Just to bring you up to date: I have secured a host family. An American girl who studied in Budapest a few years ago recommended Emi and Kalman to me. They are an older couple who live in a small Soviet-era apartment in the northwest corner of the city. According to Kristin they are impeccably clean, the food is the best you'll find in Budapest, and they will look after me (vs. being in a "boarding house" where they are just interested in the $$). Between the two of them (they have 2 grown and married daughters who live nearby) they don't speak a word of English but that will be good (hopefully!) for my language learning.
The phone number at their apartment is 061 2453624. I will also be getting a cell phone, and will post the number when I have it. I'll also post pictures of the apartment and my host parents after I arrive.
Countdown to Budapast: 23 days!
