My husband and I are looking for a short term apartment rental for our first trip to Budapest for 5 nights, June 28 to July 3, 2026. We had finally settled on the VI district near Andrassy ut only to discover the ban on short term rentals in that district that just went into effect. I know that we could still rent a hotel room, but we really like having an apartment with a washing machine and a kitchen/kitchenette (bonus points for a balcony or terrace). What other well connected areas or apartments do others have experience with?

Jeanine, check Mr E's updated hotel list. His post appears below yours. I recommended Collect residence. Hotel Apartments but some have a balcony, we had 2 bedrooms, full kitchen and there is a laundry in the basement.

I haven’t stayed at the Collect Residence but it looks nice to me and may be on my list for a future stay after Jennie’s report.
This is something I am going to struggle with also, as I always stay in an apartment in VI (although not the same one).
For my upcoming trip in April, I have one reserved in XIII right on 4/6 tram line at Jaszai Mari ter and the Margarit Bridge. There were several options in that area. There are options in V and VII (although I am a bit reluctant about parts of VII).
As Jennie said, Mr. Ë’s hotel post has some areas marked on a map that he could recommend for short term rentals. Just see what you can do to be as close to a bus, tram, or metro stop as you can be.

While not near Andrussy, the Adina Hotel Budapest is an apartment hotel. Every room has a full kitchen and the one and two bedrooms units also have a washing machine in each unit. I believe they supply a drying rack rather than an actual dryer.

Pretty darn inconvenient. But it’s their land so let’s see how this works out for them and hope for the best.
There are some links here for areas that are okay: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/hungary/budapest-updated-hotel-list The list also has 2 apartment hotels in the tourist area. My son is coming next weekend, and I have him in the K46 location so I will be able to tell you about that one soon. I like the location a lot. But it’s a modern infill building so no old-world charm in the building, but the street and neighborhood, yes.
For anyone looking, if the postal code is X06X then it’s in district VI and make darn sure its legal. The one my son will be in is set up as a hotel ... sort of a long explanation, but I understand it and its legal and was a smart move about 5 years ago.
Always feel free to post what you are looking at here and I will track down the building if possible and tell you if I know anything about it or the area. I am getting pretty good at it.
