Cosy, sunny flat in the best area - Gellert Square

Rated on: 06.06.2024 Length of stay: 9 months

This is a nice flat, in quiet District XI, but close to several major transit lines. I lived here for nearly a year, it is a great area to stay. The flat is perfect for a person or a couple, with the ability to host an overnight guest when needed. I highly recommend!

Neighborhood
The neighborhood is quiet but vibrant! Being on the Buda side, it is near the Danube and the Buda Hills while transit makes the city center easily accessible in around 15 minutes.

Recommended places nearby
Kelet Cafe & Hadik are great places to experience the vibrant literary and artistic culture of the district and the city.

Cosy, sunny flat in the best area - Gellert Square

I really enjoyed my stay in this flat and if I were to come back to Budapest, I would book this flat again before looking at any other options. It has everything I need, has a great landlady, and has an amazing location.

When you enter the flat, you are in a hallway with doors to the bathroom, bedroom, living room and a separate toilet. The kitchen is in the same hallway. The kitchen is not very big but it had everything I needed, including a ceramic hob, a kettle, pots, pans, plates etc. There is plenty of storage: basically every room had storage, cupboards etc. The bathroom has a bath (no shower), sink and washing machine.
The bedroom has a double bed with a good mattress. The mattress was relatively hard (which I don't mind).
The living room is the biggest room in the flat, which is great because this is where I spent most time. I used the small dining table to work and eat at, and there is a comfy sofa (bed). Both the bedroom and the living room have windows. There was plenty of light, but never any direct sunlight during my stay (in June), which is probably for the better given how warm the weather was.

Neighborhood
The flat is located in a side street off of Bartók Béla útca, the main street coming off the Liberty Bridge on the Buda side of the Danube. This side street is pretty quiet: there are few cars. You can sometimes hear the tram or traffic on the main street. There is an 11 pm curfew for bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity, so at night the whole area is very quiet.

There is a bus and tram stop at a 2-minute walk. Trams and buses into the centre come every few minutes, so you never spend a long time waiting, and it takes maybe 5-10 minutes to get to the centre. If you walk two minutes more, there is a metro stop so you're right on the metro network. If you cross the bridge to Kálvin tér, there is a direct bus to the airport.

Bartók Béla útca had the perfect mix of liveliness and quietness for me: it's on the more quiet side of the river (all the tourists spend their time on the east side), yet it's full of cute restaurants, cafés and bars.

Recommended places nearby
My favourites were Kelet for amazing coffee, breakfast and lunch, and Ultramarinos Martinez for a small piece of Spain in Budapest (they have great tapas). Most places I went to (including Kelet) were happy to have laptop users and it was never difficult to find a place to work for a few hours.

It was a great experience to live in this flat and meet Eva. She was always so helpful, thus, I could live without any difficulty. I was grateful to have her as a landlord. Also, the interior design was satisfying, though the kitchen was a little bit small. Regarding the location, it was located in a very convenient and safe area. You can take a tram or a bus whenever you want to. It was worth paying the high rental fee. I do recommend this place and her.

Neighborhood
Even the neighbours were kind and helpful.
