Beautiful apartment, nicely set up, nice location with very helpful hosts.

We recently had the immense pleasure of staying at Apartment Andrei while in Budapest for the World Athletics Championships, and it served as the perfect base for our holiday. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt as though we were temporarily staying at an old friend’s apartment while they were away. It was intimate and personal, unlike the feeling of most rentals. The interiors are exquisitely and tastefully decorated and was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, making our stay all the more comfortable. One of the standout aspects of our experience was the fantastic communication we had with John, the owner. He arranged for a pick-up from the airport and a warm welcome at the apartment where every feature was explained. And to top it all, the fridge was generously stocked with food and treats, an unexpected but much-appreciated gesture. The custom guide written by John about the area was not only informative but sprinkled with amusing anecdotes, making our exploration of Budapest all the more fun. Apartment Andrei is perfectly positioned. Overlooking the square and the stunning church. The apartment offers peace away from bustling traffic, yet the surroundings still brim with life and character. We could escape the tourist bustle and yet reach main attractions within a 10-minute tram ride. I can't recommend Apartment Andrei enough. If you’re seeking a true Budapest experience with a touch of luxury and unmatched hospitality, look no further.

The apartment is beautiful and John went above and beyond to be helpful, having someone meet and show us the property, providing breakfast and wine and making himself available to help with questions and suggestions. More than we expected and much appreciated.

This was by far the nicest flat I've stayed in when visiting Budapest over the years. Bakats ter is a picturesque square with a church in the centre and virtually no traffic. The balcony gives you an ideal view of the square and is large enough for two people to sit and enjoy a coffee. It also has some gorgeous stone statues that are consistent with the grandeur of the building. John has furnished his flat to an extremely high standard, including a large glass dining table with very comfy seating (which I mostly used as an office desk, but would be ideal for hosting dinners). The kitchen was generously stocked on arrival & check-in was very well organised, with a local contact on-hand if I needed anything. Some people might prefer to be in the dead centre of the city, but District IX feels much less touristy, has better amenities, and is just as close to many of the attractions. Literally can't fault a thing. The jazz cafe round the corner (Cafe Jedermann) is also fantastic & seems to be very popular with locals.

A really nice apartment on the first floor of a lovely old apartment block facing a church. Very quiet area a little way out from the centre of town but easy access into town and all the sites via tram or subway. Close to shops and less than 5 minutes to the river. The apartment was very well appointed and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owner has thought of everything and there is a wealth of information documented in the apartment for the first time visitor to Budapest like us. We would certainly stay here again if we come back to Budapest.

we had a beautiful stay in budapest thanks to John too. The apartment is full of everything, very clean and central. Thanks for the hospitality.

I have stayed at a lot of HomeAway/VRBO properties all across the world and staying at Apartment Andrei was by far one of the best experiences I have had. This was a vacation with my 26-year old daughter, and our good experience began long before we ever reached Budapest. Owner John reached out prior to our arrival with lots of great information about the city, an offer to arrange transportation to/from the airport (we did and it was perfect and reasonably priced), and even where to get the best bank exchange rates. John also wanted to know if we had any food allergies or preferences--both for restaurant recommendations and how to best stock the fridge--and if we preferred down or synthetic pillows. Seriously! When we arrived at the apartment--much larger than it looked in the photos--we were absolutely delighted. The apartment is very nicely appointed with art and antiques and has a warm and inviting feeling. Frankly, I don't think the pictures do it justice. The kitchen was also fully equipped, although we were so close to Raday utca lined with its many restaurants and a bakery right around the corner with so many yummy looking treats one could hardly choose, that why would one even consider cooking in the apartment. My daughter and I are both a bit compulsive when it comes to cleanliness, so trust me when I say the apartment was scrupulously clean and every amenity one could think of was on hand: handmade Turkish towels, guidebooks, movies, games and puzzles, extra toiletry items, all the makings for a good cappuccino, and even a few items in the fridge. Both the bed in the main bedroom and the sleeper-sofa (not the traditional fold-out as is typical in the US) were quite comfortable. Good water pressure in the bathroom, plenty of hot water, and multiple self-standing air conditioners, all contributed to our comfortable stay. And the location was PERFECT. The apartment was quiet yet centrally located with access to the tram just around the corner and nearby Raday utca lined with restaurants. And the apartment balcony, which faces a lovely old church and quiet square, was the perfect place for enjoying our morning coffee and local pastries. In short, the next time I am back in Budapest I will definitely stay at this apartment...truly a 5-star experience!

Put your faith in the descriptions of John and Jeanne's apartments, and the 5 star reviews that others have written - John, the owner, is truly helpful, as is his local apartment manager. The apartments are so well set up that it's hard to see what local help you might need, but you would certainly get their help if you need it. I had a great time here and would be delighted to return.
