MEET YOUR INSIDERS
JÁNOS & VIRÁG...
In the last 20 years I had the chance to
travel a lot. I visited many places mainly
in Europe, Asia and Australia, and stayed at many
apartments, guesthouses, and hostels. It was during
this time that I had the dream of eventually settling
down and hosting guests from around the world in my
very own property in Budapest, Hungary.
In 2011 I met a nice girl and we started dating. I
mentioned to her my dream that I had been thinking
of for more than a decade. She liked me and my dream
as well :). There was one time, a few hours before our
next date, that an estate agent called me - there was

a run down apartment at a great location right in the
very heart of Budapest that I should take a look at.
It could be renovated and then sold for a good price.
I asked the girl to join me for this strange date and
surprise, she was flexible enough to say yes to this
unusual occasion!
Luckily for me, she fell in love with that run down
flat and I bought it, renovated and furnished it as my
first apartment for rent. The renovation took over a
year as I did almost everything on my own during the
weekends. It turned out that it was not just the flat
that she fell in love with:) We married and have now a
cute daughter and 5 apartments that we run.
I put a lot of effort into these 5 apartments, to hopefully
make them the best choice for travelers. In case you
like our story and some of the amazing experiences in
this guide please give us a call or email; we'd be happy
to host you! Hope to see you in Budapest.
