Condos for rent in Budapest, Prague, Bratislava in Sept?

Question

I'll be traveling to Budapest, Prague, Bratislava for 3 weeks in September. Anyone have good or bad experiences about condo rental in these cities? What areas in each city are best? what rates should I expect?

I had a great experience last year in a condo in Krakow, 1 block from the Market square, and I'd love to replicate this in Budapest, Prague, Bratislava.

Answer 1

I just had a GREAT experience renting a place in Budapest.  The website for the apartments is:  http://www.budapest.hoteltargets.com/  The guy who owns these 3 apartments (Tomas) is an artist in Budapest.  He met with us on our first day and asked what we were interested in doing on our visit, marked places on a map for us, really all around top notch.  The location was perfect (We were at the "deluxe" apartment, which was right near a tram line that got us EVERYWHERE in town.)  It was an incredible experience.  I would absolutely rent from this guy again.  The rates are reasonable, he is SO helpful with everything, and the locations are all perfect.  I really felt like I got the true Budapest experience, and more than just a tourists outsider glance of the city.

Answer 2

In Budapest, the closer to the Duna (preferrably at the Chain bridge) you are, the better.  The "Buda" part of the city is also a bit more historical than the "Pest" side, but if you are right downtown, it doesn't matter which side you are on.  Budapest has come a long way and you will surely find it to be on par with Krakow...
