Hungary6 reviews“Very nice house for a family of four, with excellent hosts”Note that these are mainly just nits, not big pain points (as reflected by the score). There is only one bathroom and one toilet, both on the ground floor, while bedrooms are on the first floor -- going to the toilet at night involves climbing uncomfortably steep stairs. What passes for a living room is arranged in a peculiar fashion, with a two-person sofa facing a wall and a double bed taking up most of the space; while the house can comfortably sleep around seven adults and one baby (provided two of the adults don't mind sleeping just off the kitchen, with no door to their bedroom), there isn't really a place inside to sit down comfortably -- while the kitchen/dining room is very large, the benches aren't comfortable to sit on, or even sit down on (due to the layout). There were many flies (can't be helped with nearby agriculture) -- whenever you'd open the front door, some would get in and annoy. Since this is a very old house (recently renovated), the ceilings and doors are low, to the point where I had to bend my neck to avoid hitting my head on exposed beams that were as low as ~190cm. Grocery shopping options are limited; there is one local store in the village (combined with a petrol station), but the nearest discount supermarket is a good 10 minutes away by car. There isn't a good place to store groceries in the house; you'll end up piling what doesn't go into the fridge on the window sills and on the kitchen counter.
The house is in an excellent location, at the edge of a quiet village, and it comes with a large garden (mostly lawn, with a couple of ducks and/or cats showing up every now and then, which we liked). The hosts are very nice, responsive and helpful people who were always available when needed but weren't pushy. The beds are comfortable (not too soft, unlike most other accommodations I've been to). This must be one of the cleanest vacation apartments I've ever stayed in. The Internet connection is good (~100Mbps downstream, ~15Mbps upstream). Thanks to its thick walls, the interior of the house stayed relatively cool for a few days even during temperatures around 30°C outside. The rooms are spacious and have individual thermostats (for heating only; no A/C). There are several ways to heat the house, including a pellet stove, a wood stove and electric radiators. You can hike in the woods nearby without even driving anywhere. Many good hiking opportunities within ~1 hour of driving. While the fridge is on the small side, there is a separate freezer with ample room. The house comes with two keys, so occupants can split up and return separately. There is a porch with a large table and a bench, screened from the wind by a pane of glass on one side. There is some sport equipment provided, including three sets of snowshoes and some badminton rackets. I believe I saw a portable grill in the shed as well. The kitchen was provisioned with some consumables like sugar and a generous amount of coffee. Toilet paper and paper towels were supplied in ample quantity as well.
