Ella’s Grandiose 3 Bedr 3 Bath Apartment in the Heart of the City

This apartment was perfect for the 5 of us - my two daughters, their husbands and I stayed here for over a week. The large bedrooms and three bathrooms meant we could spread out and be very comfortable - or enjoy the large living room together. The kitchen is well equipped and very modern.

The location couldn’t be better, within easy walking distance of everything in the downtown area and near Metro and streetcar stops. Excellent nearby restaurants and cafes and the interesting neighborhood add to the pleasure of staying here.

Our host was very helpful and reliable and always answered requests quickly. Most highly recommended!!

My husband and I and two friends had the pleasure of staying at Ella's place for eight days beginning on September 9th. When choosing a VRBO rental, I always go straight for the reviews, which is the reason I myself take the time to submit them. I figure if a property has virtually all 5-star reviews, then it must be fantastic, and that was certainly the case here. Communication beforehand was excellent and fast and everything went seamlessly.

Our friends arrived before we did and got the key and explanations from Viktor, Ella's husband. After my husband and I arrived and we reviewed all the supplies, we noted we were a bit short on paper towels, hangers and dish clothes. I texted Ella the items and she arranged for Viktor to come by with them the next day, which was great as I always like to meet with the Owners so they can explain the way the appliances work, etc. Vikor showed up right on time the next day and brought everything we had asked for. He was charming and quite fluent in English, as is Ella.

The apartment itself was huge, accommodating and immaculate - as good or better than the pictures. Having the three bathrooms, which was one of the main reasons we chose this unit, was a luxury that we became quite used to! As stated by so many others, the location was ideal. We took a cab a couple of times, but could really have walked everywhere except for one location of a private dinner. A dozen plus nice restaurants are within a 2-10 minute walk. We did not have a bad meal in any of them, and it is an easy walk to the Hotel Mecure, which is a location you can give for a pick-up for any tours that you book.

I had forgotten to pack my bathing suit, but Ella came to the rescue, via text, by telling me the location of a store 10 minutes away where I was successful in buying one for $30 - cheaper than at home. (BTW, all of Budapest is a great bargain!) I needed it for the Szechenyi Baths the next day - highly recommended! Not that confusing and yes you are fully clothed! Just read Rick Steves account of it in his Budapest book if you have doubts or questions. We loved Budapest and had a wonderful trip. I won't go into the highlights or tours as those can be read elsewhere, but I wanted to say thanks to Ella and Viktor and give their place my highest recommendation. We would return in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location of this apartment is perfect. It is across the street from the central market and walking distance to everything in the old town. The restaurant downstairs was highly rated and it was very good. The apartment is spacious, well stocked and updated tastefully. Haj was a very good host and left some really good recommendations for the area.

This apartment is a gem. The neighborhood is wonderful and the apartment is lovely and comfortable. We stayed with two families including 4 young children and it could not have been better situated or equipped. There is a playground 2 minute walk away, lots of food and transportation options, including a lovely biodynmaic grocery store and a great breakfast place on the other side of the charming park. I would love to live here! We stayed for 10 days and truly felt like it was home. There is a great tub, several showers, A/C and a charming neighborhood. Highly recommend and cannot wait to come back! The owner was very helpful and had a cleaner come in 1/2 way through our stay.

From the time we booked this property until the time we left the property ever thing ran very smoothly. We were picked up at the airport and taken straight to the apartment. Every thing we needed was in the apartment. It was spotlessly clean. Very centrally positioned, close to the river and public transport. Really enjoyed Budapest, every one very friendly. What a great week.
