The Velvet Chemistry, 1061 Budapest, Király utca 28., Hungary
The apartment is perfectly located on Király utca (King Street), the vibrant heart of District VI, also known as the Jewish Quarter. Surrounded by lively restaurants, ruin bars, cafes, and museums just steps away, it offers the best of Budapest’s buzz. Inside the building, a serene green courtyard ensures peace, and the apartment itself is quiet and restful. Enjoy excellent transport links, including the 100E airport bus and Deák Ferenc tér metro as well as Opera metro, making it an ideal base for your stay.
For digital nomads, this is an excellent location full of cafes, bars, nightclubs, restaurants – where you can meet other people and not feel isolated. If you get bored sitting at home, there is Starbucks coffee shop 2 minutes from the apartment building, where you can park yourself on the second floor and work from there. You can easily have 2 adult visitors staying in the small bedroom (short period of time as the room is rather small). 1 adult can stay in the additional bedroom comfortably with their own desk. There are two desk in each bedroom in case you are a couple and need separate space for working. Both desks are facing the window which is fantastic for video calls. The background for the videos is also "clean" when you sit there.
For a small family with 1, max 2 kids, this apartment could work well, too. I don't believe the apartment is suitable for children who are in the 'exploring' stage (unless you can take care of the bookshelves and open shelves with glasses, walls etc.) Also, if you have two kids, then age 12+ might make the second bedroom claustrophobic. For two small kids I believe the room is manageable for medium term. Ideal for 1 kid though.
During warm months but also during a sunny day, you can take out two chairs to sit on the balcony and enjoy direct sunshine between 12-3pm. For smokers, it is easy to walk outside the apartment and have a cigarette without having to go outside the actual building. And you'll have a view of the trees in the courtyard which is a very unusual feature in the buildings in central Budapest.
The apartment is decorated with things I collected from around the world, has beautiful art and a small but substantial library that you can use. I believe this differentiates my apartment from others. It does feel like home. I live there when I'm in Budapest and it's perfect for me. I am confident you will love it, too!
Disclaimer: If you book the apartment during the month of April, I might need to make 1-2 short visits to pack some of my stuff. I will do so with your agreement, when it suits you most.
