Budapest Airbnb Stay

📍 Budapest Soho Olive Central Studio – A Cozy & Convenient Stay

For a weekend trip with friends in Budapest, this small but well-designed Airbnb delivered exactly what we needed—a comfortable and well-located home base for exploring the city. With a thoughtful layout, cozy loft space, and prime location near great bars and restaurants, this spot is perfect for travelers looking for an affordable, walkable stay in Budapest.

🍽️ Food & Drinks – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (5/6)

  • Surrounded by great food & drink options – Tons of cafes, restaurants, and bars within a short walk.

  • Fat Mama – A must-try spot for one of the best burgers in the area.

  • Guri Serház Körút – A craft beer haven just around the corner, offering a wide selection of both local and international brews.

  • Close to ruin bars – The famous Szimpla Kert Ruin Bar is only a 5-minute walk away, making nightlife super convenient.

🏡 Living Spaces – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/6)

  • Cozy but well-organized – The small space is efficiently laid out, making it feel more spacious than expected.

  • Loft sleeping arrangement – 3 beds (1 king, 2 twins) provide separation between the main living area and the sleeping space.

  • Perfect for a friends' trip – Not ideal for privacy, but great for groups who just need a clean and comfortable place to shower, sleep, and recharge.

🤝 Service – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/6)

  • Super helpful host – Provided local recommendations and was responsive to any questions.

  • Tricky check-in process – Since it’s an apartment-style Airbnb, you’ll go through three coded doors before reaching the unit, which can be a bit of a hassle initially. However, once inside, everything is straightforward and smooth.

🌍 My Experience

✅ Affordability & Location – This Airbnb strikes a perfect balance between price and prime location, making it ideal for budget-conscious travelers who want to be in the heart of the action.
✅ Walkability – Everything is within walking distance, from ruin bars to the riverfront, so we didn’t use public transport at all.
✅ Favorite Memories:

  • Ending every night at Guri Serház Körút—the beers and convenience made it a go-to spot.

  • Experiencing the famous Budapest thermal baths—a must-do when visiting.

❌ Not for those looking for a spacious or activity-packed Airbnb – This is a landing zone, not a hangout spot. If you’re looking for a place to spend lots of time inside, this might not be the best choice.

🚆 Accessibility – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/6)

  • No need for public transportation – We walked everywhere, making this an ultra-convenient stay.

  • About a 25-minute walk to the Danube River – Easily manageable and packed with sights along the way.

  • Surrounded by energy – Right in the middle of Budapest’s best nightlife and food scene.

Final Verdict: Would I Recommend It?

Absolutely—if you’re visiting Budapest with friends and need a well-priced, centrally located, no-fuss place to sleep and refresh, this is an ideal choice. It’s clean, well-organized, and within walking distance of everything worth seeing. Just be prepared for a compact space and a slightly tricky check-in process.
