Karma Boutique Apartments

Renewed, we'll presented, silent as it is a first floor in an interior partio. It has a mini kitchen and everything you need for a stay quite in the center. Definitely being in a quiet place to sleep at night and still being centric is great. Walking distance from tourist points and public transport too. One tour guide recommended the Menza restaurant in front of it to us and it was great. The only negative remarks are (1) you can't leave your luggage before 10.00 am before check in or after check out, as it depends on the timetable of the Irish pub downstairs. For us I this was an inconvenience, as we were arriving and leaving early due to commitments. (2) there are no wardrobes.

It was a bit difficult to contact the property before the stay as the phone number in the email had nothing to do with this property. Luckily, the lady from the other company found out a mobile number for the right person. When we got to the house there was nobody there, although we had arranged a time for our check in. After standing in the rain for 10 minutes I noticed a small sign on the wall asking us to call into the pub next door to pick up the keys. There was a lovely man there enjoying his lunch. Bad for him, he had to leave his lunch and show us the apartment, which was all fine. There is a lift, which we didnt use as the apartment is on the first floor. It was a lovely and clean flat. We loved it. There qere no issues, we were vwry happy. It is a great place to stay, very central with lots of shops, a square full of restaurants, great transport facilities. We had lots of clean towels, tv, and fairly stocked kitchen (utensils were enough). There is no dishwasher or washing machine -but we knew that. Checking out was easy. Wifi worked well. We found a phone number for a person in case there was a problem. But for us there wasnt any. We had a great time.

The check-in service was was beyond rude. We arrived at 1:50 PM and had to check-in at the Beckett’s bar per the instructions on the door. So we went there and the staff (two women) coldly told us to just leave our luggage and take a drink at the bar. We left our luggage and decided to get food at another bar close by. When we came back at 3:30 pm (past check-in time of 2 pm) one of the staff (female, mid 20’s short pixie cut hair) mumbled Hungarian while rudely staring at us. She called the host again and said she’s running late. She then sighed multiple times while we were there while staring at us. When we left she continued staring and said some more Hungarian language. She gave a bad vibe from the beginning. The host, Lucia, was friendly and provided an orientation of the apartment. The apartment was clean, spacious, and centrally located. Close to metro station, 3-4 minute walk. Good experience staying there but never experienced such RUDE staff while in Europe.

The location is good, close to trams 4&6 and metro Octogon. The check in was complicated - we came to the door, but it was locked , no instructions was sent to us; luckily the next door bar tender saw us and let us into his Irish bar to wait for the owner to come. The apartment itself is very big, but A/C is only in the living room,in both bedrooms we were using floor fans( temperature outside was +32 C) Taking the shower for the first time we noticed that the drain was completely clogged, so that we were standing in ankle deep water and it was leaking to the floor as well. We reported the problem and the owner came next day and tried to fix it, but said she couldn’t. So we had to fix it ourselves. Also it was no shampoo/ body wash in the shower and no shelves to put it on; just the soap on the sink. Very difficult to get into appointment: you have to unlock 4 doors: one to get into the building and 3 to get into apartment, like the prison. It would be problematic to get out quickly in case of the fire

The stay was overall great! The only issue I ran across was initialing finding the place. Other than that the place was very nice with plenty of space and in a great location.
