Is Budapest really that dangerous city?

Hi,
My husband and I are planning a vacation and we would love to explore Hungary (maybe spend some time at lake Balaton and travel around). We would like to spend couple of days in Budapest too, but I heard some stories about how dangerous the city is (lot of pickpockets, homeless people etc.) so I'm wondering if it is a good idea to travel there with kids... What do you think?
Merci,
Gaelle

Dear Moha,
thanks for your reply! I'm sure we will have lot of fun in Budapest, it's such an impressive city :-) are there some places that should be avoided or is the centre generally safe?

I think that Budapest is a safe city.Really,many of the homeless people, and more neighborhoods in the suburbs are worse, but I think none of the dangerous.I think the probability of encountering the same problem as the average location.Many times I walk alone at night in Budapest, but still alive.Maybe 8th district, the center does not recommend it right away (example Orczy space), and 9th district of the southern part is not so much offer (Illatos Street).Anyway, I found a better night in Budapest, as in the daytime.
