In season 114 episode 5 of House Hunters International, entitled "Waltzing to Budapest," viewers are taken on a journey through the lively and historic city of Budapest, Hungary. The episode follows American couple, Rob and Michelle, as they search for the perfect apartment in Budapest's bustling city center.
As the episode begins, Rob and Michelle explain that they have been dreaming of moving abroad for years. They both work remotely, allowing them the flexibility to live and work anywhere in the world. After much research, they settled on Budapest as their ideal location. The city's unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities, combined with its affordability, made it the perfect destination for their new adventure.
The couple's budget is set at $200,000 and they are looking for a two-bedroom apartment. Their wish list includes high ceilings, large windows, and plenty of natural light. They hope to find a place within walking distance of the city's famous thermal baths and nightlife.
The first apartment they view is a charming, renovated flat in the heart of Budapest's historic Jewish Quarter. The apartment has tall ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. It also has an open plan living area that flows seamlessly into the renovated kitchen. Although the apartment ticks many boxes, Rob and Michelle are hesitant about the building's lack of elevator. They worry about the climb up four flights of stairs every day.
The second apartment the couple views is located in the trendy District 7 neighborhood, known for its street art and vibrant nightlife. The two-bedroom apartment has a modern design, with an open concept living area and sleek kitchen. It also boasts a private balcony, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while taking in the city views. Although the location and design of the apartment appeal to Rob and Michelle, they feel the size is too small for their needs.
The final apartment the couple views is a spacious two-bedroom in the heart of Pest, near the Danube River. The apartment is newly renovated and has high ceilings, large windows, and an abundance of natural light. The living room has a stunning view of the city, including the nearby St. Stephen's Basilica. The location is perfect for the couple, just a short walk from the thermal baths and the city's nightlife. Rob and Michelle are thrilled with the apartment, but worry that it may exceed their budget.
After weighing their options, Rob and Michelle make an offer on the third apartment. With some careful budgeting, they are able to make the purchase within their financial means and finally have a place to call home in their beloved Budapest.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to stunning shots of Budapest's beauty and hear from locals about their experiences living in the city. The episode highlights the unique character and charm of Budapest, making viewers want to book a ticket and join Rob and Michelle in their new adventure.
