This is a Trusted Review. Why?
My wife's and my stayed at the Boomerang Apartment at Kálmán Imre utca 24, Apartment 2. It was a very nice apartment in a central location with excellent public transportation connections for our purposes.
The reception was superb! The young lady that met us and took us to the apartment made a thorough and plesent presentation of the apartment and of the city.
One suggestion to improve the apartment woud be to update the maintenance on the interior lighting.

ROOM DESCRIPTIONS:
Our main residence, like almost all the hostels in Budapest, is inside a quiet residential building; we're not a hotel. Here we have 4 tidy, private rooms with shared facilities, and a fully equipped kitchen for you to use. It's small enough to have you privacy if you wish and big enough where you are not left waiting for the bathroom. Since we are small, you will not meet lots of others if that is what you are looking for but you also won't be disturbed if you want to sleep late. If it feels like a home, that's because we try to make it that way.
Our ensuites are PRIVATE, private apartments that is. Ensuites are fully equipped apartments which are all still centrally located but off-site, within quick walking distance of the hostel if you need to stop by for internet or questions. Please note that if you book more than one ensuite they are not together but still not far apart either.

One suggestion to improve the apartment woud be to update the maintenance on the interior lighting. Both my wife and I like to and needed to read. Many of the lights were not functioning which made reading difficult. In general, the lack of lighting was a bit uncomfortable.
Also, it would be nice to have more than one key to the house and the apartment. My wife, unfortunately, was not able to come with me as intended to our meetings. That necessitated that I make what ammounted to long distance mobile telephone calls (Budapest to Austria to Budapest) to gain entrance to the apartment because I had to leave the keys with her.
Overall, however, I would be inclided to return, especially in the above suggestions could be accomodated.
