Great location!!
The location of the apartment was great. Very clean, well equipped, and we paid extra to use the air-condition for the duration of our stay. The only "not-so-good" impression is the condition of the lift, which is quite old and small in size (struggle to fit in 3 adults if each carrying a backpack).

In Budapest in most of the elevators are same old cable list construction. But that is not mean that would not be safe. They are controlled many times. In the 5 th floor building the locals using all of the day with out problem. In case one of two would be out if service the other one is surely working. I never heard about any old elevator accident in Budapest. But heard about ski-lift problem many times...

Owner/manager is extremely helpful. Called taxi to arrange our 4:00am ride to the airport and it was right on time. Helpful brochures available in the apartment for subway, maps, etc. Elevator is a little scary, but no problems whatsoever. Felt very safe. Great location to subway, restaurants. Walked from river cruise dock to apartment, with luggage. Would definitely recommend.

Quiet and comfortable
The apartment is in the middle of town in a very nice neighborhood. There is nothing scary or creepy about this place. It is typical of most, if not all European apartments. It is an old building complex on the outside but with a very modern apartment inside. Almost to modern, as I wasn't a fan of the glass doors. It is fully stocked with all the essentials and then some and was very clean. Our host greeted us upon arrival and briefly went over the town on our map and pointed out a couple of nice restaurants. We had a wonderful stay at the apartment at a price that can't be beat.

Doing the best they can on what they can control
We arrived late but the apartment owners were able to accommodate. Norbert, who received us, was excellent in terms of the service and providing an overview of the city for us. Couldn't have asked for better. Generally comfortable stay there, with little to complain about. Main heating system was a piece of joke, but the owners had a separate portable heater in the room which helped. The route from the building's main entrance to the apartment room (on the fifth floor) was a little scary, but I guess that's what you get for a central Budapest apartment. Beyond that, it is an ideal location.

"The route from the building's main entrance to the apartment room (on the fifth floor) was a little scary" Would have been to know what was the scary exactly? More then 100 years old tipikal Budapest building with court yard -what is also tipikal in Budapest-. There was a small electric reconstruction in December at the main entrance door.... So would have been to know exactly what was them problem.

Very well located, clean and tidy.
Stayed for 5 nights. Apartment was well equipped and clean. Owner who met us was very helpful in recommending places to go and local shops also. location was fantastic, within walking distance to most attractions and 30 seconds from the main shopping strip and metro station. Only negatives were the location of the metro station!, could hear everytime a train arrived, and the glass door on the bathroom. On the whole though i would thorougly recommend this to anybody thinking of staying in Budapest

Central Location, Quiet, Helpful management
Stayed a week - basic accommodation - right in the center of Budapest - walking distance to everything - management gave us a guided tour of the neighborhood - unfortunately the close by laundromat was being renovated and we did not find another. The email sent to give us access gave us a "heads up" in respect to Budapest's Taxi Service - and that was useful. I would stay there again

Central location - on a quiet courtyard
I loved this apartment. It was clean, modern, and had everything I needed to feel right at home. It was right in the middle of Central Budapest with a major shopping area and metro stop right outside, but it was quiet inside because the apartment was on a courtyard. The kitchen had everything you need to make your own breakfast or dinner if you want. The living room was a nice chill space to relax in if you needed some "down" time. It was hard to leave -- the apartment, the proprietor, and the city of Budapest were so welcoming. I definitely plan to come back and stay here again! I've already recommended it to friends.

Great Location - tired property
The apartment is in a fantastic location right next the Metro station and within walking distance of all major attractions the property however could do with a bit of maintenance. Nothing serious just a lick of paint and some cracked plaster fixing. The apartment was however very clean and tidy with everything you would need. One thing that we did find strange was that the double bed had 2 single duvets - not conducive to that romantic evening and the air conditionng wasn't working (I think this costs extra anyway). The owner gave us a detailed run down of where things were in the city, where to go and where to avoid. Overall good value for money

Brilliant Location ! Great Apartment
Stayed here with my boyfriend last week for our summer holiday. The apartment was fantastic , really roomy with a full lounge and table. Nice and modern with great kitchen facilities. The location is so good as well as the security of the building. Main tourist sites are super near and two metro stations within a short walking distance. Manager here was very nice and welcoming giving us maps / guidebooks and a general overview of the surroudning area and where the best places to go where. He even booked our cab for us to the airport. Also very understanding of keeping bags for us as we had a late flight. Overall experiance was great , much better than a hotel, felt like a home away from home.

I didn't get the chance to stay. After we were met outside and went through a little scary corridor barely big enough for three people and the same sort of elevator and got to the room, we were shown around, nice bathroom wasn't very keen with the bed and sofa. Anyway I went to the UK for some days before coming here and encountered some problems there, when I got to Budapest, someone took my luggage as well. I asked the guy if it was okay to pay the day before i check due to my problems, and I have a child with me. He made a call and the guy at the other end spoke at length, eventually I had to speak to him, he was loud and wouldn't agree to what I was saying, he kept asking when I could pay and when I answer he asks the same again. I finally told him I'll sort something out right away so he should give me til the next day cos to go to Atm. I gave the phone back to the guy with us and there was another long conversation, in the meantime, I had made a call and sorted things out but I didn't get the chance to to tell that cos I was told that if I couldn't pay right away i should leave, I showed the guy a message that confirmed that I've sorted things out but said I don't want to stay. He said he understood and was very kind to give me WiFi to find another hotel. I suppose i should thank the unsympathetic man cos I found a nicer hotel, with breakfast and AC much closer to the city centre at 8 euros less a day. With very nice and helpful staff.

As not everybody like to use aircondition is not everybody want to pay for that. Lot of people looking for budget place to stay. Because of this the aircondition fee is not build to the price. In every website on the descriptions there is written the aircondition fee. 5 Euro/day We ask the guest at arrival that they would like to use that or not. So if they decide that they do not want to use we do not understand the complean about that... Thank you for suggestion to better equipped the kitchen but exatly what was missing for 3 days? stove, microwave, pots, pan, pans, colander, plates, knives, knife sharpener, cup, cup, mug, toaster, kettle, and COFFE MAKER We do not understand the complean about the coffe maker at all. It is a normal filter coffe maker with coffe and filter. So they have not need to buy anything extra. The guest forgot to write about the late check-out possibilite. As they asked to stay till 6pm. Of course we let them. We are really sorry that on some website do not present the accomodations well. We are really sorry that the holiday apartments mean different in other part of the world. In Budapest every offered apartment in an old building in private area. Private accomodation in private apartment for budget travelers. We could have only one ask please do not rate a private apartment like a 5 starts hotels.

Great apartment, location and price.
Compared to the price of even the most basic of hotels this apartment is great value. A really large apartment on the 5th floor of this 19th century building. Based right in the heart of Budapest's city centre. All the facilities you would need, including wifi at no extra cost, clean and modern. This is a great place to stay and explore the city.

The apartment was comfortable, quiet and close to major attractions. There is no 24-hour desk as advertised. You need to contact the owner to make arrangements to enter the building. The apartment has a washer but no dryer. The hotel site says that credit cards are accepted but the owner asked for cash when checking in. Excellent price.

Excellent location, fabulous apartment
We stayed for a week in September and we couldn't have found a better place! On arrival the owner had given us a lot of useful advice on sightseeing, travel, shopping, eating out and even good exchange places in Budapest and provided us with maps of the city. The apartment is located in the centre of the Old Town, in Buda, and this location is perfect for sightseeing. There is a metro station and bus stops and tram just few meters from the flat. The place is spacious with double bedroom with a comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen (including the coffee machine!), living room, with a dining table for 4, sofas and a second double bed, and a clean, modern bathroom. All the furniture are modern and new, and the place is nicely decorated and clean. There is a fast wifi in the apartment as well, which is included in the price. Can highly recommend this place and we will definitely stay there again next time we visit Budapest!

The perfect stay
Such a great place at such a good price! The apartment has everything you need even clothes pegs! The man who met us to let us in (we think its Andras, was welcoming and helpful). We were very happy with how quiet and peaceful the hotel was even when it was right in the centre. There is bike hire right round the corner and its easy access to public transport although we found we could walk most places. Would recommend to anyone who wants to pay a reasonable price for city centre location to choose this place.

Great apartment with perfect location
My friend and I stayed at the PET apartments over Easter weekend. We were so pleased with it! Both of us had dietary restrictions, making it difficult to eat out. So, having a functioning kitchen was PERFECT! The beds were comfortable and all of the amenities were good. The apartment we were in had one room and a pull out bed. There only two of us, but the apartment could easily sleep two couples. The location was also perfect. It is close to many of the main attractions and only a few minutes walk to the major metro station. The only downside was that there was no place for us to leave our bags the day we left after we checked out. We were fortunate to find another hotel that would store our bags before we left the city for our flight home, but it was definitely a drag.

Affordable Comfort
The apartment is large with 2 rooms and high ceilings. The interior is IKEA modern. The 2 full size beds and furniture are comfortable. The fully stocked galley kitchen makes it easy to buy groceries and cook, have a morning cup of coffee or make a quick sandwich before heading out the door to see the sights. Overall very clean; easy check-in and check-out; do bring your own toiletries including body wash; in the city center on a pedestrian street; you can walk out the door and immediately go shopping, grab a bite, check out a museum or take the metro. I would definitely stay here again.

Vacanza memorabile a Budapest,
Appartamento situato in posizione centralissima e strategica per l'utilizzo dei mezzi pubblici. Io e mia moglie siamo stati molto colpiti da come abbiamo trovato l'appartamento: la pulizia generale delle stanze, del bagno e della cucina. Era fornito di asse da stiro, forno a microonde ,wi-fi, lavatrice e cassaforte. Il clima disponibile con un piccolo sovrapprezzo. Veramente non avremmo potuto chiedere di meglio.

Huippupaikalla , talon ylimmässä kerroksessa oleva huoneisto. Palvelu toimi, vaikka lentomme oli myöhässä viisi tuntia ja olimme perillä yöllä klo 02.30. Isäntä oli vastassa ja opasti yksityiskohtaisesti talon käytänteet. Ainoa miinus vierailussa, että ilmastointilaite meni rikki ja sitä ei saatu toimimaan. Siisti huoneisto, eikä liikenteen melu häirinnyt yhtään. Edullinen hinta.

Hyvä huoneisto Pestin keskustassa
Aika erikoinen paikka. Ei ollut varsinaisesti hotelli, mutta kaikki toimi kuitenkin loistavasti, vaikka se jäi harmittamaan, että hinta nousi yllättäen viime hetkellä. 30 euron siivouslisä tuli edellisenä päivänä sähköpostilla ja se kerrottiin vasta paikanpäällä, että ilmastoinnista piti maksaa 5 euroa/päivä. Todella siisti ja sijainti ei oikeastaan voisi olla parempi. Rakennus itsessään rähjäinen, mutta huoneisto vastikään uusittu ja loistokunnossa. Hyvät tilat neljälle hengelle.
Response from Andras Szabo on May 17, 2018
We are really sorry the misunderstand about the price. On the booking websites on the description of the apartment there is written that there is an extra 30€ cleaning fee per stay and the air conditioned room 5€ extra/day. This information also was written on the booking confirmation what the guest got from the website after the booking. Because sometimes the peoples do not read the descriptions on the confirmation we ask attentions of our guest ones again before the day of arrival.

Fin lejlighed med fantastisk beliggenhed
Lejligheden var super fin og, med udtagelse af badeværelset, som var ret småt, men eller rigtigt pænt, var lejligheden en del større en vi havde forventet. Den ligger på 5. Sal, dog er der ingen udsigt da vinduerne vender mod gården. Den "antikke" elevator, som en del herinde ikke brød sig om, fandt vi super charmerende og den funerede fint. Ejeren af lejligheden var flink til at forklare og informere om byen (seværdigheder, turistfælder, m.m.). Beliggenheden var perfekt med 50 m til shoppinggaden Vaci Utca (Hardrock Cafe, Zara, Mango, etc.) og ca. 5 min gang til kædebroen hvorfra man kan gå til bl.a. Buda Castle. Udover det ligger lejligheden også tæt på andre seværdigheder, supermarkeder og party/cafe bydelen District 7.

Una casa in centro a Budapest
Si tratta di un ampio bilocale dotato di tutto il necessario per trascorrere a Budapest alcuni giorni in totale autonomia. E' in zona centrale ma estremamente silenzioso. L'arredamento è discreto comì come il design anche se quest'ultimo non sempre corrisponde a praticità infatti la porta a vetro che divide la zona giorno da quella notte da fastidio perchè al mattino presto entra la luce piena. Qualche altro piccolo particolare sottotono ma nel complesso il giudizio su questa struttura è molto positivo, da consigliare sicuramente. Molto gentile e paziente il ragazzo che ci ha fatto il check in.
