Guest Reviews
- Joan (8/5): We hebben genoten! - De locatie, de prettige ontvangst en dat wij onze fietsen binnen mochten stallen Inrichting kan gemoderniseerd worden maar voor ons goed genoeg
- Todor (8/5): -
- Grzegorz (9/5): - Lokalizacja, wielkość apartamentu i wyposażenie.
- Daniela (4/5): Very disappointing - The apartment was not clean and the first impression of our guests was very negative. The bed linen and towels looked worn out if not used. Our guests asked to move them to a hotel and we asked the owner who appeared to be a flat manager for a free cancellation. We received no response from him so we contacted customer service and were still trying to resolve this dispute.
- Dora (8/5): Ótima localização e sossego - A localização excelente . Muito perto de tudo a pé . Cafés e bares perto assim como supermercado num Shoping aberto até às 22h Não ter cortinas corretas para tapar a luz do sol totalmente

- Дарина (10/5): - Мога да кажа само хубави неща за престоя си! Локацията е чудесна, апартаментът е чист и поддържан. Просторно, удобно, обзаведено с всичко необходимо, че и повече! Пак бихме отседнали и ще препоръчаме и на приятели!
Тоалетната действително е прекалено тясна, на границата на използваемото, но съвършената чистота компенсира! Затова пък банята е в отделно помещение, просторна и удобна!
- Rafał (10/5): - Cleanliness, good location, good contact with the owner, reasonable price.

- Nilesh (9/5): Superb - The location of the apartment was perfect. Cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby. The kitchen could have been cleaner. Otherwise, the rest of the facilities were good.
- Assia (5/5): Passable - Great location! The front door deadbolt could not be locked from the inside. Both balcony doors did not have working locks. Didn’t feel safe.
- Mariana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Denise (10/5): Excellent Stay in a Little Gem - Our flight was delayed but Danail ensured we knew exactly what we needed to do to access the apartment. Nothing springs to mind - maybe an electric kettle but that is by the by (we just may not have seen it). There were still ways to boil water and the hob heated up really quickly.
- Маргарита (10/5): Exceptional -
- Teodora (10/5): Perfect location and anything you need is available. - There was coffee, pasta and a beautiful picture. An amazing place!

- Diarmuid (10/5): Thourghably enjoyable stay in a really nice apartment on a great street in Sofia! - The location is fantastic. On a great little street in Sofia. The apartment was above 2 bars but there was hardly any noise in the evenings. Also opposite a lovely little park which was nice. Nice vibrant street in what looked to be a lovely area and extremely safe in the evenings. The apartment actually had two balconies. I arrived very late (about 1am) but the keys were extremely easy to pick up. They were in a lock box on a railing just outside the apt. The owner had sent me 2 videos with easy instructions as to how to pick up the keys. He also texted me the next day to ask me how I was getting on which I thought was a nice touch My apartment was 7A but there was no numbers on the apt doors so it was quite hard to determine which was my apt. I was just about to figure it out from the videos that the owner had sent to me but it would be a good idea to have numbers on the doors of the apartments
- Felipe (7/5): Good - Big apartment located in a central area. The apartment could have been cleaner and was cold.
- Newrkla (7/5): Exceptional area but the apartment could be cleaner and safer. - The area is exceptional. A lot of Bars, cafes and shops in the streets and around the corner. Felt very safe going home as a woman in the evening. Busy area but I liked that a lot! Just underneath a beautiful flower shop that also smelled amazing. Public transport just a few minutes away by walk.
Check in was easy - comfortable bed Unfortunately it’s wasn’t possible to lock the door properly from the inside after closing it. Also the balcony door wasn’t possible to lock. Even tough the landlord told me it’s a safe area I didn’t feel so comfortable sleeping there by myself knowing that the balcony door isn’t locked at all.
The apartment was tidy but the floor was not very clean. My white socks turned black after two hours walking in the apartment. Also the balcony was so dirty I didn’t even dare to go outside.
Didn’t like that the payment wasn’t handled through booking but directly with the landlord.
- Krasimir (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location
- Ukmm94 (9/5): Mostly good - Excellent location
Good value for money
Well equipped kitchen
Quite warm
Comfortable furniture
Very clean Old fashioned door - got locked in because I stupidly locked the top part of the door and couldn't open
Far easier using lock codes as opposed to keys and old fashioned doors
- Slaveya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristina (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic, clean, comfortable apartment in the heart of Sofia!
- Dean (10/5): The apartment was clean and tidy, the owner was very precise in his instructions. I recommend this p - I liked the proper instructions given by the owner and the clean and tidy apartment.
- Rossitza (9/5): Superb - The host is very friendly and accommodating, resourceful - all problems are resolved quickly. The location is the best you can wish for. The rest room is inconvenient to use. I wished there were more towels and a kettle, but these shortfalls were not critical for meeting my basic needs.
- Rossitza (8/5): Suitable for a single person or a couple for a short stay in the heart of Sofia - The two biggest assets are the hosts and the location. Your basic needs are covered, but there is more to desire. There are two types of inconveniences to eradicate – those that need structural changes and those that are easily overcome.
The first is related to the size of the toilet and the placement of the sink and toilet. The room is too narrow and the sink is too close to the toilet, which guarantees a bump into the sink even for very tiny people like me, how would bigger people feel it is not hard to imagine, they wouldn't even be able to reach the toilet.
The second refers to the lack of towels in different sizes, toiletries, a kettle.
