Champs-Élysées Sofia 2-BDR, 2-BTHR Tsar Simeon Suite by Flat Mаnager

Location. 15 minutes on foot to center 15 minutes to train station, ideal. Neighbourhood, women’s market and Lavon Most station close walk. Great metro connection to airport as well, don’t use Serdica exit, it’s massive countless exits and you’ll end up walking in circles forever, go on to Lavon Most, even with transfer required it’s easier. Super air conditioning, great space. Very well equipped kitchen, that matters to me. Beds were great. Did I say AC was great, it was great. Loved the neighbourhood vibe.

Super pissed that terrace wasn’t accessible. DO NOT lead with terrace as you main header for this apartment, I chose it for the terrace that’s 60% at least the space of the apartment, away from the road and pollution and noise, got a major runaround from host and after 2 days “sorry, not available” massive lie, it was a key access and the key had to have been lost and not replaced. Television access useless, but didn’t press that. Above all, and like the first Flat Manager apartment I booked in Sofia, the front access door is a horror to negotiate. What’s with these Sophia bank vault doors that have careened off there moorings and you’re getting a pit in your stomach 10 minutes before returning wondering if you’ll end up looking for a hotel. Actually researched online and learned maybe soft metal keys had worn, spent an hour and $20 at locksmith cutting new keys, useless but maybe nice souvenirs. Fortunately Snezhana the building manager showed us how to do the 30 second lock tease followed by a knee to the lower left side and pull of the handle up to the right - it’s insane. Fix your doors and get key codes, very anxiety provoking.

The appart is large and light, with great location

Bad washed towels , bad appertment cleaning

Property was very spacious

Many issues with the apartment like water leakage, very hard to open front door and malfunctioning heaters.

Nice and clean

The location

Nice and comfortable with everything you need for the stay.

Need to be a little bit more clean. The location is good, because is close to the center, but a little bit scary at the night time.

The location is oriental quarters with many Turkish and Arabic shops and businesses. The best feature is that there is a modest Turkish restaurant next door that, even though appearing modest, has veeery delicious and big dishes of Turkish food. It is withing walking distance from the most attractions including the pedestrian street Vitosha blvd.

The parking on the street is charged in the whole neighbourhood and it is difficult to tackle with a foreign phone. We got our car shackled by the parking patrol. Maybe some info on how to buy parking cards would be useful. One more thing. It is easier to sleep when ALL the doors of your apartment can be locked including the one to the balcony.
