Located in a building built in 1887 on the bustling Pest side of the Danube, Viktor’s two-bedroom apartment is on the first floor with a balcony facing the street. Parquet floors, decorative tiles in the bathroom, and a mix of modern and antique furnishings give the space an eclectic feel. There are several of the city’s famous “ruin bars” nearby, where you can drink cheap beer in a delightfully abandoned space.

Susanna’s place is notable for its sheer madness – we don’t even know exactly what’s going on in the bedroom, but it seems to involve a lot of mirrors. Downstairs, the wallpaper appears to be holographic, while some furniture also appears to be reflective. If you can handle the glare, the place also offers a full kitchen, a bathroom with a corner bath, and easy access to the party district and many Budapest attractions.
