  Location fantastic, clean and tidy! Was able to check in early hosts really helpful.

  I had read the reviews about the noise outside but it was LOAD! Thankfully I brought ear plugs with me, if your a light sleeper forget it, if your not then book away! The communal stair case and entry doors where very tired and did freak me out a little but once inside the flat everything was fine!

  Low price per night, stylish design, great if you don't mind the noise and want to enjoy nightlife.

  The apartment was very affordable compared to similar options in Budapest. The interior design was stylish, the apartment smelled nice when we arrived, and the living room was cozy and comfortable for hanging out with friends.

  Unfortunately, there were several major issues, which probably explain the unusually low price compared to similar apartments. The biggest problem was the noise. We did not realize the apartment is located on the same street as one of the biggest nightclubs in Budapest. The bedrooms face the street, and sleeping there was almost impossible. Every night there was constant noise until morning; loud music, people screaming, fights outside, cars revving engines, police arriving, and general chaos. After the first sleepless night, we ended up sleeping on the living room floor with the bedroom doors closed, and we could still hear the nightclub and street noise clearly. If you are a light sleeper or looking for a peaceful, relaxing weekend in Budapest, this property is probably not a good choice. The second major issue was the toilet system. It honestly felt more like a boat toilet or a toilet system you would find in very low-budget accommodations. It makes loud pumping and suction noises throughout the day and night, even when not in use, and the sound can easily be heard through closed doors. There is also a note asking guests not to flush toilet paper and to throw it into a garbage bin instead. We were genuinely surprised by this setup. Looking through older reviews afterward, it seems this has been a known issue for quite a while. Another uncomfortable issue was the toilet door itself, which does not fully close. There is very little privacy, and people passing by can partially see inside. We also noticed older reviews mentioning the same problem, so it appears it has not been fixed. The entrance doors also did not feel very secure. They are lightweight doors with glass panels, covered only with frosted film. Considering the constant noise and chaotic atmosphere outside at night, we did not feel particularly safe, as the doors did not seem very sturdy.
