First the good news:
The location is excellent and the room is clean. The kitchen has a microwave, stove, oven, etc so if you choose to cook you have all of the necessities. The TV is very good and you will have access to many English speaking stations. The sofa is very comfortable (see the bad news info, below). At this point you might be thinking what could possibly be the “Bad News”. See below.
When we arrived at the property we used WhatsApp to call the owner. No reply. We also used the entrance code to see if the checkin person was in the room. Again, no reply. After about 30 minutes the checkin person came down to the gate. Apparently we were to enter the complex and knock on the door. The instruction is not clear in the information material provided by the owner.
Once the checkin person came to great us we entered the room. Unfortunately, the individual does not speak English and thus we could not understand and portion of her information. When you enter the room you will see a small second level with bedding. The height of this section is about 4 feet high. We assumed that this was the sleeping area. Not good! We made adjustments to this issue by bringing the bedding from the second level to the main floor and used the sofa as our second sleeper. This modification was adequate. After our visit we contacted the owner to suggest that he install a sofa sleeper on the main level. To our shock, he indicated that the sofa was a sofa sleeper. Unfortunately we had no idea that this existed.
Another issue was the drain in the shower did not function effectively. It would take several hours for the water to drain. This would not be a significant issue if only one individual was showering. However, we are a married couple and thus it was a challenge for both of us to shower and not have a overflow problem. We contacted the owner to relate this issue and he intimated that we might have caused the problem! The problem was fixed just before our departure day. Enough said!
If you are coming from the Budapest Airport, there is a express bus (the second and last stop) that will bring you within 1/4 mile of the apartment. At the current exchange rate the cost is about $3.25, per person.
