Budapest studio apartment

Budapest is cheap by most standards, so instead of cramming into a hostel, we got ourselves a studio apartment for the week, I was happy with the deal, six nights/seven days for €117, now that is value.

First you have to negotiate the front door, a access code will get you as far as the courtyard. A corridor was extremely cool, on the warmer days, a cool breeze seemed to flow through, it was always welcoming.

Once access is gained to the courtyard, a lift can take you to each level, or the better option of stairs. I didn't find the apartment block to be as social as I would have thought, people were polite but mostly kept to themselves.

The view from our balcony, you had better have a head for heights, despite a strong railing, you wouldn't want to fall. The construction of the railing was tight, no chance of small pets fitting through and falling to their death.

The one bedroom studio apartment combined the living room with sleeping area. Above the main bed hass a wooden frame with stairs leading to a sub-level, a second bed for couples can be found there. We had a kitchen but ate our most evenings, the price was cheap enough, why not?
