Great time in Budapest
My friend and I were spending a short time in Budapest and both Tom and the apartment were fantastic - Tom was so sweet and had a huge list of recommendations for food and things to do.The apartment was beautiful and the balcony was perfect for sitting on in the mornings to eat breakfast and look out on the street. I'd definitely book this apartment again the next time I'm in Budapest.

Great stay in Budapest
The Budapest apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable, and convenient to transportation & attractions. My wife & I had a great time there. Tom was a very helpful & pro-active host. Great information regarding location, check-in, transportation, and local area prior to arrival. He arranged transportation to/from airport for us as well. He had excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do. He was also very quick to answer questions during our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Budapest Beauty
It was such a pleasure staying at this apartment in Budapest. The location was ideal, lots to do and see within walking distance and a train station close by. Many restaurants and bakeries in the area. The apartment was beautiful and very comfortable for the two of us with everything we needed for a weeks stay. Tom, our host, was wonderful, arranging transport to and from the airport and giving us recommendations on activities that would be of interest to us. We had a great time in Budapest and enjoyed the accommodation.

We have just got back from four magical days in budapest, staying at this brilliant apartment. The place is fantastic, and Tomas is a very good host who can tell you places to visit. Its location is fantastic, in a beautiful old building with an icecream shop at the bottom. Convenient! Honestly, look no further, this is the place to go.

Great location. Spacious. Comfortable double and sofa beds. Small basic kitchen. Most importantly at the heat wave - a great modern air conditioner. Tom vey helpful. Downsides? A minor - Window shadowing not good enough for those who want to sleep late.

Budapest with a balcony
If you want to stay in Budapest, close to many of the main attractions, but not in a sterile hotel, this listing is the one for you. Lovely one bedroom apartment within walking distance of the Gellert Baths, Central Market Hall, merely two blocks from the Danube ... it's a great location and comes with a balcony overlooking Peres Palne u. Some information that others may leave out ... very close to restaurants lining Vaci u., but if you want to stop at a market, Lidl is only a 5 minute walk away (but this Lidl is very busy and crowded). There are other markets nearby in addition. There are bus and tram stops close by, and the Astoria metro stop is only 5 blocks away. The bedroom is very large, but the kitchen is fairly small. It has a refrigerator but no separate freezer compartment. There is a compact clothes washer but no dryer (we were able to dry our items with the clothes rack.) The apartment is in an older building ... part of the charm. However, the elevator closest to the apartment has its quirks and failed to operate several times. The apartment is on the 4th floor ... labeled the 2nd floor in Hungary. Ground is 0, there's a "half floor," followed by the 1st floor then the 2nd. Fortunately there's another (much more modern) elevator across the courtyard that serves when the old one is having its quirks. Really enjoyable stay in Budapest.

The apartment was exactly what we were looking for! Spacious, clean, fully equipped and easy to get to everywhere. We were met at the door, oriented and given ideas where to eat and what to see and made very welcome. We were a family (2 adults + 2 children). We had a wonderful time in Budapest and this will remain a highlight of our 8 weeks travelling in Europe! Thank you

Artistic delight
Entering this apartment is a treat each time: you know that much thought and artistry went into all aspects of the décor. We stayed in the one bed two bath unit, so it felt quite luxurious. I even got out onto the balcony a few times (in November). The location puts you within walking distance of most of the major attractions, including being only a few blocks from the Danube. Dealing with Tomas was very good, and we appreciated his arranging car services and providing some good guidance upon greeting us. He even carried our heavy suitcase up the three flights of stairs to the apartment!

My husband and I have just spent a wonderful week at Golden Stars Budapest Apartment. It was like a home away from home, right in the heart of this fascinating city. The apartment is perfectly located for museums, restaurants, public transport etc and is exceptionally well furnished with all the appliances and information a guest might need. Having been out of touch with friends and family for some weeks, the internet connection included in the tariff was a blessing! The apartment was spotless on our arrival and it seemed as if our every possible requirement had already been imagined and provided. Thank you, Tomas, for this memorable week in Budapest. We shall have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and look forward to our next visit.

Me and my boyfriend have literally just come back from staying at the Golden Stars and we LOVED it soooo much!! It is in a beautiful old building and like everybody says, it has a very homely feel to it and beautifully furnished. It even has candles you can use and a dvd player!! We even made arrangements with Tomas to come and collect us from the airport for a small fee which was great. It is so reasonable price-wise that when me and my boyfriend were being shown around, we wondered if we had the right place or had been mistaken for other people! We definitely want to stay here again as the apartment made the trip for us even more special. It was so nice to come home and relax in after a hard days sightseeing before dinner! Thanks for the recommendations to everyone! xxxx

Fussy Hoteliers approve
As a DE for Torremolinos and an owner of holiday flats (and hotelier for twenty years who got his hotel into the top consumer guide book in the UK) we passed a careful eye over this apartment. Other reviewers have detailed the location which could hardly be better. Booking went smoothly with prompt reply to queries and to the booking and payment for the holiday. You may need to set up paypal if you don't have it. We were met at the airport and taken straight to the apartments. Tomas met us and showed us to the flat in good useful detail. The building is interesting in its own right. The outside is a bit shabby - in a good way - and the entrance hall reminiscent of all those old spy movies. The lift is superb, ancient but smooth and very quiet. It worked except on one occasion which with the flat on the third floor was a bit of a struggle. The flat is quite a different matter. It has been well modernised and is entirely furnished by IKEA. It has one large room with a gossamer curtain down the middle to divide it into a sleeping and a sitting area. The furniture was very comfortable and there were little touches which showed care beyond the price charged. My only quibbles are the bed which is comfortable but set low and a bit of a struggle to get out of when you reach the age when leg and thigh muscles aren't enough on their own. The room curtains were too thin and couldn't be drawn properly From the front door there is a small hall with an OK sized kitchen on the right.It has a full hob and fridge and was perfect for two. It would be rather crowded for four. Next along is a small room with a sofabed and off this a full sized bathroom with shower and a washing machine. Drying was not so good. For two of us this meant that if one wanted to go to bed early the other could use this sofabed room for reading or work but if more than two were in the flat it would mean anyone going to the bathroom in the night would have to go through a sleeping area. The flat has free wi fi which was great for us as we kept in touch with our flat business here in Spain and managed to take a booking which we would have lost if we had relied on internet cafes. the internet speed was superb and I only wish it was as good here in Spain. I got very frustrated with my computer when I got home last night. There were VOIP options which we didn't use as I used Skype on my netbook. I would say this is an excellent flat for two but would be wary of more.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful city
Our beautifully renovated apartment, located in a 100+ year-old building, was centrally located just off the main walking/shopping street, and a 5-minute walk to the Danube River! Our host met us upon arrival, and spent a good half hour walking us through the beautifully decorated apartment, orienting us to the major sights of the city, and provided recommendations for several nearby restaurants - each of which were superb! We will definitely book this wonderful apartment on our next trip to Budapest. Thank you, Tom!
