Oh I've done that drive more than a few times, as my family is Hungarian. Part of the reason I'm going is that my parents bought a nice apartment in the heart of town, and we need to do a little reno work. So definitely a working vacation, but getting out from behind the computer is worth it!
Budapest definitely has beautiful bones, but it still has a way to go in terms of cleaning itself up from the neglect the communists left behind. You can tell it was a really grand city though, and hopefully it can return to the glory sooner rather than later.
