"We took up residence at VLF a few months prior to the birth of our first child. Expats from Canada, we were busy working on the development of the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace, Budapest. We had lived in the 5th District for years but as soon as we saw this flat, we didn’t think twice and took up residence. The spaciousness of the apartment is overwhelming: imagine, almost literally, opening the door to a penthouse level football field, complete with the most wonderful collection of antiques, art, masterful modern lighting and colour. The kitchen is a chef’s dream; the private terrace hidden up in the trees. The flat is the ultimate entertaining venue with soaring ceilings and a plethora of rooms that go on and on and on. It is warm, hospitable, incredibly modern and over the top luxurious. It truly is one of the most fantastic memories we have of our 6 years living aborad."

"We stayed in Broadway 1 for three nights together with friends and our 10 months old baby girl. This vacation apartment is fantastic, it has been furnished and decorated mixing modern design in an old-style high ceilling building. The living room is incredibly spacious: the 6 of us were able to sit together on the sofas and comfortably drink Hungarian red wine, meanwhile my daughter still had plenty of place to crawl and play, she really did feel like at home. The bedrooms are very cosy, beds are comfortable and nights are restful. One thing you can not miss is the oriental style round bathtub, it is incredible and beautiful. Broadway 1 is close to everything and its location makes your daily activities easy: shops, restaurants and the metro are all in walking distance (less than 5 min), furthermore Andrássy Avenue (Budapest's Champs Elysées) is at less than 100m away. From a service point of view, I was happy about how dedicated and professional the representative was. Prior the trip, responses to any inquiries were very fast. She also helped preparing our stay with proposing additional furniture/equipment for the baby. She also took care of the arragement for the airport pick-up. Very good asset in your trip preparation. In one word, I would highly recommend the service of hip homes for any kind of trip to Budapest. Two thumbs up!"

"I was staying with my friends in your Broadway 1 holiday rental near the Opera in early May, 2009. Your place was very comfortable and we had a great time with our friends in Budapest. The kitchen was very practical and the main bathroom very pleasant to use. The only missing things were the night-curtains in our bedroom, but I'm sure that is already fixed. Thank you, it was an honour to be one of the first guests in Broadway 1."

"We have just returned from a five day trip to Budapest where we were fortunate enough to have booked a stay at Broadway 1. The apartment is stylish, very well equipped and in a perfect position for exploring this beautiful city. The representative was very friendly and extremely helpful both before and during our trip. We hope to return to Budapest next year and Hip Homes will be our first point of contact!"

I really enjoy staying at the Bajcsy apartment. It's a beautifully renovated and designed apartment, with amazingly spacious rooms. The full-height windows in the living and dining rooms have stunning views of the cathedral. The central location means everything in central Budapest is just a short walk away, with a huge range of cafes and restaurants right on the doorstep - strolling over to the cathedral square for coffee or cocktails and people watching is a real pleasure. I loved the interesting mix of antiques and art works around the apartment which give it real character. The Hip Homes staff are a pleasure to deal with and couldn't be more more helpful.

I was amazed by how much attention to detail has gone into restoring this charming Villa. The result is just perfect, with period details like tiles and terraces in harmony with stunning contemporary design. The house is beautifully proportioned and the garden is surprisingly private. I have very happy memories of long breakfasts on the terrace in the late summer sunshine followed by a swim in the pool (11m x 4m, so a decent size) while we planned the rest of the day. We enjoyed the gentle charms of Balatonfured, where the new marina adds a few modern bars and restaurants to the more traditional spa town offerings. Further afield, Balaton has lots of great day trips - wine tours, castles, beautiful scenery and walks - making this a great base for a relaxing week in the Hungarian countryside.

We stayed at Broadway 2 mid-way through 2009. The Hip-Homes representative, Dorka, was amazing! We were traveling with our toddler and Dorka went out of her way to help us feel at home. We stayed in many apartments during our long trip around Europe, and Dorka's service was simply outstanding in comparison (and that's not implying that the others were bad). The apartment itself was perfect - very very spacious for a 1-bedroom apartment, beautifully clean, and it is in a wonderful location. What made the apartment outstanding was the attention to detail -- candles to light, matches available, everything you'd want in a kitchen to prepare full meals. What's more, the food from the restaurant directly below the apartment also was the best food we enjoyed during our European sojourn -- and we were not expecting such great food in Budapest, so it was a real surprise. Indeed, the surrounding cafes are hip too, with fantastic food and service. Overall, everything was perfect, perfect, perfect. Thanks Hip Homes and especially thanks to Dorka.

We throroughly enjoyed our stay in Bajcsy - what a stunning property! On arrival we felt like we were walking into a film set or a design magazine. The rooms are of grand proportions, with enormous windows overlooking the cathedral. The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment had all the amenities we could wish for, with a luxury kitchen and shower room. The location is perfect for sight seeing, although we often had trouble dragging ourselves away from our luxury accommodation! Dorka was very helpful and welcoming, from the first email contact to meeting us at the apartment. I highly recommend staying here!
