We love that the apartment is located in one of the most famous streets of downtown Budapest: Ráday Street, where shops (Spar), schools, museums (Nemzeti Múzeum), restaurants (Jedermann, EscoBar, Claro, Maverick) are just a few minutes away. St. Stephen's Basilica and the Dohány Street Synagogue are also within walking distance (or by tram). If you want some green environment, just stroll down to the river bank of Danube (6-8 mins on foot), where you can walk, run or cycle. The location of the apartment is good, everything is easily accessible on foot and by public transport.
The Space
The apartment is a bourgeois apartment, but modernly furnished, with photos (taken during our travels) and paintings on the walls, and large bookcases. It has 100 square metres, a kitchen, a living room (with sofa bed), two toilets, a bathroom (shower and bath), a children's room (with bunk bed, down 200x160, up 90x200), a bedroom (with double bed 200x200) and a guest room (with 2 mattresses). It is ideal for four people, but can sleep an extra three people on the sofa and 2 mattresses if necessary. There is a children's room where guests can play with their toys, and a playground and sports playground nearby. On the corridor - gangway it is the last apartment, so no one passes in front of the apartment, we have put there a small table with two chairs where you can sit. You can see from there a fire wall with ivy and wild grapes and a garden.
Guest Access
The apartment is on the fourth floor, in a gangway - for those who get dizzy at heights, it can be dizzying.
The key is given by a friend and in a keybox.
Notes
TOP ATTRACTIONS IN BUDAPEST:
There are numerous exciting cultural programs to choose from, and not even the sightseeings, but the everyday buildings are impressive too. It's always nice to take a pleasant stroll through the Castle District, the City Park, Váci Street or the Danube Corso.
The neo-Gothic Parliament, the largest building in the country.
Heroes' Square is one of the symbols of Budapest, built for the millennium celebrations in 1896.
In the Buda Castle District, the viewing terraces of the Fisherman's Bastion offer an unparalleled panorama.
The Citadella on top of Gellért Hill is an iconic location in Budapest: you can see the Buda Castle, the Parliament, the Danube bridges, the Pest side and the Buda hills (Unesco View).
Budapest is not only the capital of Hungary, it is also the capital of spas. Whatever spa you go to in Budapest (Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő, Szent Gellért Gyógyfürdő), you are guaranteed to be fully recharged: thermal pools, steam rooms, saunas and massage treatments to relax!
Those interested in history should visit museums or the House of Terror.
There are many excellent playgrounds and green areas in the city: the Városliget City Park (Városligeti Nagyjátszótér), Margaret Island (Margit-sziget), and Gellért Hill (with its slide park Gellérthegyi Csúszdapark) or Normafa.
There are famous pubs like Szimpla, Auróra, Gólya, Csiga or pubs on Mikszáth tér square,
Near Budapest, Szentendre, the city of artists, is well worth a visit - it's very easily accessible. Its cobbled streets and charming buildings are impressive and there are many museums to visit - including a marzipan museum.

Neighbourhood
The apartment is located in the centre of Budapest, 8-10 minutes from Kálvin Square, in the popular Ráday Street, known as Gastro Street, which is full of bars, restaurants, ice-cream parlours, pastry shops, but as we live in an inner courtyard, our windows do not directly face the street. It's also worth sitting in the cosy terrace bars of the Bálna, which overlook the Danube and Gellért Hill. There are shops (Spar, Aldi) and a large shopping centre nearby (Corvin Pláza). There is a Nepalese, Indian, Italian, Korean, etc. restaurants on the street, the Jedermann bar, which often has music (inside terrace), the If Jazz Cafe, and the Budapest Music Centre.
If you like museums and exhibitions, the National Museum is within walking distance, or if you like market shopping, you can visit the Vásárcsarnok Market, a favourite by turists, and stroll along Váci Street, Budapest's most famous shopping street. The Danube is a five to ten minute walk away, with a playground and green belt on the banks. A 20-minute walk across the Liberty Bridge takes you to the Gellért Spa, famous for its thermal waters, or to the Gellért Hill (Liberty statue and playgrounds (Gellérthegyi Csúszdapark/Vuk játszótér).
The St. Stephen's Basilica is also worth seeing (you can go up to the tower), and the Parliament is open to visitors.

The Father is a mathematician, the Mother is a philologist, so we each do our bit to teach our kids. We both love a good book, a good movie, and when we can, we get out in nature or go on hikes. Our two children are ten years old, a boy and a girl, and we want to pass on the same way of life to them. We travel a lot, and when we can, we also go on trips in the spring and autumn holidays, in addition to the summer holidays. We parents have travelled all over the world, but with the children we have only visited the Mediterranean coast and a few islands.
