About Bridgett Gill

Myself (Bridgett Gill) and my partner (Brendan Wheatley) are in our late fifties and involved in the world of opera. We run Swansea City Opera, a mid scale opera company which tours all over the UK, and also Opera Box, well known for its smaller shows and outdoor performances of opera. Both are registered charities. The history, culture and love of music of the Hungarian people were a great influencing factor in our decision to buy a classical apartment in Budapest. We were looking for an investment for our retirement and had planned to visit three countries before making our choice, but after seeing the beauty of Budapest and finding the Hungarian people so friendly and welcoming, we decided to look no further. We hope you love the city us much as we do!

Bridgett Gill purchased this apartment in 2007
Why Bridgett Gill chose Budapest

Because we live in a very old cottage in Wales and love historic houses, we were looking for a building and apartment that had history and original features. We think we have found the perfect apartment and have completely renovated and restored it with a lot of love and thought. As well as being in a beautiful building, designed by Budapest's second most famous architect -Joseph Hild, the apartment is close to all forms of public transport, and central to all the tourist attractions and the Opera House. In addition, because we love good food and wine, we chose a location with good restaurants close by! By the way I can heartily recommend Hungarian wine, not a lot of it is sold abroad as they keep most of it for themselves!

What makes this apartment unique

We took our time over renovating our apartment because we wanted to preserve the old Hungarian character whilst having all the advantages of modern living. We explored the fascinating antique come flea market on the outskirts of Budapest, called Ecseri, where we found our original light fittings and door handles, and visited many auction houses to buy original pictures and furniture that we then restored. When we bought our apartment in 2007 the courtyard and grand, classically arched interior of the house were still in a rather dilapidated state, the courtyard is now completely restored and redecorated. It looks fantastic and I know I shouldn't, but I feel very proud!

The apartment is in the perfect location, near the Basilica in the prestigious District 5. All the top tourist attractions are within an easy 10 min walking distance, including the Opera House, Parliament, National Art Museum, Castle District and the funicular railway, the Famous Chain Bridge and the Vaci Utca shopping street. It is also close to a supermarket and a covered market where you can by excellent fresh produce. It is also, very importantly, only 2 mins walk from some very good bars and restaurants; the Hungarians have some really excellent wine and food! The nearest metro station is 5 mins walk away, and bus and tram stops are 2 mins away. The apartment is also close to the street which houses all the prime antique shops specialising in Biedermeier and Art Deco furniture. Budapest is regaining its former glory, there is street after street of fabulous architecture, many buildings are fully renovated and many still have their rather shabby-chique charm.

Strictly no hen or stag parties. There are no special adaptations in the apartment but we have had one lady with limited mobility, who often used a wheelchair, staying at the apartment with a friend. She said she managed well but could not have managed on her own. There are 10 steps up to the lift, but the steps have a hand rail and once out of the lift, the corridor around the courtyard is wide. The doors in the apartment (apart from the one into the en-suite bathroom) are also wide enough for a wheel chair.

Apartment was just super

Review Submitted: 19 April 2013 Date of Stay: April 2013
Hi Bridgett
Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you. The apartment was just super, so well equipped and the pick up and drop off went smoothly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Budapest and realised that there was a lot more to see than we managed.
We also found that it was very walkable too and the location of the apartment could not have been better.
It was good to meet up with you and Brendan.
Our very best wishes.
Janet & Mike

Lovely time in Budapest

Review Submitted: 01 April 2013 Date of Stay: March 2013
Hello Bridgett,
Just wanted to say thank you for letting us use your lovely apartment. We were all very comfortable. We had a lovely time in Budapest in spite of the unseasonable weather! The wedding venue, the dress and the church have all been chosen, we had a look at a few apartments, but no decisions have been made yet, I may be in touch again as the position was fantastic for getting around.
Thanks again, best wishes Carole

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Budapest

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 27 March 2013 Date of Stay: March 2013
If you're looking to rent an apartment in the best location look no further! This is a big 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms apartment in central Budapest. It's beautifully furnished, very clean and well maintained with all the amenities you need for your stay.
You can walk to many of the famous attractions from here, or take the public transport (metro, trams, buses all within a few minutes walk).
There are several restaurants, bars, clubs around the area - in fact we wished we could have stayed longer to try them all!
Thank you Bridgett, we had a fabulous time and we will be back in your apartment next year!
Owner's Response: We are very lucky to have an apartment in the best part of Budapest - such a special and beautiful city!

Had a lovely time in Budapest

Review Submitted: 20 November 2012 Date of Stay: November 2012
Hi Bridgett,
Had a lovely time in Budapest. The apartment was fab, it had everything in it that we could wish for, with great local amenities and so close to many of the things we wanted to see! Jacqueline and I walked our socks off, the few days that we were there and both came home with throbbing feet!!
Our timing was pretty good as well, as the Christmas market was setting up on the day we arrived and was in full swing, by the Friday night! So we a some good fun trying to find some stocking fillers for Christmas that would fit in our luggage ... lots of choice!
Thanks and Regards
Margaret
