The apartment is lovely and well maintained. Its location is definitely its strongest point, as it is very central and situated on a beautiful street right next to the opera house. The host was very helpful and responsive.

I stayed here for approximately two months and had an excellent experience.

The apartment is in a very convenient central location, close to Andrássy Avenue and well positioned for moving around Budapest. Public transportation, cafés, restaurants, and grocery stores are all nearby, with a SPAR within easy walking distance.

Kismező is located in the same building and served some of the best goulash I had during my stay. Personally, I preferred it to Mama Goulash, although that is naturally a matter of individual taste.

Despite the central location, the apartment was peaceful and quiet, which made it an especially good place for getting work done. The unit itself was comfortable for working, but the location also made it easy to set out in almost any direction and find a café or another suitable place to work within walking distance.

Communication with the host was consistently fast, responsive, and straightforward. Everything related to the stay was handled smoothly.

I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet, and well-connected base in central Budapest. My stay was easily 5 out of 5.

Neighborhood
The neighborhood is very central and receives considerable tourist traffic, but inside the apartment this was hardly noticeable. I stayed during the 2026 Champions League final, when Budapest was especially busy and there were plenty of enthusiastic Arsenal supporters in the area, yet the apartment remained just as peaceful as it was on quieter days.

The area felt comfortable to walk around at night, including for a quick trip to one of the nearby 24-hour shops. Although I generally keep to myself, I found the neighborhood respectful, courteous, and welcoming. People regularly exchanged simple greetings, but I never felt pressured to be overly social. Overall, it is a relaxed, convenient, and highly recommended part of Budapest.

The apartment feels as though it sits in the center of a small food and coffee scene, with excellent options in nearly every direction.

Kismező, located in the same building, is highly recommended for Hungarian food and served some of the best goulash I had in Budapest. Personally, I preferred it to Mama Goulash.

For breakfast or brunch, Teátrum Bistro, next to Kismező in the Operetta Theatre building, was an easy A+.

I would also recommend Café Zsivágó on Paulay Ede Street and TC Space Budapest Specialty Coffee on Dessewffy Street, which was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and comfortable for getting work done.

For coffee, Művész Kávéház and Café Muse, also referred to as MUSE2, were both easily among my top three places in Budapest. Café Muse is located on Sütő Street and is about a 10 to 15 minute walk away, which never felt far to me. % Arabica also served some of the best coffee I had anywhere.

Pizzica, immediately nearby, is difficult to walk past without being hit by the smell of freshly baked pizza. It is extremely inviting, and watching the staff cut and portion the pizza with scissors adds to the experience.

Honestly, there are too many good places to name. Walk in almost any direction and you are likely to find a café or restaurant within a few minutes that you will not regret trying.

No issues or problems with the property or the owner. Everything was great and was a great location for seeing the city. They're nearby restaurants, theaters and public transportation is only a 5-minute walk. Super market is almost directly across the street. Cafe/ Wine bar is also there. The only downside is if you have bad knees or back the stairs are a little steep inside the flat but if you don't they are fine. Easy check it, easy check out. I would recommend this apartment for anyone who wants a great location to see the city or live here long term. It's clean, updated and good to go.

Neighborhood
One of the best places to live to visit the city.. 5 minutes to public transport. Everything you need is all within a few minutes walk.

Both the owner and the manager of the flat were very nice and accommodating. We arrived and left at early hours and it was not a problem. During our stay of 5 months we had a few requests that were met very rapidly, either to repair the washing machine or to shorten our lease. We are really satisfied with everything.

The restaurant Kismezo, just outside the flat is really nice and not too expensive.

I had a wonderful experience renting this apartment during my Erasmus stay. The landlord was extremely friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay — communication was always quick and easy.

The apartment itself was perfect: very well located, clean, fully equipped, and everything worked exactly as expected. The listing description was 100% accurate, and I felt comfortable and safe during my entire stay.

I truly appreciated the smooth check-in and check-out process, as well as the owner's availability in case of any questions. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a reliable and pleasant rental experience!

Neighborhood
The neighborhood is lively, safe, and very convenient for students. It offers everything you might need within walking distance — supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and public transportation. Despite being central, it's also quite peaceful, especially in the evenings.

There are green spaces nearby, which are perfect for relaxing or studying outside. The area feels welcoming and is well-connected to other parts of the city, making it easy to explore. It’s a great place to live, especially for international students.

Yes, there are several places I would highly recommend in the area. For a taste of traditional Hungarian food, Kismező – Hungarian Cuisine was one of my favorite spots — the food was authentic and the atmosphere very warm. If you're looking for something more unique, the Cat Café is a really cozy place where you can enjoy a drink surrounded by friendly cats — perfect for animal lovers!

Lancelot Restaurant offers a medieval-style dining experience with hearty dishes and a fun atmosphere. I also enjoyed the Zoo Café, where you can interact with small animals while having coffee — it’s a fun and memorable place, especially with friends.

Another great place is Menza Étterem és Kávéház, which is always lively and serves excellent local and international dishes in a stylish setting. Finally, I often went to local bars to watch football matches — the vibe was always friendly and full of energy, a great way to meet people and enjoy the games.

Pros:
-The apartment is located in one of the most beautiful areas to Budapest. You can find whatever you need at a short walking distance. Shops, grocery stores, a great and cheap gym.
-The apartment is large and very comfortable. The bed and the sofa are comfy.
-It is very well equipped and everything works perfectly. Temperature can be precisely set using a remote control, which is great.
-There is a lot of storage space.
-No issues with noise whatsoever.

Cons:
-The apartment does not get much sunlight at all because windows face a patio and are tempered glass. Tempered glass is great for privacy, but blocks the little sunlight there is from entering.
-It would be better if the window on the bedroom had a cover. Granted that it's very small and doesn't let A LOT of light in, but it still lets in a considerable amount, especially when people are entering the building and lights are turned on.
-Owner is abroad, so the majority of issues are handled by his manager. Manager could be more responsive and eager to solve the renters problems. I felt he was avoidant and wanted to have the least amount of work possible on his hands.
-Owner and manager do not know the doorbell code of the apartment, which you need in case you're receiving deliveries. We talked several times about it and I was told the manager would get back to me on it. He never did.
-The listing says there is an iron and an ironing board in the apartment. There isn't. I told the manager of this issue and he just told me that "it must be there", no initiative to verify that (I checked every place where it could have been stored and didn't find it) or offer to provide it. I didn't insist much because I was put off by that. Since I needed an iron for my next apartment, which didn't have one, I bought one myself.
-When I arrived at the time that was specified days in advance, manager told me the cleaning person had not gone there yet and sent her there at the moment I arrived. I believe the apartment had been empty for days, so he probably just forgot to send her there. Not nice to have to wait 4 hours for the apartment to be cleaned when you have just arrived from an intercontinental trip. On the plus side, it's nice that they have the apartments cleaned professionally before new guests arrive and it was cleaned well. Not all landlords do that.

Overall, I would still recommend the apartment. Manager could have been better, but I still believe that if there were any serious issues (there were none), he would have fixed them promptly. Moving forward, things can be done differently. The main issue with the apartment for me would be the lack of sunlight. It does feel a bit claustrophobic in there because of it, although other people may disagree with me given the large size of the apartment and the high ceilings.

Neighborhood
Chic and full of establishments. Very central and well-connected to other parts of the city via public transport, if you ever need to go somewhere far from it. Mostly, you'll just walk.
