Hospitality Description: From 2011 to 2014, we embarked on an extraordinary 4-year honeymoon, traveling the world on two recumbent bicycles. Powered solely by our own strength, we pedaled 40,000 kilometers across 5 continents and 46 countries, experiencing the world up close and personal. Along the way, we encountered countless acts of kindness from people everywhere, leaving a profound impact on us. Inspired by this generosity, we’ve been dedicated to paying it forward ever since. 😊 We’re a flexible, friendly, and open-minded couple who love connecting with people from all walks of life. Having traveled extensively and experienced the world through similar home sharing platforms, both as guests and hosts, we understand the needs of travelers—whether they’re families or couples. We offer several options for our guests, and we’re open to Hospitality stays too! Hosting people in our home—or in the separate apartment right next door in the same courtyard (details below)—feels like traveling without leaving home. 😊 We love spending time with our guests whenever possible (amid the busyness of life with our three kids). However, we completely understand if you prefer to explore the city and its surroundings on your own, or if you just want to relax on the sofa, watch TV, or write in your travel journal after a long day. We’re flexible and happy to discuss what works best for you. Just drop us a message, and we’ll figure out the details based on your needs and our availability. If we cannot do simultaneous exchange and we’re not traveling during your stay and it feels too crowded for a Hospitality stay, we can move to our wider family’s countryside house in Vértesboglár, so you’ll have the entire apartment to yourself. By the way, you’re also welcome to stay in the countryside house if it suits your plans! (It’s not yet listed on PLU, but it has a separate apartment, a large garden with a trampoline and a toy house, and plenty of hiking opportunities nearby.)

Neighbourhood

Convenience: - 5-minute walk to a 0-24 convenience shop with groceries and daily essentials. - Supermarkets (Spar, Lidl, Aldi) within 5-10 minutes. Relaxation & Recreation: - 5-minutes away: Indoor/outdoor spa with thermal pools for adults and kids. - 15-minute bike ride to the City Park, featuring a hude playground for all ages and the famous Széchenyi Spa, Museums and more... Dining: - 3-minute walk to Italian pizza and wine restaurant. - 5-10 minutes to McD, Chinese, Vietnamese, pizzerias, gyros, kebab, and traditional restaurants. - Farmers Market 5 minutes away (open Fri-Sat morning, permanent indoor section open daily with local foods like Lángos). This is just the local neighborhood. The entire city of Budapest offers much much more, and we’d be happy to share personal recommendations based on your interests when you visit. If you're into running, Arpi would love to join you for a sightseeing discovery run during your stay in case of Hospitality stays.

Nearest airport

Budapest's airport is 25-40 minutes away from our home, depending on traffic. If you're staying with us (Hospitality) and we're available, we’d be happy to pick you up or drop you off. We have a 7-seater car with a roof box and 6 child seats, so there’s plenty of space for all your kids and luggage—no worries! :) A taxi to/from our home is from 11,000 HUF one way, for up to 6 people (if you don't have a lot of luggage). For larger groups (7-9 people) or more luggage, I recommend an airport van transfer, which costs around 25,000 HUF for both ways. It's a reliable option we've used many times. Public transport is also an option, at around 3,000 HUF, depending on how many lines you take. However, I don't recommend public transport as it takes at least an hour and involves a transfer. For groups of 4 or more, it’s not even worth it financially. Unfortunately, the train is not yet an option—perhaps in 2032... :)

Getting Around

By bike: We’ve got you covered with regular bikes, e-bikes, child trailers, and child seats. We’ve got enough gear to carry up to 6 kids by bikes! Even if we are cycle touring during your stay, some of these gears will be available for you - we can always discuss it in advance. Public transport: Budapest has great options, and it is inexpensive: e.g. a 72 hours pass cost you only 5500 HUF, and a monthly is 9500 HUF. Perfect if you want to explore more of the city. The second-oldest metro line in the world is here too—great for getting around quickly! If you're exporing Budapest by public transportation and would like to visit museums, take walking tours and river cruises, the Budapest Card can make things easier: - It gives you unlimited travel on public transport (trams, buses, metro, etc.). - Free entry to places like the Hungarian National Museum, Budapest History Museum, and Lukács Bath. - Includes guided walking tours of Buda and Pest, plus discounts on baths, restaurants, and river cruises. - Costs €73 (about 29,000 HUF) for 5 days, with 1–4-day options available too. By car: If you will share your car with us (especially if it is a 6 or more seater as we often travel with at least one gradma), we will do the same with our car. It is a quite new 7-seater family car. We can put on a huge roof box or 2x bike rack on its top if needed, so it can indeed fit 6-7 person, but the backseats are not really suitable for 180cm+ people. With 5 person only, it is a very comfortable, spacious car with a lot of luggage space even without the roofbox. To the city: The city center is just 20-30 minutes away from our house, depending on where you're headed and the time of day. Whether you’re biking, using public transport, or renting a car, getting around is super easy!

Feedback

  • We had such a lovely stay at Arpad’s home in Budapest. It was a nice modern apartment and was very comfortable for me and my two children. Arpad was an excellent communicator and the whole process was very easy. Budapest is such a vibrant and incredible city and Arpad’s home is so conveniently placed for easy public transport into the city in no time at all while still giving a quiet safe neighborhood to come home to in the evening. We are so happy that we got to stay there.

  • We contacted them at the last minute. But they welcomed us!! We were so happy to visit and meet Arpad and Zita and their three kids and moms. What a lovely sweet family. :) The place is so cozy and has a kitchen so my mum and aunty could cook(yes we cook in our holiday haha). They shared their precious meal....i don't understand how they could do it with three children and 3 of us!!! I really appreciate their hospitality and all the great tips about Budapest. One thing we regretted is we didn't have enough time to get to know and listen their amazing traveling stories!! I really hope we could meet again. And it was one of very successful stories of pls. :)

Arpad

We are a family with 3 children: Zita (mommy), Arpi (daddy), Luca Maria (2018), Julianna (2020) and Agoston Hugo (2022). Before the children, we cycled around the world as a honeymoon: in 2011-2014, we pedalled 40,000 kilometres in 46 countries. Since then, we've settled down more, but we still do a lot of travelling with the kids too. We love meeting people from all over the world, from all walks of life.
