Apartments in Budapest

Luxury apartment next to Fashion Street
The location is very good, close to the Danube, the Opera, Synagogue, Jewish neighborhood, you can walk to all those areas and the Deak Ferenc metro station with the 3 main lines 200 m away; shopping area and with many restaurants and shops, but quiet. The apartment is very good, large dining room overlooking the street, two large bedrooms with separate entrances, although there is a glass door between the two. Full kitchen and two smart TVs, I was able to plug in my Firestick and watch Netflix. Very large and comfortable beds, there is a large sofa bed too, but we were two couples of friends and it was not necessary. In short, you can feel at home and save on dinners for less than a mid-range hotel and much more space and freedom. The heating works centrally, apparently, and was a bit strong, but to go around in short sleeves like at home. I would go back to Budapest, it pleasantly surprised me, and I would go back to this apartment.

Blue apt. with free garage
Nice fresh apartment, close to the public transport, easy to get around the city from here. There is an open rooftop with the chairs, amazing place to have a cup of coffee

New Faces Design Apartment in Downtown
Good stay overall, clear communication with instructions, beds were clean and comfortable, good water pressure and temperature in shower.

Brand New Apartment in the City Center
If you want a centrally located apartment this is perfect. The host was fabulous, we would highly recommend. Local tram stop 2 minute walk away.

ATLANTA apartment is in the heart of Budapest.
The place itself is very nice with everything you need, in a great location, and the host is very friendly and communicates very well. They had seen from my passport while checking in online that it was my birthday, and had left a card and a bottle of rose out on the table for me upon arrival which was a lovely surprise. They also messaged me on my birthday. This shows that they really go the extra mile for you. Could not recommend this airbnb more.

Luxury Beige & Brown Apartment
We had a great time staying at Majas place! Maja also was very responsive whenever we needed help with anything which made the whole experience so much easier for us. Everything was in walking distance for us (approximately 30-45 mins) but we noticed a lot of metro stations around too so getting around definitely isn’t a problem.

Downtown Heart 4bdr Jokai square, A/C, 5 stars
I had a great stay at this place! The apartment was nice, clean, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect and very convenient for getting around. The co-host Roberto was super supportive and keeps recommending places to visit, which really helped us make the most of our trip. Would definitely stay here again!

Charming Center Apartment 4/2
We stayed at Peter's place for 3 nights. We lacked nothing. The area was perfect, we could do everything on foot. In addition, the apartment was as described, super nicely furnished and everything was available. We highly recommend it:-)

Alles super, top Service

Beautiful cozy newly renovated, AC,Smart TV
I had a wonderful experience staying at Eva’s place! From the very beginning, she provided clear instructions, making the check-in process quick and hassle-free. She was extremely kind and attentive, always responding promptly to any questions or needs we had. The location was exactly as described in the listing—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped as the description said too. It’s clear that Eva puts a lot of care into hosting, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend her place, her as a host and will definitely return if I get the chance!

From booking to checkout, what stood out most to me was the flawless communication with Charlie. Other than that, the place was exactly as described and the facilities were clean!

Elegant Studio in Central Budapest
I spent three nights at Beata’s place as a solo trip in Budapest and I pretty much enjoyed it! The place was very clean and neat, matched the description perfectly, I felt right at home✨ The position is very convenient since it has many close public transports near and it’s also easy to reach the Parliament by foot.

Tail of the Whale Apartment
Great location, everything you need for a quick trip to Budapest, very responsive host.

3 BDRM 3 BTHRM apartman with AC
Everything was great! Easy check-in and Arpad was always available! Great place and quiet area! Everything available and in a good location, almost everything within walking distance. Around the corner there is a cafe "Anton" great coffee, cakes and small snacks. Only the espresso coffee machine in the accommodation did not work. Reported Arpad, he couldn't do anything now. We got coffee for the two days. But maybe Arpad could look at the coffee maker. But otherwise everything is perfect. Beds were great and the 3 bathrooms were perfect and a luxury for 5 people.

Charming Twin Studio "B" in the Heart of Budapest
The place was great - easy to find (the host gave us clear instructions); close to the centre and with lots of different methods of transportation. The studio was clean and tidy, with everything we needed. The host was friendly, the communication went smoothly. We were happy with our stay and had a great vacation!

All About Budapest
Hungary’s capital, Budapest, is a bustling metropolis in central Europe. The Danube River splits the city in two, and Budapest’s many bridges help reconnect it. Each bridge has a story behind its name and serves as a historical symbol of this cosmopolitan capital. Budapest’s cityscape is a mix of architecture, from classic Baroque and Gothic styles to sleek, modern buildings.
The best way to experience Budapest is to take part in local life. Explore public spaces, such as the lush City Park, and wander through the alleyways full of street art and make a detour to a pop-up flea market for a unique souvenir. Throughout your city journey, find one of the many thermal, outdoor baths scattered throughout the downtown area. Budapest also hosts several festivals throughout the year. For more insight into Hungary’s compelling history, you can visit one of Budapest’s national museums.
