I wanted to take a few moments, and document my experience renting Viktor's flat in Budapest. First off, our contact with Viktor was almost immediate (within 1 hour) of booking his flat on VRBO. He was the most gracious host, even before meeting us. I was traveling to Budapest from Krakow, with my oldest daughter (15) to meet with some friends. Our travel arrangements unfortunately had us arrive in Budapest at 0430 hours in the morning, which ended up being no problem at all, since Viktor provided me, personally, with detailed directions/instructions on locating the flat from Népliget station.
Viktor was waiting, personally I might add, at the flat when we arrived at around 0530 hours. He welcomed my daughter and I very warmly, and began to make our stay very relaxed, by explaining how to use the electronic devices, the central air conditioning unit, and all the other extras his flat provided. I bet he spent at least 30 minutes ensuring our stay was the best Budapest had to offer. We needed only our clothes, and bathing items, as EVERYTHING was provided for in the flat.
The linens were very clean, and smelled fresh, both beds (especially the waterbed in loft) were extremely comfortable. The pantry was full of coffee, tea, cappuccino, and all the items needed to cook your own meals. The kitchen was not missing a single item needed to cook your own meals, if this is what you like doing. The refrigerator was big, the freezer had plenty of ice and ice trays, and it even had a new dishwasher to wash everything for you after an awesome meal.
The shower and bathroom were squeaky clean, and the massaging shower heads were heaven. The flat also provided a washing machine, and several drying racks to hang laundry on. I could not have felt safer in the neighborhood, and the flat is so centrally located, we walked the majority of both Buda, and Pest. The area around the flat hosts about every type of food a person would love and most are open very late.
The wifi worked flawlessly, and the satellite television up and downstairs provided much entertainment. The air conditioning gets cold if you like it that way, and the flat provided plenty of room to stretch out. I can not remember any noises that kept me awake, nor any complaints about the flat worth remembering. To make the stay any better than it already was, Viktor allowed us to check out at 2000 hours versus 1200 noon, due to our departure time from Budapest being at 2200.
