Although not the greatest of first impressions, as it is situated down a very quiet side street, with what appear to be many empty buildings but with a lot of parked cars, it is in my opinion a perfect city hub.
Unfortunately our driver from the airport wasn't familiar with the property and dropped us directly outside the entrance foyer of the property.
It is unclear exactly when there, where to book in. Luckily a couple of cleaners were exiting the property and with the help of Google translate they were able to direct us to the correct area (for your assistance, if your facing the building, the office is 20-30m to the right of the building entrance.)
Once in the office we were greeted by a young lady (I hope, I have got her name correct) Imola, who quite simply was fantastic, after going through the formalities of checking us in, she then spent time explaining to us about the transport system of Budapest and where to get tickets, trams, metro and buses from.
She then gave us a map and marked on it all the places of interest that we may wish to consider and also somewhere close by to consider for a breakfast coffee and pastries.
She then directed us on how to gain access to the building and apartment.
Now to say that there is very little money wasted on the common areas would be an extreme understatement , as (4th floor at least) the landing is a rather sparse concrete floor with basic whitewashed walls but as it was only an access to our apartment was something that didn't bothered us.
Now I'm not totally convinced that we did not unknowingly get an upgrade with regards to the apartment as we booked a studio apartment but stayed in a one bedroom apartment ,oh well shucks, this consists of an open plan lounge, kitchen, dining area. Kitchen was equipped with fridge and half freezer ( more than big enough for our one bottle of water), coffee pod machine (with two coffee pods provided) kettle, toaster (not used), 2 ring hob (not used) and l then sink, there is also washing up liquid, sponge and drying towel provided. Would state that as there is no bowl, a plug for the sink would be good to assist washing up ( in our case a couple of glasses)
Bathroom has bath with shower over it, sink and toilet (all clean) there was also a washing machine with a liquid pod provided not used by us.
Lounge area consisted of two sofas which appeared to convert into three single beds, smart TV ( working) a side and wall cabinet.
Bedroom, although a little tight getting around the bed, it was comfortable and we slept well. There's also a wardrobe and two side table provided.
Although I wouldn't say the apartment could be classed as luxurious, personally for ourselves for the amount of time we actually spent each day in the apartment which basically is sleep, shower, coffee at the start of the day and a glass of red to wind down at the end of the evening, here was more than adequate.
Its location is very well appointed within easy reach of many trams, metro and buses from either end of the street. The Corvin shopping centre is very close to the property also.
