Welcome to Budapest, future Erasmus student! You’ve chosen one of Europe’s most vibrant and affordable cities for your adventure. But before you dive into ruin bars and thermal baths, there’s one crucial step: finding the perfect place to live.
At Anita’s Apartments, we’ve helped hundreds of students like you settle into their new Hungarian home, focusing on safety, comfort, and a stress-free experience. Here’s our insider guide to navigating the Budapest rental market.
1. Location, Location, Location: Where to Live in Budapest?
Budapest is divided into districts, each with its unique vibe. For Erasmus students, we highly recommend:
District V (Belváros-Lipótváros): The true city center! Home to Parliament, Chain Bridge, and many universities. Perfect if you love being in the heart of the action, close to public transport and nightlife. Anita’s Apartments offers premium rooms here.
District VI (Terézváros): Just north of District V, known for Andrássy Avenue and the Opera House. It’s a bit quieter but still incredibly central, with excellent connections and charming streets. Ideal for those seeking a balance. Our team specializes in securing safe student accommodation here.
District VII (Erzsébetváros): The famous Jewish Quarter, buzzing with ruin bars, cafes, and a vibrant arts scene. Popular for its lively atmosphere.
2. The Search: When and How to Look for Your Apartment
Don’t wait until the last minute!
Start Early: Begin your search 2-3 months before your arrival (especially for the September intake).
Online Portals: While major platforms exist, for the best and safest options, look for specialized agencies that cater to international students. This is where Anita’s Apartments shines, offering transparent contracts and English-speaking support.
3. Avoid Pitfalls: What to Watch Out For
Scams can happen anywhere, but with a reliable agency, you’re safe:
No Upfront Payments: Be wary of requests for large deposits before seeing the apartment (or a virtual tour).
Clear Contracts: Always ensure your contract is in English (or Hungarian with an English translation) and clearly states rent, utilities, deposit, and notice period. Manu, our relocation expert, ensures all our contracts are crystal clear.
Hidden Costs: Ask about all utility costs (heating, electricity, water, internet) upfront.
