Anna welcomed us in the apartment and showed us city maps and gave us a reccommendations list that we used a lot when we should find places to eat etc. really nice and affordable reccommendations. The apartment was clean and we even had a little chocolate at the bed when we arrived- just like or better than any hotels. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that nice but we had one afternoon in the sun at the balcony. All in all, we had a really nice stay in Budapest:)Sif2016-04-10T00:00:00Z
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. What an incredible apartment! It's like walking straight out of your humdrum life and into the pages of a European interior design magazine! Anna was an incredible host - not only did she arrange everything at unbelievably short notice, she also marked out a map with fantastic, local recommendations, and made us feel completely at home in her huge, industrial-chic Budapest apartment. Don't read any more reviews, just book this apartment now!Abi2014-08-04T00:00:00Z

The bikes are a great idea , the kitchen is really amazing and she has the best coffee machine I have ever seen in an appartment!! We had a super welcome...We will be back!Nora2015-12-25T00:00:00Z

We felt very comfortable and would not hesitate to stay here again. The location is perfect, the Jewish Quarter invites really to linger. In addition, one is by metro within a short time everywhere. We were warmly welcomed and everything worked fine. The house has a courtyard and is very quiet. To recommend!Christine2016-10-19T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Andras' apartment! After meeting us at the flat, Andras was very helpful explaining the area, local restaurants and ruin bars - he also brought us some fresh fruit from the local market. The apartment is in a great location, right on a very nice, quiet park but also in walking distance to everything you need in Budapest. It has a beautiful view of the park and surrounding area. Would highly recommend this location (and Budapest in general!) for your next trip.Thomas2014-11-25T00:00:00Z
Our 7 days stay in Budapest was really amazing, and part of it was the amazing Andrá's flat. Super clean and well designed, in a quite and beautiful surround. My daughter and I had everything we needed for a great stay: a tiny street market at the park, a near supermarket, 2 minutes walk from the subway station and just across Kiraly Utca, a super cool street. It was just fabulous! Txs!Eti2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
When we arrived, Andras welcomed us into the flat and gave us really helpful tips for exploring Budapest. The apartment is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. We can't wait to come back!Chaya2016-02-03T00:00:00Z
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming even though we arrived later than we had advised. Location is excellent, walking distance from wine bars, ruin pubs, restaurants etc. The main lounge/bedroom has high ceilings and is nicely decorated. They provided all the amenities we needed like iron, hair dryer etc. Large kitchen and adequate bathroom. Overall enjoyed our stay.Vikram2016-05-16T00:00:00Z
Beautiful apartment, everything you need to feel at home. The bed is really comfortable and the heater is really easy to use. The apartment looks just like the pictures, it really is super. Great location, easy to walk to the centre and very close to the metro too. Easy check-in. András was helpful and informative and flexible with the check-out time! thanks for a great stay and letting us share your lovely place!Briony2017-01-31T00:00:00Z
Highly recommended accommodation! Lovely apartment in great old building. The apartment is fully equipped, including TV with English language channels (a relief!) Secure, safe & very well situated, two blocks from intersection of two "high-roads" of Budapest. Very close to the Opera and grocery stores. The nearest subway is one block away. The host, Andras, is very friendly and welcoming & was waiting for me at the apartment to explain the run of the house. Beforehand, he provided instructions on how to reach the apartment from the station. His English is perfect, thus communication is no problem. Really enjoyed the stay!Fdp2014-10-25T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay in Budapest. Andras was so helpful with tips and met us at the apartment. The apartment is beautiful with everything you need in a quiet square close to the bars and cafes of District VII. We walked to all the major sights from the apartment and would highly recommend to anyone visiting beautiful Budapest!Emma2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
This apartment was beautiful and close to all of the sights of Budapest, convenient to public transport, and quiet, with a lovely park across the street. Andras was a perfect host, going out of his way to make our stay enjoyable, from agreeing to meet us early (we arrived on an overnight train) to carrying a suitcase up the stairs to the apartment. The bed was comfortable and the apartment clean, simply and tastefully decorated, as well as containing everything we needed for a lovely stay. We would recommend it.Marion2014-10-05T00:00:00Z

It was great time in Budapest. Very cosy and beautiful flat in the centre. There are a lot of great decorations in it. The books collection is awesome! Totaly recomend to stay in Aron&Eva flat.Yevhen 2017-01-25T00:00:00Z
Eva was the ideal host, warm and welcoming even before arrival with great communication, she ensured we had a transfer from the airport organised and instantly made us feel at home in her gorgeous apartment. It has everything you could need, whilst also being incredibly comfortable and stylish, peaceful at night with a great bed, and in a super location both for walking around town and for catching transport to other parts -out to the szechenyi baths was a few stops on the subway literally door to door, there is also a large bus and tram terminal 5 minutes walk away. The neighbourhood has a lot of amenities, as well as some great bars and places to eat, tea houses, local shops, and holds many museums and galleries in the streets around (Robert Capa contemporary photography centre and the video game museum were favourites). This was definitely my best air bnb experience so far, the efficiency and cleanliness really added to the lovely welcome we had and time spent in the apartment.Scarlett2017-01-27T00:00:00Z
Aron and Eva's place was great! The apartment was decorated lovely, it was clean and had everything we needed. The location was central to everything, only a short walk or bike ride to all the main attractions and restaurants. Eva was an excellent host, providing a clear guidebook from how to get to the apartment to great places to eat. She even sorted transfers to and from the airport for us! We would definitely recommend this apartment!Elle2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
Well recommended place!Naor 2017-03-15T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay here! The location is fantastic, the apartment is beautiful and it really felt like home. And Aron and Eva were fantastic with communication throughout (although we never met them). Will definitely be recommending this place to friends, and would love to stay here again on future visits to Budapest.Ayla2016-12-27T00:00:00Z
Fantastic flat ! Warm, cosy, romantic and full of sunlight in the morning... The home design is beautifull and unique. Don't hesitate !Emmanuel2017-01-20T00:00:00Z
The place is very nice and really well located, within a walking distance to many of the city`s main sightseeing areas and with some nice bars and restaurants nearby. Eva was very friendly and the apartment had everything we needed. Me and my boyfriend had a great time in the city and we were very pleased that we chose this apartment during our stay in Budapest.Caroline2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
Our stay in the apartment of Aron and Eva was just magical! The location is dreaming, magnificent décor, and everything is more functional! Communication with Eva went well and although we have not met, she followed our troubles at the airport and made sure that a driver was waiting at the airport, which is very significant at 1.30 am! I recommend this paradise to all who wish to visit Budapest!Margot2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

I've been in Budapest for 3days(4nights) and i found this apt as a perfect location where to stay. Very well connected with the huge pubblic transportation system of the city, litterally under the Old Town (Budai). The flat is part of an "old-style-condo" on the outside but in the inside everything is new, clean and very bright. The area is sorrounded by the green nature and is very quite and chill. Natasha was very kind and available with us, giving us all the info we needed about trasports, taxis and facilities. You will enjoy a short or a longer stay here! I definitely suggest to contact Natasha for this accomodation, don't miss this and Budapest! ClaudioClaudio2016-05-25T00:00:00Z
Really nice, quiet, clean, charming and comfy Appartement. We loved it. Its easy to get everywhere with the public transport, which is a few minutes walk away. Natasha was a great host, made sure we had everything we need and answered fast when we had questions.Jan2015-07-20T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay there, the apartment is very clean, comfortable and spacious, just like those pictures in the profile. Natasha is also very helpful even after we checked in. The surrounding is quiet and comforting. It's so much better than staying in some boring hotels. I would strongly recommend this place.stephanie2016-03-03T00:00:00Z
Natasha's flat was incredibly pretty; very high rooms and a spacious and cozy balcony to the quiet backyard with huge chestnut trees which we could even enjoy in rainy weather. Natasha was very friendly and helpful. She showed us all the important and interesting bits around and had great insider tips concerning the classical Budapest spas.Paula2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
It was our first time in Budapest and the Apartment was perfect! The house is really impressive and so is the flat. We just stayed for the weekend and couldn't meet Natasha but she did send me instructions and all information that we needed. So our stay was beautiful and without any difficulties!Larissa2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Really lovely apartment with everything you need. The perfect location for transport, shops and enough out of the centre to feel like we saw more of Buda(pest) than expected. Natasha was a very friendly and helpful host and made our whole stay very easy and comfortable. Would definitely come back!Tim2016-02-26T00:00:00Z
Great spot near the park and easy access to tram lines across into Pest. The castle is just 15 minute walk (we did this everyday) and also there are many stores around to buy food and toiletries.Layla2017-04-29T00:00:00Z
Nyul ut is a beautiful street to live on, close to Szent Kellman ter which is a major transport hub, and so easy to travel everywhere. The flat is bright, airy, clean and comfortable with a beautiful balcony looking onto leafy trees. The only drawback is that it's on the second floor without a lift, but actually it's worth the climb! Natasha is a helpful but unobtrusive host, very easy to maintain contact with. I would live at this flat again.E2016-06-18T00:00:00Z

Zelma and her husband were spectacular hosts while my friends and I were in Budapest. We were completely in love with the apartment and it's furnishings. It looks exactly how it does in the photos. It was clean, modern, comfortable and very stylish. Zelma was also excellent with communication. She gave us so many tips on locations to see, bars, restaurants and lots of local insight in Budapest. She was even kind enough to welcome us with a bottle of wine. She also stocked a small bowl of Nespresso coffee pods for us which we really enjoyed! The location of the apartment is perfect. My friends and I walked everywhere. There was no need for taxis or public transport as everything is within a 30 minute walk. Thank you Zelma for making our stay in Budapest so great. I would definitely recommend this property!Sushma2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
The hosts welcomed us warmly and gave me very great tips and itineraries equipped us. They were also reached for questions around the clock. The apartment is furnished with great attention to detail and very clean. The location is perfect to explore Budapest. We will come back in any case.Lisa2016-09-28T00:00:00Z
Zelma is without any question one of the best host we have ever experienced. She gave us a warm welcome and told us a lot about the city and send us heeps of information before we started our trip. The appartment is in the middle of Budapest and has a attractive look. It's clean and neat and you feel immediately like home. The espresso machine was great so are all the other facilities in the house. Perfect place to start a city trip from and come back and relax down at the sofa or in bath:) We will definitely come back during summer time and a special thanks to Zelma and her brother in law who picked us up and returned us safely back to the airport.Anoek2017-01-28T00:00:00Z
Fantastic apartment in the center of Budapest! Everything was as described on the website. The apartment was clean, well maintained and spacious. The hosts were very hospitable, kind, polite and serving help in each case. I recommend staying in this place.Jarosław2016-08-27T00:00:00Z
Zelma and andras were incredibly hospitable hosts. They picked us up from the train station, gave us a mini tour on the drive, and offered loads of suggestions and even offered to bring over extra heaters and blankets for the unseasonable cold. The apartment is great also-- clean and new. Just watch your head standing up in the loft bedroom. Excellent host and stay!Garry2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

The location of our stay was ideal for visiting various sites in the city such as the St. Stephen's basilica and within a short walking distance to hop on the metro and visit the bath houses. The place itself was very clean and minimalist but welcoming. The air conditioning was also a wonderful treat since we walked around a lot and needed a calming retreat to cool down and rest. There were many places to eat right outside of our door as well which made our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend Máté's place.Genghis2017-05-21T00:00:00Z
Beautiful apartment with excellent location! ! The photos do not lie, you have the perfect accommodations to spend a few beautiful days in Budapest. . I killed was always attentive during our stay !! Without a doubt I recommend it and go back to stay!Florencia2016-05-19T00:00:00Z

Máté was a great host and met us as soon as we got to the apartment (he even offered to pick us up from the airport). The apartment itself was spacious, clean & very comfy. It's located in the heart of Pest, near all the great sights, bars and restaurants. We felt very safe and there was little noise even though it's located within the centre. PS/ In case you were wondering, there's a drawer full of towels to take with you to the thermal baths!Andy2015-10-08T00:00:00Z
Great apartment!! Just like exactly in the pictures! There were instructions on how to get in/out of the apartment using the security code, heater, wifi, etc. He even took us to the airport on the day we left (for a fee) but we did not have to worry about using the shady taxi companies! Everything worked well and the location is EXCELLENT. I plan on coming back to Budapest and will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Mate for a wonderful stay!Amy2013-12-30T00:00:00Z
Máté's house was wonderful.I stayed with my friend for 1 night at his house.The place was clean and comfortable. There is a security gate to enter the building which makes the place very safe. There is a courtyard on front of the house which is almost only for you. Máté was very kind and friendly. I will recommend everyone to stay here.Omer Faruk2016-02-03T00:00:00Z
Mate is very nice host, helpful and positive. It was very nice of him to suggest to meet us at the airport and bring to the flat.

Gábor is very thorough and filled the fridge with beer, champagne and fruit. Moreover also she left coffee, sugar and chocolate. He was watching us at all times to what we might need: informed us about places to see, partying and restaurants to eat. It provided city maps and advice to park the car near the apartment.Rubén2015-09-05T00:00:00Z

Nice place, good location, perfect host. Thank you Gabor for everythingLina2016-01-17T00:00:00Z
Great apartment in an excellent location. A short 20min cab ride (and very easy) from the airport. Taxi should cost around 700HUF and Gabor was happy to meet us at 1am! The apartment is very near to Margaret Island and the number 2 Tram which will take you past the parliament and along the river (tickets cost around £1 and there are inspectors!). It's a half hour walk to the Szechenyi Thermal bath, which is worth a visit but lock all your valuables in a locker as we 'lost' a phone! We also did the Gellert bath which was more 'upmarket' but check which days are available to male and females. The Claustrophilia escape room is highly recommended and just great fun. We opted to do a simple night boat cruise without dinner and ate at the Spoon restaurant on the riverside instead - both great choices and the parliament looks stunning by night! Local wine and beer is good and the food is tasty. Had a fantastic Hungarian meal with local music at Kacsa Etterem on the Buda side, just over Margaret Bridge from the apartment. Worth checking out the Castle and Fisherman's Bastion on that side also. The queue for the funicular was pretty long so we made the short walk up to the castle but there is an escalator further down the river if needed. Overall a great apartment, lovely city and a fab weekend!Jon2016-04-19T00:00:00Z
The apartment is totally central, yet quiet It is newly renovated sparkling clean and tastefully furnished with everything needed for a successful Aufenthaz.

The apartment is located in a large building in a nice location, just minutes from Margaret Bridge. It was very clean, comfortable, warm and completely renovated. The refrigerator was filled with water and a champagne welcome! O Gabor was available in any of our question and we thank you trusted us home.

The city, the place everything was awesome. Dorina and her place made our trip even more enjoyable as we could do everything by foot and have a short stop-over at the apartment before going-out at night. Even Dorina wasn't there to greet us, she arranged everything for our check-in and wrote down a long list with helpful stuff and restaurant recommendations. I really recommend Dorinas place to everyone who wants to get the most of their Budapest trip as everything is close by.Christina2016-11-20T00:00:00Z
It's a cozy apartment suitable for young people without family. It's a bit smaller however host is accommodative to check in and check out time. To me it seemed to be a little pricey considering the size of apartment and decor of place.PRANAY2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

It is surrounded by cafes, juice bars, book stores and historic Baus House buildings. The mattress feels new, the Internet is fast, the water pressure is great. Everything works about this place. On top of everything, Anna is the loveliest person -kind, beautiful and so welcoming and helpful.Marlayna2015-10-15T00:00:00Z

It takes us near 25 minutes to get to centre by walk. There are many cafés, supermarkets, bakery near the flat. In the morning you can have a breakfast on the balcony with coffee from the coffee-machine and croissant from the bakery, that is opposite to the house. Anna helped us with all out requests. There were no problems to agree about time of our arriving and leaving. If you want to have a good time in Budapest, stay in Anna's flat!Elena2014-08-30T00:00:00Z

Anna was very flexible with check in and out times which made our stay a lot less stressful and had some lovely suggestions of place to visit while we were there. There are such thoughtful touches around the apartment like umbrellas in case it rains (which came in handy!) that really make you feel at home. I'd defiantly stay here again :)Rebecca2015-06-05T00:00:00Z

Staying at the remote wooden house was a very unique and peaceful experience. The owners( Pawel and his family) are the most kind and caring people we have met. They went out of their way to make sure we had all our needs met. Once we arrived, they welcomed us warmly. The cottage is 2.5km offroad and only an experienced driver and an equipped car could get there in the snow so we left our car at Pawel's house and he drove us to the cottage. Once there, he taught us how to make fire and hot water etc. making fire was one of our favourite morning activities. The house would heat up easily and quickly and would stay warm throughout the night. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Pawel, being a mountain rescuer was very knowledgable about the area and helped us to plan our trip and to make most out of our stay. The house exceeded our imagination. Beautiful fireplace, really comfortable bedding, and breathtaking view. It was magical in the snow. The walks from the house to both the local ski resort or the car were incredibly beautiful and took about 45 minutes, counting the multiple stops to enjoy/take photos. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a remote and unique experience. We cannot wait to go back there with more friends.rojiar2015-02-09T00:00:00Z
Karolina and her father are lovely people. They were extremely helpful and caring hosts. The cottage is really cosy and it's warm - we were visiting during wintertime. It runs on batteries (12V solar panels) but it's more than enough for the cottage to operate. The area is lovely, great place for walks. Highly recommended!Grzegorz2016-01-10T00:00:00Z
Charming place where silence only interrupted by the chirping of birds or a crackling fire. All perfectly prepared by the hosts, who are ready to assist in a variety of circumstances. We admired the beauty of the area in the spring, but already thinking about the charms of autumn in the Gorce. We used the information in reviews and confirm that all the victuals should take with you. Thank you very much for your kindness and smile. We hope to come again.Agnieszka2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
It's a great place created by great people. Cottage located off the beaten track, surrounded by quiet and nature. Equipped with everything you need. For sure I will visit this place!Malgorzata2015-11-14T00:00:00Z
A place full of heart teamMateusz2016-02-04T00:00:00Z
The property is absolutely fantastic. We stayed here for a weekend which was really not enough. We stayed with our 2 kids (2 and 4). We arrived and left our car with Pawel at his house and he took us in his 4x4 up the off-road track to the house. He was so welcoming and showed us everything we needed to know about the property. Karolina and the rest of the family are equally helpful and really friendly. It is really clean and brand new. The property is off grid yet so sophisticated. You are on your own in an idyllic location. We spent our days building snow men, sledging, and by the fire in the evening. We will definitely be back. This is one of the few experiences that are really special.Jason2015-03-15T00:00:00Z
Don't be fooled by the pictures of the house in the winter, even in the summer this house is a fantastic place to stay. We had a really warm welcome by the family who own this house and use it for vacation in the mountains. It is clear to see this house was handmade by the owner, who is a skilled carpenter, the attention to detail is amazing. All windows are double glazed, this is a real solid / comfortable built house. To reach the house be prepared for a 4x4 ride through the amazing forest and mountains of nowy targ, which was an adventure all by itself. I won't spoil the fun but be prepared for driving over a very steep "road" with big rocks and through large puddles of water, really nice. The ride to and from the house was included in the price, Paweł the driver knows a lot about the environment (he is looking for mushrooms during the drive) and is a really relaxed guy. Bring enough food for the days that you are planning to visit, and you will be fine without motorized transport, it is however optional to rent the 4x4. The house is situated very nicely, it is the perfect place to get away from the city and enjoy the beautiful nature. The house and warm water is heated using the beautiful stove (and/or fireplace), there is electricity from a solar panel on the roof, but this is currently only for light inside the house and for charging your telephone. The generator needs to run for fresh water from the well after each 40 liter of water, this is not really a problem … only for people who shower way to long ;-). There is a giant sheltered fireplace outside, so BBQ'ing or just sitting by the fire is possible every night. We had a really nice time here and intent to come back maybe next year. This place is just going back to basics again, if you want luxury and a supermarket 5 minutes away this place is not for you. If you want nature and hearing the forest around you, and the rewarding feeling to light the fire each day and make the house comfortable and look at the stars … this place is for you. There is a great walk to the top of the Turbacz mountain (taking +- 2 hours maximum) from the house, where there is a fully equipped restaurant where you can relax and drink a beer. Tip: Besides fresh food take also cured / packaged food with you that will stay good outside of a fridge. Especially sausages for roasting above the fire are a must.Michal2014-08-15T00:00:00Z
This house is a perfect place for those who want to escape from civilization and be as close to nature as possible. The house is very cosy and comfortable, the surroundings are beautiful - mountains, forest, virgin nature. You have to make some insignificant efforts to run the water and to heat it along with the house, but these efforts are rather pleasant. And make sure you got all the food and necessary stuff with you, because the shop is pretty far away. Karolina and her father are very nice, open, interesting and warm people ready to help any minute. We will definitely come back there! Thank you!Juliana2015-06-30T00:00:00Z

We had an excellent time in Valeria's apartment. It is well located 10 mins walk from the train station (hourly trains to the mountains), 3 mins walk to a supermarket and very close to the centre of town. The studio apartment is very modern, spotlessly clean and in a very new apartment block with a spectacular, unrestricted view of the mountains. I mean spectacular! It has everything you need to cook. Good powerful shower. Great balcony. Very good WiFi. Comfortable bed. Valeria was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. Her aunt, who showed us around the apartment, was delightful. We had a great time and were glad we stayed in Poprad rather than Stary Smokovec or Tantraska Lomnika. Thank you, Valeria.Julie2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
The apratment is awesome, with breathtaking views of the Tatras and great localization. I can fully recommend - if you want to visit Slovakia, choose Valeria's apartment!Hubert2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Lovely, bright, spotless, modern apartment, with fantastic view. All just as shown in the photos. Simple but very comfortable, a first class choice for Poprad. Plenty of information about the area provided. We did not meet Valeria, but liaison with her by email and phone was fine. Her mother met us at the apartment and showed us how everything worked. When I managed to knock out the electricity in the flat by trying to boil a kettle without any water (shame on me), they quickly responded to distress signals and the problem was resolved in no time. Strongly recommended.Peter2013-08-20T00:00:00Z
I stayed in Valeria apartment for one night. Apartment is as described - nice, new and with wonderful view. It is easy to find (near center of town and new shopping center). Parking is free and safe. Valeria (and her mother) were very helpful and gave me instructions how to find the apartment and also some great tips for spending time in Poprad.Zoran2015-10-26T00:00:00Z
What a gorgeous place Valeria has. If you EVER go to Poprad you must stay here. Centrally located, amazing view of the Tatras and everything you need. Sadly we didn't meet as Valeria wasn't in town but her communication was fanstastic. Very reaponsibe and helpful. An all round wonderful experience.Joanne2015-09-07T00:00:00Z
his was our first time in Slovakia and our first time using Air bnb for the whole trip instead of hotels. Could not have been easier. Valeria had left lots of info in the apartment and it was really easy to find just behind the main shopping centre the forum. It was a few minutes walk into the main square and beautiful mountain views from the apartment. Had everything we needed for our stay.Nadine2017-05-25T00:00:00Z
Valeria communicated very efficiently and answered the many questions I had about my stay in the Poprad area, she gave me plenty of useful suggestions as to what I could do whilst in Poprad. Her English is flawless and it was useful to get the information from her, as some of the local websites did not have the information for tourists in English. We didn't get to meet her as she was out of town, but it was her mother who gave us the keys to the flat and her mother was very friendly and a pleasure to meet. The flat itself is gorgeous and very, very clean: just like in the photo - one of the best AirBNB experiences I have ever had! I slept extremely well there every night and I am a very light sleeper, so I am so pleased that it was very quiet and peaceful. The heating was sufficient and the view is amazing. There is no wifi in the flat itself, but you can get free wifi in the main town square (just a very short walk away) or the local OC Forum mall (again, 2 minutes walk). The location is fantastic, you're so close to the main town square and the OC Forum mall, which is so convenient as there are supermarkets, pharmacies etc within a short walk and the main train/bus station is like a 13 minute walk away which is very pleasant and doable. I would definitely recommend that you stay with Valeria when visiting Poprad as I had a wonderful experience. Really excellent. Thanks so much Valeria - dakujem velmi pekne.Alex2015-12-15T00:00:00Z
Hi! The flat was as described. It's amazing when you get up early and see high Tatra mountains in the window. There is parking card, maps, trains timetable and, of course balcony with great mountain view!Ярослав2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

It's a great place if you are looking for a cottage to spend time, close to nature, with fireplace. Really love it. I definitely come here during summer to enjoy the terrace. Definitely recommended. Thank you for opportunity to stay there, Peter.Pavol2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Communication with Peter was great! really nice place to be! about an hour from Bratislava.Nick2016-10-20T00:00:00Z
We loved the quiet and rest we found at the cottage. The kids enjoyed the backyard and we made lots of great memories around the fireplace. Everything was exactly as pictured, and we were very please with our choice to stay here. It was close enough so that we could take a day trip into Bratislava. We toured the castle at Devin (which is beautiful!), and found an awesome coffee spot in the city center. Peter was a great host, who made sure the house was warm and inviting when our family arrived on a dark, cold November evening. Thanks again, Peter, for your hospitality!Nikki2016-11-26T00:00:00Z
Peters cottage is an excellent place to relax! Our family spend 4 night and enjoyed countryside hiking (the watermill can be reached by the dirt road turning left after the small bridge near the cottage), day trip to Nitra and just hanging out in the garden with hammock, swimming in the river or relaxing on the terrace. Peter is very attentive! The cottage is cozy family standard, but the excellent service that Peter provide with information, welcome greeting, basics in the kitchen etc. makes it a perfect stay. We highly recommend this place for other families. Our only request is maybe a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)map or geographic map photo upon booking. The place was hard to find, but the village people in Ohrady are helpful. Due to our non-existing Slovak language a local woman gave up on explaining and led us to the place driving in front of us there. 'Street Pizza Restaurant' in Dunajska Streda is a perfect and clean place for a family to eat! We hope to be back one day:-)!Tine2016-07-16T00:00:00Z
Peter - a very kind and caring host. worried about as we get. I left home plate of fruit. a GPS to find quite difficult. the house is very well maintained and original, both inside and outside. There is a fireplace, but do not forget to turn the valve. the rooms have electric heater, will not freeze.Alexander2016-09-22T00:00:00Z
Cottage is situated in the beautiful village in a very quiet area. The house is very clean and spacious with its own garden and a fireplace . We lacked for nothing. Peter is a very nice and helpful host.Barbara2016-05-18T00:00:00Z

Peter is a great host. He waited for us in domku, lit the fire and prepared us a cake and bread, all showed us, he explained, he drove us to a nearby restaurant to show us the way. Spring holidays in domku we really enjoyed it. Beautiful area, great for cycling, walking and above all a stone's throw from the local thermal baths. For a family of 2 adults + 3 small children ideal. 5 stars, great holiday, great place, great host! Thank you very much! Be sure to check this place back. This house is straight from Lord of the Rings. So lovely and cozy. Peter is a wonderful host, very attentive, ready to assist if needed. The location is ideal for cycling or walking and Also very very close to the local thermal baths - a must to visit as it is a great way to relax. All in all a great stay. Thank you for the lovely holidays, Peter. We will be back!Katka2016-03-10T00:00:00Z

The apartment is beautiful, everything new and just as it looks in the photos. Magda was very quick to respond to any questions. We had a problem with the washing machine and as it was new and under guarantee she had to use the manufacturers plumber who couldn't come out immediately, however, Magda arranged for our clothes to be collected and washed just the morning after we had told her of the problem. It was such a lovely welcoming sanctuary to come back to after a long day's walking. Very relaxing and just perfect!Kate2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Absolutely stunning apartment in a perfect area. Walking distance to Krupówki and Gubałówka. Great communication with the host.Bruno 2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
Lovely home with great views, it was a definitely a new experience sleeping under the starts, location was close to the city center, balcony was big, sauna was great. It was a bit hard to communicate in english but i guess this is all over Poland. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.Tomas2017-04-28T00:00:00Z
Beautiful flat in a newly built building with amazing facilities , located central in great peaceful surrounding . I had a great stay and enjoyed the hot tube and sauna .Carlo 2016-12-16T00:00:00Z
Ok so the good points..The apartment was lovely and new and as shown on the listing. Everything was perfect and beautifully decorated. It was lovely sleeping under the glass roof and the jacuzzi was lovely after a long days hiking in the Tatry. Now the bad points.. the jacuzzi had WAY too much chlorine in it which was noted by everyone, there wasn't enough essentials supplied like toilet roll and no show gel/ shampoo etc, and if you plan on using the jacuzzi take your own robe. Also as it is a new build there are workers building in other apartments and the one big no no I would say is there was cleaners and worker's climbing over the ladders over the glass roof in the morning as this is the only access to the chimneys so it's not so private when you have workers staring through the glass roof and sitting on the window above the bedroom.Anna2016-09-30T00:00:00Z

The place is beautiful and magical exactly how it was in the photos. The chalet is warm, cozy and clean and the cat who accompanied us is the sweetest animal ever, making our bed even more comfortable. Jacob is really helpful and we experienced no problems whatsoever. I really recommend Mietowa Gorka as a perfect stay for a couple. I hope I will have a chance to come back.Paulina2015-12-16T00:00:00Z
The romantic cabin Jakub offers is amazing! It was clean, very well isolated and cute Just like in the pictures. The platform bed with a little window above it is wonderful and cozy! Lets not forget the view. It Will take your breath away in the morning! Practically, Jakub is a very easygoing and friendly host! Thumbs up would return whenever i can!Levon2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
Jakub's little hut in the Polish countryside is a lovely place! The hut has everything you need and Jakub was very welcoming letting us use the kitchen in the main house for cooking .... He also has the BEST huge white sheepdog in the world (super friendly obviously)!Nadine2016-05-11T00:00:00Z

Our host picked us up on her way from work to Czerwienne and explained everything single thing to discover the area. We had the time to chat, had a lot of fun and common passion for landscape.Even animals are friendly-))) It's really the place to stay to disconnect and relax, to enjoy and walk.

The apartment is clean, new and located by the Nowy Kleparz market where you can get pretty much everything (I forgot my phone charger and bought one there for £4!). A short walk to the tram as well as only a 10/15 min walk to the Galeria/central station and Kraków historic centre make this a good location to stay. A couple of minor issues were promptly addressed and communications during my stay were very good. Peter & Joanna are recommended hosts!Chris2016-06-11T00:00:00Z

The delightful apartment had everything we needed for our short stay. There was a washing machine if you were staying longer. Do not make the mistake that we did in thinking there was an oven, just because there was a hob. There was however a microwave. Although it was in an apartment block we did not have any noise from neighbours whatsoever. The location was perfect for us with local amenities and a small market opposite for fresh produce. We were a short walk in to the main square. Also, approximately 10-15 min walk to the main train and bus station. Thank you Peter and Joanna xHelen2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

Take a look at the Dream Team who are claimed to have contributed 'a significant level of greatness to the hip-hop culture' when they are trading verses with each other in this clip.
A music video in support of DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win" remix has been out for viewing pleasure. It features the big stars lending their vocal on the hook, such as Busta Rhymes, P. Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous and T-Pain.
The artists who appear in the music video are called the Dream Team. "Everybody that's been carefully handpicked to be a part of the Dream Team, it's because they have contributed a significant level of greatness to the hip-hop culture overall," Busta previously told MTV. "Not just being a dope MC or being a dope performer, you consist of all the elements that make you a package: You can perform, you got catalog, your bars is right. Your videos is right, your swag is right. "
The original version of "All I Do Is Win" is included in DJ Khaled's fourth studio album titled "Victory". The track was released in February, while the album was out a month later. Like the star-studded song, the effort is also a crowded one. It lines up Drake, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Nas, John Legend, Bun B, Nelly and Pitbull among others.

Santana Moss Biography
Santana Moss was born June 1, 1979 in Miami, Florida and is a football player who currently plays wide receiver for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League. His younger brother, Sinorice, currently plays wide receiver for the New York Giants. He played college football for the Miami Hurricanes.
Moss played 51 games with the Jets and finished with 3,899 receiving yards, 19 touchdowns, 127 rushing yards, and 1,799 return yards.
His 2005 season with the Redskins was the best in his professional career, with 84 receptions for 1,483 yards(second highest in the NFL that year, behind only Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers), setting a new Redskins single-season receiving record. In 2005, Moss also was selected to his first NFL Pro Bowl. Moss recorded 18 rushing yards and 3 catches for 39 receiving yards at the Pro Bowl. Also, this amazing year solidified Moss as an elite receiver and a deep threat in the NFL.
While Moss does not have the size of prototypical wide receiver, he does have excellent speed and amazing quickness which allows him to consistently separate from defensive backs. Also, due to his size, Moss does not receive a lot of jump balls, though he is adept at making leaping grabs due to his 55-inch vertical.

Mile Jedinak's World Cup preparations have been hampered by a groin injury sustained while playing for Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season.
The Socceroos skipper seems an unlikely starter for the May 26 friendly against South Africa after he was substituted out in the 59th minute of his side's 2-2 draw with Fulham. The injury thwarted Jedinak's attempt to play in every minute of all 38 Palace Premier League games for the season.
Jedinak will now have scans to assess the extent of the damage. It is an untimely setback for the captain, with just over a month remaining until Australia begins its World Cup campaign against Chile on June 14 in Cuiabá.
Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou will name a 30-man preliminary squad for the World Cup on Wednesday.

NEWPORT County AFC manager Justin Edinburgh couldn't hide his relief after finally ending a run of one win in 15 games with a 1-0 victory at Torquay United yesterday.
Chris Zebroski's eighth-minute strike was enough to secure the three points against the basement boys, who had Shamir Goodwin sent off in the first half for an apparent elbow on the recalled Mike Flynn.
"The win was very much needed and we obviously hadn't hidden away from the poor run we had been on," said the Exiles boss.
"I think we should have won the game comfortably in the end. For the run that we've been on I thought we controlled the game.
"I was pleased with the general play. We changed the system slightly and I thought we had two very good debutants in Darcy Blake and Kevin Feely."

On a field trip to a local playground, a preschool teacher was the first person to give my son an iced oatmeal cookie. At the time, I figured my picky eater would turn his nose up at a new food choice. But he loved it. So did the teachers whom we asked to try eight brands of cookies from local grocery stores. They also decided the oatmeal in the treats made them more acceptable in their students' lunches than some cookie and candy desserts.

The new Span Columns feature of InDesign CS5 provides a really quick and simple way to create a headline that straddles multiple columns. But what if you use an older version of InDesign?
Most users just select the headline. cut it out of the text frame, and paste it into a separate text frame above the text columns. The trouble with this is that the headline is then completely separate from the rest of the text. This comes back to haunt you later if you need to export the entire article to XML, HTML, or text format, or if you want File > Select All to select the entire story. It's a much better practice to make the head a part of the text flow of the story. This is really easy to do, and is no more work than the cut and paste method. Here's how:

Best practices to optimize your InDesign documents for translation
There are many best practices to optimize your InDesign documents for translation, but here are some of the top techniques to use:
1. Use lists appropriately
Lists: When creating a numbered list, have all items in the list number automatically by using the Numbered List option, instead of manually typing in numbers. This will ensure that the list will be correctly numbered after translation. In case of text expansion, when one item may be shifted to the next page, the risk of errors or different formatting for continued numbers is eliminated.
2. Inline anchored frames
When using creative design elements in lists (e.g. white numbers grouped with black circles, see example below), make the graphic number an inline anchored frame that will paginate with the list item text. If graphic bullets or numbers are not anchored to their accompanying text items, a DTP specialist at your translation company has twice the number of elements to manually reposition on the page when text expansion occurs. Each "bullet" or "number" will have to be manually "nudged" to line up with the first line of each list item. This one feature can save hours in a project if your InDesign file is translated into dozens of languages.

How you can make InDesign skip certain pieces of text when checking spelling.
Fortunately, you can tell InDesign to ignore words as an actual property of its character formatting. That is, you can selectively turn off spell-checking for individual words or phrases. The trick is to choose No Language from the Language pop-up menu (in the Control or Character panel). Even better, make it a character style:

Halo 2
Review by diaper dog
"This is... mediocre."
Halo: Combat Evolved has to be the greatest first person shooter I have ever played. The weapons are great, the enemies intelligent, and the levels, despite being repetitive, are pure classic. It is too bad, however, that Bungie did not have all the time it needed to shape Halo: Combat Evolved into the game they felt players wanted. They spent the next three years building and testing a game called Halo 2 -- now they'd have oodles of time to fine-tune the game play for this Block-Buster sequel.
Unlike some people who were very disappointed, I bought Halo 2 with very little expectations at all. I simply expected it to play like the original. I was still disappointed by this game. I will explain why:
Graphics: 8/10
The graphics in this sequel may look more detailed, but it is my personal opinion that they are far from better. There is too much detail and too small a view. Not to mention, I noticed the view is slightly cropped when I went to play split screen. In the original, the view WAS NOT cropped when playing split screen. I find it really, really hard to tell what's going on now, not to mention it gives me a bit of a headache because the game play has been slightly sped up but the view has slightly shrank. I do not care for the gun graphics either. The graphics pretty much remind me of Nintendo 64 graphics -- really, really good Nintendo 64 graphics (see Duke Nukem 64). People say this game has bump-mapping, and all that high-tech stuff that's supposed to make games look good. Well, it may have worked in Dead or Alive 3 but it isn't working in Halo 2.
Sound: 7/10
Voices, radio chatter, and the little sound effects throughout the game are memorable. However, it seems that Bungie cut down on enemy dialogue and gave the Marines more. The Marines now have quite a bit of personality with what they say. I would have liked an option to garble the Elite's dialogue once again; I find it much too corny for me to get intimidated by. The Grunts dialogue seems to be a bit less inspired as well. To make up for it, though, the lines the Brutes have to say during cut scenes are pretty scary, as are The Prophets. My biggest gripe, however, is that Bungie didn't think that the sound in Halo: Combat Evolved was good enough, so they changed some FX here and there. I do not like the way the plasma rifle sounds now. If it ain't broke DON'T FIX IT!
Game play: 6/10
Here's where the game suffers the most, I feel. Though you now play as both Master Chief and an Elite given the title: Arbiter, play as an Elite in Multi-player, fight new and frightening enemies, dual wield certain weapons, hi-jack vehicles, use Banshees Multi-player, that all is not enough to make up for how disappointed I am, and other people have/shall be, with this game. One of the aspects of Halo: Combat Evolved I like so much is the vast, mysterious playing field. You just want to get a lay of the land while playing that game, explore it to its very bowels. Halo 2 is different, though: the player is restricted to a very small playing field for most the game, and the whole idea of game play this time around is to wipe out all the enemy waves that come in for a fight. That is not what the original Halo was like. There are some other objectives throughout the game, but I find in Halo 2 it is much easier to get disoriented as opposed to Halo: Combat Evolved. Master Chief's speed is slightly faster in Halo 2 than it was in Halo: Combat Evolved, and that doesn't help at all. The whole pace of the game, the main reason I bought it, isn't as good as the original. Not to mention, a good portion of what I was looking forward to was a little one-on-one and one-on-two multi-player with my friends -- now that the view in split screen has been messed with I have three options: 1) put up with it (no) 2) buy two more x-boxes/tvs/Halo 2's (no) 3) Don't play (ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!). The game is so bad in this department I'm actually thinking of selling it and I've only only had it less than 1 whole day.
Story: 7/10
The story's average, with a few twists here and there. I do like Arbiters part in the story, not to mention the overall darkness of the game in comparison to Halo: Combat Evolved. There isn't really much I can say here without spoiling it, so I'll just say this: it's not as good as the original, it moves at a much quicker pace, and overall, it's kinda ... bleh.
I urge you, whether you're a long-time fan of the books, an eager Veteran of the lovable Halo: Combat Evolved X-box game, or new to the scene, to rent this game before you buy it. You may find that you love it, or you may find that there is more to be desired.
Overall: 7/10
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

Question: How do you organize your fresh water fly boxes? Do you have a Top-10 list of dry & wet flies that you'll always carry?
Mark C., Chattanooga, TN
Answer: There are lots of ways to organize your flies: by season, by species, by kind of water, by fly style, by color, and so on. Experts will obviously disagree on both of Mark's questions, so here's a sampling of responses from guides, writers, and fish bums of every stripe.

"The Diverse Functions Of Metallohydrolases: From Antibiotic Resistance To Osteoporosis"
Read more
Enzymologist with special interest in the catalytic mechanisms of enzymatic reactions with a view to develop specific inhibitors as drug leads. Prof. Gary Schenk is an enzymologist with an interest in investigating the catalytic mechanisms of enzymatic reactions with a view to develop specific inhibitors as drug leads. After receiving a Diploma in Chemistry in 1992 from the University of Berne in Switzerland, he joined the University of Queensland (UQ), where he was awarded a PhD in Biochemistry in 1997. After postdoctoral research at UQ, the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (England) and Stanford University (USA) he joined the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at UQ as a lecturer in 2003. Between 2011 and 2013 he held a joint professorship at UQ and the National University of Ireland – Maynooth, and since 2013 he holds a Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. Prof. Schenk has published over 100 publications to date and for his research achievements he was awarded a UQ Foundation Research Excellence Award in 2007 and a prestigious Future Fellowship in 2013.
The main focus of Prof. Schenk's Research is on a group of enzymes that require metal ions for their function and carry out hydrolytic types of reactions. These enzymes are classified as binuclear metallohydrolases, and members include the metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), the organophosphate-degrading phosphotriesterases (PTEs), the purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) and ureases. The spectrum of biological functions covered by these enzymes is very diverse. MBLs degrade and thus inactivate most commonly used β-lactam-based antibiotics (e.g. penicillin) and hence have become a major threat to global health care. PTEs have evolved very recently in response to a sharply increasing application of organophosphate pesticides. These enzymes are very effective in detoxifying pesticides (including nerve agents such as sarin and VX) and are thus of immense interest in bioremedial applications. PAPs and ureases are associated with osteoporosis and gastric ulcers, respectively, and consequently these enzymes have emerged as attractive targets to develop new drugs to combat those disorders. In Prof. Schenk group the structure and mechanism of MBLs, PTEs and PAPs are investigated. For MBLs and PAPs his group has been developing potent inhibitors as potential drug leads, whereas for PTEs in vitro evolution techniques were applied to generate mutants with desired catalytic properties. In summary, the work in Prof. Schenk's group is largely associated with protein chemistry and medicinal chemistry, but he has close collaborations with colleagues in Clinical Research Centres to test the effect of compounds they develop.
