the future.
• Terry (10/5): - Perfect location and the hostess is very helpful for tourist advices.
• Linzy (10/5): Wonderful Stay - Highly Recommend - Our stay was wonderful. Janos and Virag were very helpful and accommodating - gave us great recommendations and helped with dinner reservations. Would highly recommend!
• Diane (10/5): Great experience! - Great experience! Was clean, secure, and conveniently located! Janos gave us good recommendations for things to do and places to eat... which btw was amazing!!!
• Jim & Ning (10/5): Budapest City Center Apartments - Katona apartment owner Janos had a driver pick us up at Budapest airport and drove us to Katona apartments. Janos met us there and explained how everything worked in the apartment and how to get around the city. The apartment was well furnished. The grocery store, coffee cafes, restaurants, and public transportation along with the bank, are all a short walk from the apartment. The apartment location is excellent. The apartment has an elevator and excellent security. Janos told us if we had any questions about anything to send him an e-mail. Every time we sent him and e-mail we received a quick reply with the answer to our question. Janos when out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoy our stay in Budapest. I would recommend this apartment. Thank you Janos :-)
• Amanda (10/5): Budapest Family Stay - We really enjoyed our stay. Janos was the perfect host, providing information and advice. The location was awesome and we felt very safe. The apartment amenities were excellent. We would definitely recommend!!
• Anita (10/5): - Very happy about everything; great host, wonderful location, helpful, great service, very clean. Highly recommended
• m (8/5): Great location and helpful and welcoming staff - We were waited for and greeted outside the apartment building after being dropped of by a car that picked us up at the airport. The apartment has everything you need and is in the heart of the city.
• Olena (10/5): Perfect place - Everything was amazing. Perfect location, cozy apartment, helpful and friendly hosts. Thank you!
• Fiona (8/5): Great Location Helpful Owners - All facilities available including Washer/Dryer and Coffee Maker. Thoughtful presentation, Quiet environment and great location.
• Steven (10/5): Nice hotel in prime location! - Perfectly located in the center of Budapest. Easy walk to everything.
• Zhi (10/5): Loved it - I loved the stay. The apartment is nicely located, had everything I needed, and some free and handy items such as a washing machine and iron w/ board. The host Janos was very knowledgeable and helpful about the city and pleasant to talk to.
• Ratchy & Tommy (10/5): Nice, Clean, Comfort and Excellent location - Unluckily we spent just few night in this lovely fully equipped place. The host is very well helpful, humbling and always be ready to help. The location is just in the heart of the city, ease for transportation and nearby the attractive place. Overall is great. Here could be the first list of accomodation if you visit Budapest. Cheers!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The apartment was in an excelent location and had everything that we could possibly have needed. The owner was there to meet us and gave us lots of information about Budapest which proved very useful. We had contact numbers for them and felt confident that if we had any issues they would be addressd straight away. They even contacted us during the stay to check hat everything was ok. We would highly recommend this apartment.
• Sheryl (10/5): Pleasant, efficiency apartment in a great location - Janos met us to explain everything we needed to know about accessing the apartment and answered our questions about where to find a grocery store and good restaurants, etc. There are guide books there fort reference. He was flexible about letting us drop off our luggage early and leave it late. Highly recommended though not elegant, very nice.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Best place we stayed on our trip to 3 cities! - Excellent location (close to popular pedestrian-only streets, metro, waterfront, grocery store, etc), everything we needed in a hotel, and a very comfortable space. What really stood out were the hosts: they had maps, tons of information about the areas, suggestions on where to go for sight-seeing and restaurants, advice on best bath houses, and they even made reservations to restaurants and coordinated a shuttle service to the airport. They were also readily available if we had questions.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay, perfect location, host tries to make you feel ar home
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Apartments were spacious, well equipped, and the owners were extremely nice & helpful. They spent 20 - 30 minutes with us reviewing the amenities of the apartment and suggesting places & areas in Budapest to tour & see.
• Samuel Muir (10/5): Three nights in Budapest - The apartment is very well situated, about a five minute walk from the Pest side of the Elizabeth Bridge over the Danube. We had travelled from Vienna by train and Janos and Virag provided a car transfer from the station at a cost of 5 euros. This went very smoothly, to the extent that we booked the transfer for the return journey. They will also provide the same service (at a higher cost) to and from the airport. The apartments have a very good website with many ideas for sightseeing trips. However, Janos spent the best part of an hour with us, explaining exactly where we were and all the nearby facilities and attractions. By the time we set out into the city ourselves we felt we already knew our way about. The apartment is clean and comfortable with good facilities. Janos and Virag were both available by phone or email if any requests or problems arose. There is a real personal touch by the owners and we would have no hesitation in recommending Katona apartments to anyone making a trip to Budapest.
• Amit (10/5): Excellent location and great service - This apartment in in the heart of the city. Location is excellent, 5 min walk to major metro station and bus stop for nonstop service to airport. The hosts are super helpful, they provide all the details as we booked the apartment and personally met us when we checked in. We came earlier in the morning, and they made sure the apartment was ready for us. A+ service. Lots of cafes, restaurants, money changers and sightseeing places in walking distance. The apartment itself was very big in size and had all the amenities. Some minor nuances are small bathroom (compared to room size) and there was construction going on in the building exterior. But it was not bothersome. Overall highly satisfied.
• Terea (10/5): Owners are AMAZING! - The owners are wonderful and sweet! They know the area very well and will help in any way that they can.
• Stuart (10/5): Good Place to stay in Budapest. - Central location in old part of Pest near everything. Large room. Good Price. Host is really helpful and cooperative. You can't do better.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great time in budapest - this apartment was great. in the central part of budapest, very convient to go everywhere. and the host janos was amazing, he told me where to get the best rate excahnge, local markets, and restaurant recommendations. Great location, Great staff, Great deal.
• Nancy (10/5): Fantastic hotel for exploring the city - Fantastic hotel for exploring the city. Staying here was one of the highlights of our four city tour of Europe. Before our arrival, the staff insured that we had reasonably priced transportation to the apartments. We were greeted upon our arrival and given extensive information about city sites as well as recommendations for tours and restaurants. The one bedroom apartment was comfortable and its location was in walking distance to most major city sites.The fact that the apartment included a washing machine was quite a bonus. We would certainly stay there again on our next trip to Budapest.
• Bogdan (10/5): Great location, wonderful service - Perfect experience. Great hosts. Always willing to help and full of enthusiasm. We left Katona Apartments knowing that one day will be back again.

• Paul (10/5): Great location for touring the city. - These apartments are located in the heart of the city and are situated close to all main attractions and transit. There was a large renovation going on next door but the construction could not be heard at our apartment. The owners of the unit were always available and extremely helpful. They speak English very well and made excellent suggestions on planning site seeing tours. I would highly recommend these accommodations .
• Michael (10/5): Amazing customer service. - The apartment is in the centre of Budapest next to the main shopping area. It was very clean and more spacious than anticipated. The owners where incredibly helpful, organising taxis on arrival and departure, they greated us on arrival and ran through what to do and where to go in the city. They recommended restaurants and booked the tables, and also arranged our tickets for a bus and boat tour of the city. It was a level of customer service I have never experienced, I will use again and would recommend to anyone going to Budapest.

• Michael (10/5): Best place to stay in Budapest! - Just returned from a 2 week trip in Europe with the last 3 days in Budapest. Everything about Katona Apartments was spectacular! There was lots of room for 2 adults and 2 adult-sized kids, a full kitchen, washing machine, and fantastic location only steps away from the famous Vaci utca. But what really put this place over the top was our host, Virag. Before we even arrived, we received loads of helpful information including activities to fill a 3 day itinerary. She kept in touch with us as our stay was getting closer and helped arrange our transfer from the train station. When we arrived, she helped get us oriented to Budapest and spent an incredible amount of time helping us finalize our plans. She arranged a Danube river cruise, our ride to the airport at the end of our trip, and even found a Hungarian folk dancing class that was one of the highlights of our trip. We know exactly where we want to stay the next time we return to Budapest. Thank you, Virag!

I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wishes to travel to Budapest
