Please note that this flat is strictly for residential use only: the apartment is a private living space. A home. No commercial activities, business operations, or client-facing services of any kind are permitted on the premises.
Experience the perfect blend of history and modernity in this recently refurbished apartment. Tucked away on the top floor (2nd floor) of a 100-year-old traditional brick building, this flat sits at the very end of the corridor ensuring extra privacy while overlooking the quiet, green inner courtyard where black thrushes sing. You’ll enjoy a unique view of the neighboring modern architecture—a striking visual of Budapest’s evolving skyline.
The Space
While the building maintains its historic character, the apartment is a bright, clean, and modern sanctuary. It is thoughtfully designed with high-standard amenities to make you feel right at home:
• Sleeping: A large, comfortable double bed (160x200cm).
• Tech: a flat-screen TV, the high-speed 5G WiFi is blazing fast and the flat is super quiet, making it the perfect hideout for digital nomads or expats.
• Comfort: Full Air Conditioning for those warm summer days.
• Kitchen & Laundry: Fully equipped with a gas cooker, microwave, coffee maker, fridge, and washing machine.
The Location: Multicultural & Lively
You are staying in one of the city’s most diverse hubs. Whether you want a quick 5-minute walk to the central Blaha Lujza tér or a quiet stroll through a local garden, everything is at your doorstep.
• Foodie Paradise: Explore a world of flavors with nearby Asian, Indian, and Persian eateries.
• Local Markets: Visit the Time Out Market Budapest (5 min walk) for trendy bites, or the Rákóczi tér Market Hall for authentic Hungarian flavors.
• Top-Tier Pizza: Don't miss the pizza manufactory at the corner of Víg and Déri Miksa—widely considered one of the best in the city.
• Local Hangouts: Grab a drink at the iconic Szabad Bisztró or Zsír Bistro, both just around the corner. Just as well the Roby's giant-pancake eatery.
Despite being located in a lively neighborhood, the apartment offers a peaceful retreat, overlooking a lush green inner courtyard where the sounds of the street simply fade away.
Greenery & Recreation
Need a break from the urban bustle? You are surrounded by local "secret" spots:
• Tolnai Street Recreational Garden: A hidden green gem for a quiet moment.
• Dankó Udvar: A charming community garden.
• II. János Pál Pápa tér: A massive park housing the Erkel Theatre, perfect for a morning run or evening picnic.
• Stay Active: Use the outdoor gym at the corner of Fecske and Déri Miksa.
Getting Around
With excellent public transport links nearby (including Metro lines M2 and M4, and the 4-6 tram), the entire city is within easy reach.
Choose the Józsefváros vibe and fall in love with the city!
Moving into this fantastic spot you will capture the "up-and-coming" energy of District VIII (Józsefváros) perfectly. It’s a neighborhood that has shed its old reputation to become one of the most authentic, architecturally and culturally interesting parts of the city.
However, to respect the quiet residential nature of the building, the flat is strictly for personal accommodation. No unregistered commercial or business services may be conducted from the apartment, and unregistered commercial visitors are not allowed. The flat is not for escort services, transactional, or short-term commercial base by any means.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
