Guest Reviews
- Fernando Borges (8/5): - O quarto é aconchegante e bem decorado. Fica a 15, 20 minutos andando dos principais pontos turisticos de Sofia. Não havia sabonete, apenas xampu no banheiro. A ducha só mantinha a água quente por menos de 5 minutos, o que beira o absurdo. Eu cheio de xampu na cabeça tendo que lavar com água mega gelada porque é realmente 4 minutos e meio de água quente....
- Val (2/5): - Decorated with good taste, location was walking distance from attractions I honestly do not understand how a place can receive more than 10 reviews complaining about the pillows being “like rocks” or “tree trunks” and still not replace them. They clearly know about the issue and simply do not care. I ended up with neck pain and torticollis after sleeping there. When I asked about it, they told me they had already changed them, which was obviously not true.
The amenities were ridiculously cheap. Tiny tiny sachets of soap and shampoo. I needed to ask for more. Completely unacceptable and miserly hospitality. Just one tiny garbage bag for 4 days stay.
The building entrance and staircase were dirty. A nice decoration inside the apartment is not enough. The entrance, stairs and overall access to the property are also part of the guest experience.
The cleaning lady knocked on my door 10 minutes before checkout time with a rude attitude, basically pushing me out. Because of the pressure and stress, I forgot a beautiful pajama I had brought with me. Never happened to me something like this.
This place feels like people trying to “play hotel” without understanding what hospitality actually means.
My advice: if you stay here, bring your own pillow unless you want neck pain.
Rating: 1/10. Learn what hospitality means before running accommodation.
- Christiane (7/5): ansprechendes Zimmer mit Schwächen - Die Lage war gut, die Kommunikation mit dem Personal war zügig u recht zielführend. Insgesamt recht ansprechendes Zimmer mit Schwächen. Das Haus stand offen, die Etage ist ebensowenig gesichert, nur das Zimmer mit einem simplen Zahlencode. Alles roch stark nach Schimmel, zeitweilig auch nach Abfluss, das wurde schnell behoben. Leider gibt es kein Besen o Kehrblech und auch keine Haken um zB nasse Jacken im Flur aufzuhängen - da es weder Schrank noch Stuhl mit Lehne gibt, ist Einfallsreichtum gefragt.
- Laura (7/5): - Lo mejor la localizacion. Está al lado de metro, bus y tranvía; cerca de la estación central de autobuses y trenes y a 20 minutos del centro de la ciudad. Buena relación calidad-precio. Y buena atención por parte del anfitrión. Está en un 4 piso sin ascensor. El baño huele mal y El agua caliente se acaba rápido. El colchón y sobre todo la almohada son incomodísimos.
- Patrycja (10/5): Great staff - The communication with the staff is great, through the messages you can really see their effort and care. It's very nice
- Anna (8/5): - The room had everything I needed for a weekend. Very quiet. The pillow was too hard
- Krešimir (9/5): A modern and cosy studio with a great location and appropriate price for value. - Value for the price.
Great location.
Comfortable and cosy.
Everything you need for a short-stay visit to Sofia. Thin walls means it can get noisy when all studios are busy.
Shower drain had a strong smell.
- watabe (10/5): - ・The room is just so cute—I absolutely loved it. Watching the snow fall through the window was beautiful, and on sunny days, the blue sky looked amazing. This room made me fall in love with Sofia.
・It’s a cozy space, but it has everything you need, including a kitchenette and a good shower. I didn't feel any inconvenience at all.
・The communication was nice. When I struggled with how to use the stove, they replied to my message immediately and were very helpful.
・The Wi-Fi was excellent. I had no issues at all with Zoom calls or even uploading videos.

- Vlaminck (8/5): -
- Lewis (10/5): - This apartment is gorgeous. Its located very close to the bus & train station. Within walking distance of downtown & everything that this incredible city has to offer.
- Stefano (10/5): -
- Mladen (1/5): Тотално недоволен,и погнусен. - Трагедия пълна не го препоръчвам.Мерише на клоака счупено легло за теливизията да не говорим всички канали кодирани а черешката на тортата е топлата вода с призива къпете се бързо.
Съвет към домакина:
Икономията е майка на мизерията.
На въпроса сега нищо не ми хареса. Да не се отдава под наем този коптор за да не се лъжат други хора.
- Guilherme (7/5): - Very nice location close to metro and bus stations. Cozy ambience. Safe neighborhood.
Very well equipped. Lovely staff. Building is old which affects plumbing
- Giovanni (9/5): - L'emplacement et le calme du quartier.
Les transports en communs sont tout près.
On peut aisément se rendre en centre ville à pied...
Gare routière et des trains à proximité.
Et le beau Marché des Femmes est à 10 minutes en marchant tranquillement.
Et pour n'importe quelle demande Stephan est à votre écoute... Le lit est un peu petit et la salle de bain aussi mais ce n'est pas bien grave...
- julia (9/5): -
- Yuliia (10/5): - I liked the apartment, very convenient location, it was clean, there was also everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owner allowed me to check in a little earlier, I am sincerely grateful for that. If you need apartments in the center of Sofia near the bus station - highly recommend
- Yulka (10/5): - Просторно,чисто,много добре подредени мебели,достатъчно място.
- Duygu (8/5): - Nicely renovated and very close to train station
- Maude (10/5): -
- Giacomarte (7/5): Posizione Centrale - Posizione centrale
Appartamento dotato del necessario per un soggiorno comodo Purtroppo ho avuto alcuni problemi tecnici.
Poi risolti, ma in alcuni momenti mi hanno reso la giornata difficoltosa.
- Andrea (4/5): - The bathroom smelt very bad. Not a place for a tall person as attic roof
- Francisco (9/5): - The place is nice, new and clean. Warm water at the shower and AC are working as its finest. The owner is responsive and helpful. The area and building look a bit sketchy but I was several weeks here and didn't have any problem, actually I quite felt people around are very kind. Wifi is working almost always pretty well and the roof window and the views are really cool. There are some bad odours coming from the bathroom from time to time. The quality of the bed is very bad, soft V-shape. It's not a big deal but roof inclinations are a bit tricky, be ready to hit your head sometimes.
- Robin (9/5): -
- Daniele (9/5): - Great location on a quiet street. Close to the bus and metro stations, with excellent and affordable restaurants nearby. The host was very kind and polite, and responded to all my questions. The only downside was the pillow, which was quite hard and large for my preference.
- Werner (10/5): Alles super! - Das Studio ist klein aber fein! Sauber, praktisch, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, super vor allem zu Bahn- und Busbahnhof gelegen!
- Vladimir (8/5): - Небольшой номер для одного. Удобства в порядке. Чисто, довольно ухоженно. Мне нужна была локация недалеко от автовокзала - я ее получил. Вообще удобное расположение: тихая такая улочка. До самого центра - одна станция метро, но пешком интереснее. Старые зелёные жилые кварталы 30-х - 60-х годов прошлого века. Это гораздо аутентичнее современных спальных районов. С персоналом встречи не было. Коды доступа прислали по sms. Все нормально, нет проблем
- ledmarasco (10/5): - Location and the whole studio! Everything was perfect!
- Alexandre (10/5): -
- Nurcan (10/5): An outside of the building can be a little scary. But the inside of the house is awesome -
- Silvia (8/5): Very good - It’s a small and simple apartment but it’s relatively new and you have everything you need. It was also clean. I was also working from here and I can confirm the Internet connection is very good.
Also the check-in and access to apartment is super easy and convenient since you don’t have to carry any key There was nothing severe but there are little inconveniences: you do need to be careful with your head or you will bump into the ceiling, you need to keep the toilet door closed because sometimes you feel a bit the smell of the toilet siphon, the pillow is a bit uncomfortable. Taking into account that I was staying 5 nights I would have expected a simple clean and just change of towels but that would have an extra charge. The building is old and dirty and you have to climb the stairs to the 4th floor. The apartment is still a 15/20min walk from the centre.
All in all, all these things were ok for me and the apartment was a good value for what I paid.
- Wenqian (8/5): Couldn't ask for more for its price! - -This is the apartment next to the wall and not to the main door so I think it might be the one with the best sound insulation, compared to other six apartments in the same space. You have apartment 4 next to you and apartment 5,6,7 are linked together and on the opposite side.
-As described, the location is 6 min walk to the nearest train station and only 1 stop you are in the center of Sofia.
-The apartment is equipped with good basic things, shower gels, towels, hairdryer, fridge etc.
-And there is AC. It's a great plus especially now it's summer so I can enjoy some cool air.
-The host was responsive and always sent messages to make sure everything was okay. I asked for additional shower gels and shampoo and it was arranged immediately.
-The price. There's some imperfections but I couldn't ask for more for its price. All in all, a good deal. -The pillow is very high and thick, it made my neck hurt a lot the first night and I couldn't sleep well. I talked to the host about it but there's nothing he can do. So the second and other nights I had to use a low side-pillow (I covered it with a towel) that's not meant for sleeping.
-The bathroom stinks a bit, I think it's from the sewer. Had to close the door when not using it.
-You can hear the movements from other apartments. But luckily when I was sleeping no one was making noises. So it depends on the quality of the other guests in the other apartments. If you're in luck then it's quite quiet.
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional - I liked it’s proximity to the metro and markets.
- Joren (10/5): Exceptional - If you prefer walking then location is perfect for you...pretty much near the Central Bus Station, hassle free contactless check in.. clean. not that i can think of..
- Marina (5/5): Passable - It was a good location When I arrived the apartment was dirty. No cleaning was done.
- Olivian-claudiu (10/5): Great place, I recommend it! - I liked the location, clean, nice, plenty of things available.
There were the basic necessities for living in such a place - fridge, heater, tea maker, stove.
The shower was nice.
I had pleasant online conversations with the host. In the neighborhood a dog barked in an evening on a dark street, while going to the location, there are stray dogs in Sofia, it seems.
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Nice room, good location
- Nicholas (8/5): Very good - Welcoming atmosphere
Modernity
Cleanliness
Well equipped. Lots of stairs to reach apartment
Annoyingly low ceiling meant frequent bangs on the head
Uncomfortable pillow
- Cesar (8/5): Very good - The apartment was really compact, it has everything that a traveller need. Mattress was to soft.
- Dawn (8/5): Beautiful place! - It’s was very central, easy to access, very nice and new furniture and newly renovated.
The kitchen is well maintained and has got everything you need. Beautiful place! The owner is nice, but I got offered help in any situation and so I asked for another pillow bc the one in the bed was very high and hard. He answered they have not got another one but suggested to use a towel. As I was using the towels for my body I asked for another one. Which I also did not get. I was a bit disappointed by this bc if you offer help you should life up to that.
But apart from that really great place!
- Bogdan (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, close to the central bus station. The apartment was clean and had everything I needed. The host was helpful.
- Scott (7/5): Good -
- Dan (10/5): Small but might studio! - The layout is extremely functional for a very small space. It is well designed in regards to placement of bed, kitchen, TV, bathroom, and lighting. I don’t think anything could be improved, I loved it.
- Lyon (7/5): Good - Comfortable mattress, quiet at night. If you are not afraid of hitting your head on the ceiling several times and sudden cold water in the shower, this room is for you) the electronic locks do not work accurately, I had to try to open the door several times. location is average.
