Spacious Home in City Center with Danube Views
We absolutely enjoyed staying in this lovely and spacious apartment, with a stunning view on the Danube river and the Liberty Bridge. All the rooms were very clean and welcoming. We highly recommend Kim’s accommodation, as it is ideally located near Gellert and Rudas baths, and the metro/bus/tram stations are just a few steps away.

Great location, nice place

Basilica view II Central apartment
The location is perfect. The view of the Basilica from the bay window is spectacular. You are in the middle of all the action and walking distance from most places. The apartment is spacious for two people. The building is very old, so it is going to have "character". Be prepared for it. It was very helpful to have Kata let us in and gives us the tips for elevator, common lights, washer, heater, external window blinds, gas range, etc. But, everything works. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and dishes. Kata really cares that you have a great time. She was prompt with replies. Had lots of suggestions. Went out of her way to check availability of night river cruise. She is a top host.

Grey & White Home ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ by Zoltan + Bikes!
Zoltan was the best. I love it when the host meets you on your check in and he was super friendly. He was such a good communicator before we arrived and was very kind. He was flexible with our check in which we were very grateful for. Zoltan provided so much information on what to do in the city and country. His place was so clean and provided everything you needed. We loved the location as well as it was walking distance to everything In Budapest but still remained on a quieter street. A Penny supermarket is 100m from the address which was so handy. We rented a car and Zoltan provided great instructions how to park on the street, we were lucky enough to get a park in front of the address on a Friday night. Lastly, Zoltan assisted us with a personal matter and it shows he goes above and beyond for his guests. Thanks for everything mate.

Classical apt w/ free luggage storage
It was a clean, comfortable, and very nice accommodation. There's no better place than the photos, but it's really clean. It felt like a house that the host cherished. I went to three places that recommended restaurants. Everything was really delicious and good:) I'll stay here again next time. I recommend, recommend, and recommend it again!!

Full Panorama to the Danube
Absolutely wonderful apartment, exactly as described and in the photos. Zsuzsu was very easy to communicate with. Lots to see and do in the immediate neighbourhood. The apartment was beautiful, clean and the view from the balcony is incredible especially at night!!

Professional Bijou Apartment
Thank you, Anett, for the warm welcome. The bottle of water and beer were a very nice surprise! The apartment looks exactly like on the pictures, and has everything you need. The location is also great — it's a 30-minute walk to the centre, or 20 minutes by tram or subway. The neighbourhood was also quiet and safe. Anett gave me very clear instructions. I enjoyed my stay.

Tailor's Home in Budapest
We truly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. Antonia and Andrew were kind and responsive, and communication was great throughout our stay. The location was perfect. We’d happily come back!
Other great vacation rentals in Budapest

Luxe, Historic Home near Downtown Landmarks
This was the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in. The location was convenient to explore the city. The apartment felt safe. I was thankful for the elevator as it’s on the top floor but was also up for the challenge of the stairs many times. My family of 5 loved the apartment and spreading out. The bedrooms are all king size beds and beautiful! I want to go home and redecorate our house to match! The bathrooms were great and I appreciated that I could do a load of laundry before leaving for the next place. Peter was proactive with communication. We explored the city by foot and mostly by subways so this location worked well for us. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Rooftop Retreat • Sky-high Jacuzzi & Views
Absolutely amazing apartment to stay in when visiting Budapest. Super modern and relaxing when touring the city (especially the private hot tub) The hosts were great - very friendly, responsive and helpful. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Style and Luxury by Parliament and Liberty Square
Everything was wonderful in Stephen's place, but beyond compare was the wonderful location. So much to see in beautiful Budapest and it was all easy to find and get to from here! The unit was very quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Classic Luxury in the Heart of Budapest
Great apartment nice and big . Excellent location with cafes and nightlife just outside your door .. We walked everywhere which was easy from the apartment . Highly recommend

Bluebeard's Castle - Opera House, City Center
This was hands down one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at! The location was perfect and the apartment itself was spotless, one of the cleanest I’ve ever been in. All the amenities included were way beyond what I’ve experienced before (perfect working AC, laundry machine, drying rack, spacious shower). It also had the most comfortable bed and pillows, sleeping here repaired my stiff neck from a few nights in another city. Access was convenient and the area felt really safe. You won’t go wrong booking this place, highly recommend!

your BASE-ment Inn Arts & Garden
We had a great time at Sebastian's flat. It's a cozy, quirky little place that looks just like the photos. It is very close to a major public transport hub yet very quiet. Sebastian is a super friendly host with a lot of tips on what to do in the city. He was very flexible and communicative. To note, the flat is up a steep street and only accessible by stairs, so may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility. For everyone else, definitely recommend!

Modern design in a charismatic building
Bertalan’s place is truly amazing. The apartment is beautiful, superbly decorated, equipped with everything you need. Communication with the host was perfect. Host is extremely nice, even left some cherries in the fridge for us. I would return there anytime and recommend to friends. If you think booking it, don’t think twice.

Budapest Spa Design Apartment right in the Centre
Russel & Andi’s apartment is beautiful; very clean, stylish, and in a great location. The hot tub was amazing, perfect for relaxing after a day out in Budapest. They were brilliant hosts, really friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

Your guide to Budapest
All About Budapest
Hungary’s capital, Budapest, is a bustling metropolis in central Europe. The Danube River splits the city in two, and Budapest’s many bridges help reconnect it. Each bridge has a story behind its name and serves as a historical symbol of this cosmopolitan capital. Budapest’s cityscape is a mix of architecture, from classic Baroque and Gothic styles to sleek, modern buildings.
The best way to experience Budapest is to take part in local life. Explore public spaces, such as the lush City Park, and wander through the alleyways full of street art and make a detour to a pop-up flea market for a unique souvenir. Throughout your city journey, find one of the many thermal, outdoor baths scattered throughout the downtown area. Budapest also hosts several festivals throughout the year. For more insight into Hungary’s compelling history, you can visit one of Budapest’s national museums.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Budapest
Budapest has four distinct seasons. During the hot summertime, you can lounge by one of the city’s swim-friendly outdoor baths. Winter can be cold and rainy and you might see snow if you visit Budapest from December to March. Holiday markets and an outdoor ice skating rink at City Park will also keep you busy this time of year. When spring arrives, Budapest hosts the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, and you can picnic near the bright purple cherry blossom trees in full bloom through April. Autumn is cool and comfortable, and a busy time for local festivals. One of the city’s well-known events during fall is the international wine festival at Buda Castle. There are a variety of vacation rentals in Budapest from downtown lofts and vacation apartments to luxury rooms and everything in between.

Top things to do in Budapest
Museum of Fine Arts
Discover some of Europe’s most impressive artwork at Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts in Heroes’ Square. The museum’s neoclassical design is a work of art in itself, and the building has undergone reconstruction over the last several years. Its diverse art collections include classical antiquities, master paintings, sculptures, and regularly changing temporary exhibitions.
