If you’re interested in specific spots I can dig through some photos and look up the airbnbs we stayed in

We stayed in an amazing place in Budapest super modern and cool but it doesn’t look like the host owns it anymore

Edit* forgot some basic tips we’ve kinda gone through over numerous trips now:

- if you’re into good coffee, look at the reviews with pictures and find a place that does latte art, any place that the baristas can do latte art generally will have better quality coffee, more experienced baristas.

- unless you’re set on a specific restaurant, always do the walk past and go back if you can’t find anything better, especially in touristy areas. So many terribly disappointing meals due to being hungry and sitting down at the most convenient place possible, but walking past the first place and looking at 2-3 in the surrounding area almost always yields better results.

- not sure if this is your first or 4th time in Europe but imo, ESPECIALLY for longer trips, don’t skimp on accommodation. Personally I’ve never been one to have that mentality of “I oNLy uSE tHe rOoM fEr sLeEPiNG” anyways but on longer trips imo it’s essential to have a nice space to go back to rather than some dump you don’t want to be in. Generally it’s the difference of $100 a night to $140-$150 a night which is 100000x worth it imo. You don’t remember the extra money you spent but you’ll remember the shitty place you hated
