“Great walking, so much to see and learn about in Budapest.”
+Lovely quirky accommodation in a historic beautiful building full of character. Nice to have kitchen available and coffee machine with pods.
−It was all as we like it. Despite the exceptional heatwave hitting Europe, the accommodation was as cool as it possibly could be due to the historic nature of the building.

“Very good location”
+The room was nice, large, located in an old building which if I understood correctly is partially monument so they can't make all the changes they want. The hosts were nice and welcoming. It's not a stand alone apartment, but a room in an apartment with private bathroom and access to a living area and a kitchen. There is also a room with shared bathroom in the apartment (but I think they are the only ones that use the shared bathroom, the difference is that they don't have access to it directly from the room, but passing through the living area). The check-in process was well explained and easy to implement. The area is very well located, near the metro, close to the stop of the airport express. Thre are many rstaurants and cafs in th area. The Danube is pretty close by.
−There is a bathtub in the bathroom and it has no curtain so if not careful one might spill water on the floor when using it.

“Great location, but can be noisy.”
+The room was big and clean, and the hosts are really nice.
−The property is an old apartment separated in different rooms, so depending on the other guests it can be noisy. Also you will hear the noise of the main street, and from Thursday to Saturday there is a club open next door, so if you're a light sleeper it could be a problem.

“Cozy hostelroom!”
+Very roomy room withing a (for me) nice architectural building. Easy to find, nearby a lot of nice place. The host Judit was very friendly and helpful.
−Nothing really beside it was very hot in the room (even after turning off the heating😊) and the window of the door always let some light through.I am used to sleeping in pitch dark so probably other people will have no issue with this. But all in all nothing major.

“Habitación con escalera dentro”
+Está muy bien situado. Se puede utilizar la cocina.
−La habitación tenía una escalera muy empinada, y arriba estaba la cama, en el suelo de una plataforma de madera. Esa habitación no la vi en las fotos y fue la que me tocó. Muy incómoda, para el precio que pagamos. El suelo de la cocina estaba pegajoso, no daba sensación de limpio.

+El alojamiento está cerca de los lugares de visita si quieres conocer la ciudad. Puedes ir caminando al puente de las cadenas, por ejemplo, en 15'. O coger el bus 72 en la parada de al lado para ir hasta la plaza de los Héroes. El bus que va al aeropuerto está a 3' caminando, pero solo para si es de madrugada.
−1. La entrada al alojamiento está en el mismo portal que la entrada a una DISCOTECA. Por la noche es horrible el ruido que hay: jóvenes gritando, bebiendo, el portero de la discoteca discutiendo con ellos, jóvenes orinando en la calle... En fin, muy desagradable. Imposible dormir y descansar. 2. La dueña suele ir por la mañana a limpiar las zonas comunes y luego se queda alli en la entrada hasta bien entrada la tarde, sentada en el sofá. Esto me sorprendió y me incomodó, ya que si quieres ducharte o cocinar, por ejemplo, ella está "vigilante". He viajado mucho y es la primera vez que veo esto en este tipo de alojamientos, donde realmente los dueños no viven.
