Book a flat anywhere in the world soon and the next 5-star review might be yours.
Room: comfortable mattress, pillow a little less so.
Walk-in wardrobe good for long stays.
Bathroom: perhaps the sore point of the flat: open shower, so the whole bathroom gets wet with every shower (so I always used the "hand shower"). There are 2 windows, but the opening is 3 metres high, so impossible to open the windows. The toilet smelled of urine, even though it was clean and I washed it often.
The internet connection was perfect and I was able to work from home. I wasn't able to use the TV, I wouldn't have watched it anyway because there are only Czech-language national TV channels.
It is in the old town, and tourists can be very noisy, especially in the evenings and at night, but apart from a few moments of stadium shouting, I always slept. I don't know if the situation is worse in the summer months. In any case, the noise does not come from the pub below, but from the 'tubs' that tourists make.
Ah, the flat is on the second floor, no lift, and the floors of the (historic) building are double, I counted 55 steps. So if you have heavy luggages, it can be a serious problem. You are asked to sort the garbage (I agree), however it is not clear how to distribute it in the bins on the ground floor.
At the end of your stay you are asked to clean the whole flat, including the washing machine to wash towels, sheets, tea towels, etc. and hang out the laundry, ready for the next guests to use. If you decide not to clean it, there is the option "the owner takes care of it" but it costs 80€, which seems excessive. I honestly thought it was included in the rental price.
The owner was kind and responded to my requests for clarification in a polite way, we met at the departure to check the condition of the flat and to hand over the keys.
In summary, it was a pleasant experience, which I would do again.
However, there is something strange when they asked us to pay the tourist tax of EUR 2 per day. We had a short term sublease contract, and it is supposed to be a different rule applied to the hotel industry (I could not ask for the return of VAT since it is a sublease).
They were not open about it since the start, as they were silent about this on their page. It was only during the last week upon arrival they started asking for it.
„Paní majitelka je velmi milá a přívětivá. Ochotný přístup a snaha vyjít vstříc.“
The elevator was broken, but that should be ok again soon.
The apartment itself is modern and very pleasant to live in. Moreover, it is very beautiful and very well located. In the heart of Budapest, transportation like tramway and metro are easily and quickly accessible.
Everything is provided for the best possible experience abroad. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Byt je ve starém činžovním domě, je potřeba počítat se všemi klady i zápory tohoto typu bydlení. Byt, ačkoli je malý, měl vše, co je potřeba, včetně téměř všech domácích spotřebičů. Internet fungoval bezvadně. Pár kroků od bytu je park, tram. zastávka do 5 min.
