Nestled in the heart of the city, a rooftop apartment overlooking a
Bauhaus courtyard, Apartment Belle has 50 square meters of cozy
luxury: full American kitchen, large sleeping gallery, high speed
internet (wi-fi) and cable TV, ensuite bath/toilet. Quiet and bright,
step from the lift through the private gate. The apartment sleeps a
family of 4 with a queen-sized bed and large convertible sofa.

Start with location: District V is the heart around which the City of
Budapest was built. And Szervita Square is at the very center of
District 5. One block away from the Deak Square Metro hub, where all
three of the city’s Metro lines intersect. Take the historic Yellow
line (the first subway in Europe) to Andrassy Street, the Opera, the
Liszt Music Academy, Heroes’ Square and Gundel’s Restaurant. Take the
Red line into Buda and explore the Castle, the Citadel, and the hills.
Take the Blue line to Raday street’s bohemian bars and cafes.

Or walk two blocks to the Danube and take the #2 Tram, north to
Parliament and the antique shops of Falk Miksa Street, or south to the
Central Market Hall or the stunning new Palace of the Arts (the
landscaping is not yet finished, but the acoustics are remarkable).

Or just walk a block to the historic pedestrian mall on Vaci Street, a
boulevard lined with shops and restaurants. Several blocks to the
south and you are at the Great Synagogue (second largest in the world)
or go a similar distance north and you are at St. Stephen’s Basilica.
Go half a dozen blocks to the northeast and you are at the foot of
Andrassy Street, the grand boulevard leading to the Opera, Operetta
Theatre, and Liszt Music Academy.

Free concerts abound within walking distance in the summers and, at
Christmas and during the Spring Festival, Vorosmarty Square a block
away lights up with decorations and outdoor crafts and food vendors.

The building: But the location is just the start. Szervita Square #5
is a landmarked building designed by Bela Lajta in 1911/1912 as the

Rózsavölgyi Building (detailed information available on request).

The apartments: Apartments Belle and Sarah are adjoining rooftop
apartments on the south side of the building. Overlooking two
courtyards and away from the bustle of the street, these two air conditioned garrets
have cathedral ceilings more than 4 meters high, with nooks and
crannies and skylights that render each apartment romantic and unique.

Each is reached by one of the building’s two lifts, and each has its
own locked entry gate. Each has its own bathroom with luxury shower
and a small but well-stocked American kitchen (convection oven,
fridge, full sink, and clothes washer,). Staples, dishware, cutlery,
pots and pans are all there when you arrive. Each has a small library
of guidebooks and maps, and each has cable TV, a dvd player, an iPod
dock, and high speed open-access wi-fi Internet. Each has a sleeping
gallery/loft with comfortable bed sleeping two (140 cm in Sarah and 160cm
in Belle), and each has a large convertible sofa that can sleep two in
the livingroom (120 cm).

Each apartment has a locking door that separates it from the other,
but the doors can be opened and the two joined for a large and
luxurious apartment with two bedrooms, two baths and two kitchens.
Use of a mobile phone with Hungarian telephone number is included
(replenishing the phone is the guest’s responsibility). The
apartments are listed separately here on vacationrentals but can be
combined (at a discount, see Rates).

All of Budapest is at your feet.
