I stayed in an apartment hotel in
downtown (district 6). They had a full kitchen and there was a supermarket
nearby, so I could just stock up and heat the soup and make toast or sandwich
when I woke up in the middle of the night. I love the time like this.
Travelling without a need to quickly recover from jetlag is luxury.
It seems like this type of apartment hotel
is quite common in Budapest. When you look up in booking.com, you will see
plenty of them and they offer more spacious room and better location with
cheaper rate than hotels. Now that Airbnb is getting popular, people are
rushing to renovate the room to make some profits in foreign currencies, I
heard. Indeed, buildings near the hotel were almost all under repair.
From my balcony, I could see a little
patio and Mexican ladies playing poker all day long.
