Cozy 1 bedroom apartment in the heart of Budapest
Rated on: 07.08.2025 Length of stay: 13 days
We booked this apartment for a month expecting a quiet and peaceful place, as stated in the listing. However, we didn’t realize that the neighbor was practicing to become a DJ and played loud techno music. During the first week, this happened three times, starting as early as 10 AM. The noise was especially loud in the bedroom because the neighbor always kept the window open, and the entire wall vibrated due to the music.
When we informed the owner about this issue, he responded only after several days. Despite that, the neighbor continued playing music, sometimes until 10 PM ( the owner was aware of the neighbor’s DJ practice because he told us himself). We also discovered that the wall separating us from the next neighbors was very thin, like paper (it looked like it was one apartment that they divided into two using a thin wall). We could clearly hear noises from washing machines, shower, and running taps, which made sleeping very difficult.
Throughout our stay, we did not get a good night’s sleep even once. The owner always responded very late, and eventually, we had to leave and find another place, which was very challenging in the middle of summer. Communication with the owner was minimal and complicated.
We definitely cannot recommend this place. It is falsely advertised as quiet, but it is impossible to get any rest there. We travel all the time and rent apartments, but this was our worst experience.
