Rating
Rating of the flat and room:
- in general fine, with some wear-and-tear from previous tenants. But the pictures of the room and flat on the website are old and don't show the current state!
- the worst thing - a bar with very noisy clients just next door! Difficult to sleep in summer months, when they are active
- the best thing: the agency targets exchange students, that are absent in summer. I rented one room, but ended up being alone in the flat for a month, which was nice.
- lack of airconditioner, difficult to sleep in summer
- there were ants in the kitchen. This was due to the previous tenants and it didn't bother me much. But the previous tenants told me the agency hasn't taken care of this
- the agency calls a cleaning service before a new person moves in, so when I moved it was all clean and tidy. This was nice
Rating of the agency:
- they changed the responsible agent, but the previous one (Berton) appeared to intentionally misslead me. He responded quickly, but did strange things: 1) After I reserved the flat my reservation got cancelled, because "the website made a mistake", in to his words. Then the price increased and I reserved it again, nontheless. I met the old tenants and figured out, that conveniently enough the agency hiked the price just after they left. 2) I asked if I could extend the stay and the answer was "Of course, just reserve quickly on the website, because there is another person who also reserved the room for the same time" - How is this possible? Are they accepting double reservations? And they will scr** over the other person to give me the room? I don't think so. I think this was just a reply to make me impulsively book the flat.
- in general the agent was easy going and responsive. I just chatted with him, never met him in person
I would use the same agency again, because it's hard to find good and affordable places in Budapest
Neighborhood
AWFULLY NOISY, SLEEP NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE during summer months, because of the bar clients (Hoff House) next door. Not the fault of the agency, of course. But I hope the agency contacts the bar and takes some measures with some association of residents or something. Else, it's really nice neighborhood.
