I think you describe it perfectly from what I can see from the photographs "Neo-Classical with Baroque overtones meet 1960s London Carnaby Street via the Italian Renaissance" just perfect, pure bliss!

Something I'm overdue for! I just blogged about an afternoon tea in Los Angeles and always have tea on my mind! I love the architecture of Budapest, would love to see it.

It's a complete flip-flop of perception for me. Well, that's just me but one thing I know, I'm whooshed away to Europe in this post!
