The location was great too, with convenient public transportation nearby. The air conditioning was also a lifesaver during the European heatwave!
Andy was such a kind and thoughtful landlord. He always checked in to make sure everything was okay and that I was comfortable, which I really appreciated.
Moving to Budapest was a big change for me, and I had quite a few worries and difficulties while settling into a new city. Andy’s apartment became a warm and comfortable home for me during that time, and I think having such a lovely place to stay made adapting to Budapest much easier.
I’m really grateful for my stay here and for how kind and welcoming Andy was. Thank you so much! 🤍
The communication with the owner is excellent, the host is very friendly.
We stayed in the apartment for month and a half, and we really enjoyed our stay!
The host is very responsive and ready to help.
For a real walk or hike, you will need a car, from the building you can only walk up and down the highway which is pretty but not exactly a nature experience. (Try to get up to Parque Huerquehue which is gorgeous - there is a bus from town). If you do not have a car (I didn't) uber is an option for getting to town and back. It was not 100% reliable, but pretty good. You do have to go down to Pucón for anything and everything: groceries, restaurants, etc. It's a resort town so restaurants are quite expensive. I don't really eat out so I can't comment on the quality of the restaurants.
For me, one problem with the place was that the power went out frequently, sometimes for hours. After one storm it was out for days. No power meant I couldn't work or cook, and the place gets pretty cold (I was there in June - July).
Also, in spite of the fact that it's promoted for digital nomads, the internet was not adequate for my work which involves one-on-one online consultations with people in North America and Europe. Numerous dropped or unintelligible calls and missed meetings = really not good.
Overall this is a very nice place to stay if you don't require fast/reliable internet for your work, especially if you have a car of your own. Maybe more for vacation/relaxation than for a working nomad.
