• Milan (10/5): Schoon, comfortabel en superaardige host - Alles is spik en span bij aankomst. Je wordt een warm welkom geheten door de host en wil je met alles helpen. Accomodatie ligt zeer centraal. Je moet bereid zijn iemand af te kappen in zijn verhaal, want het liefst praat de host de hele dag tegen je hahaha.
• Franca (9/5): Perfetta soluzione in un’ottima posizione - La posizione pulizia accoglienza e la cura di alcuni arredi Manca il box doccia

• diego (10/5): - Appartamento sito al.primo piano di una casa storica tipica . A due passi dal centro , silenzioso L ' alloggio e' adorabile , semplice, spazioso ,accogliente . Arredato con mobili d' epoca restaurati . Camera con letti comodissimi , cucina ospitale con tutto il necessario per chi vuole cucinare . Bagno piccolino ma funzionale con doccia super . I condizionatori funzionano benissimo e scaldano come si deve nonostante il freddo fuori. L ' host e' stato gentilissimo.e di grande aiuto , si vede e si percepisce dai piccoli dettagli che ci mette il cuore e tanta cura e passione in quello che fa ,, piano piano diventerà tutto perfetto . Lo consiglio vivamente. Non esserci stati di piu' , purtroppo abbiamo avuto davvero troppo poco tempo per fare 2 chiacchiere con lui e goderci l ' appartamento.
• Gariboldi (9/5): esperienza culturale immersiva 10/10 - L’appartamento è vicino al centro (si raggiunge a piedi) ed è molto pulito e attrezzato con tutto il necessario per il soggiorno nella proprietà. Il proprietario è una persona meravigliosa con cui si può parlare e soprattutto che vale la pena di essere ascoltata. Io e i miei amici abbiamo avuto molte conversazioni con lui di ore che ci hanno fanno capire il valore del palazzo e della città. Una persona super dedita a quello che fa e che mette cuore e anima nel suo progetto che mi fa tornare a casa con un bellissimo ricordo della città. Non vediamo l’ora di tornare e vederlo completato! Consiglio assolutamente il soggiorno. PS rapporto qualità prezzo giustissimo

• Schmidt (9/5): ein besonderer Ort, mit einem herzlichen Gastgeber. Hier kann man sich wohl fühlen, alles hängt natürlich von seinen Bed - Wir waren für zwei Nächte in der Unterkunft und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Betten waren hervorragend. Von hier aus könnten wir alles zu Fuß besichtigen. Die Nähe zu den Wasserquellen hat uns besonders gefallen. vielleicht ist das Bad ein bisschen klein, darauf muss man sich einstellen, aber das ist auch okay.
• Surresh Babu (9/5): Great Stay - The host was very friendly and helpful. Felt as if staying at our own house.

• Tímea (10/5): - Vàrosközpont és a làtnivalòk tényleg közel vannak. Pàr perc sétàra vannak a fő látványosságok. Nem gondoltam, hogy az apartman ennyire a központban helyezkedik el, nagyon jò helyen. Hàzigazda nagyon kedves, segìtőkész.

• Ali (10/5): -
• Dolores (10/5): 100% Recomendable - Totalmente recomendable: el dueño es una persona cercana y encantadora. El alojamiento muuuy limpio y agradable con cocina y lavadora, y está en plena centro, se visita a pie con facilidad. Si viajáis en coche, es zona azul. Por cierto a unos 6’ caminando desde el alojamiento, enfrente de la mezquita, hay un supermercado muy grande dentro del edificio del antiguo mercado. Por cierto, muy conveniente para ir al aeropuerto: se va en metro, pasa con frecuencia y el ticket no vale más de 1€. Sorprendente.

À quelques pas des principaux sites touristiques, c’est un excellent point de départ parfait pour explorer la ville à pied. Rien
• Andrii (10/5): - Чудове розташування в центрі Софії, пару хвилин ходьби від автовокзалу та залізничного вокзалу. Власник привітний, номер чистий, на кухні є все для приготування домашньої їжі.
• Martina (10/5): - Posizione ottima, pulizia impeccabile, host gentilissimo, aria condizionata e Wi-Fi comodissimi. Nulla
• Ai (10/5): オーナーのキャラが光る、居心地のいい宿 - たくさん一人旅をしてきましたが、こんなにオーナーの話が楽しかった宿はありません。ソフィアやブルガリアの歴史、Aykiさん本人や宿の話など、異国の物語のようで、いつまで聞いても飽きず、ブルガリアの印象を変える体験ができました。お部屋自体はとても清潔で素晴らしく掃除が行き届いています。キッチン、バスルーム、ベッドルームは廊下でつながり広いスペースが取られていて、外からは二重の扉に鍵がかかるようになっていて、プライバシーも完全に守られています。ギリシャから到着するバスターミナルから歩ける距離にあり、飲食店や観光スポットにも近いです。 特にありません。 建物を徐々にリノベーションしていくようなので、次に来た時の変化が楽しみです。
• remigio (9/5): Un buon soggiorno da un amichevole e premuroso host - Ottima posizione centrale e comoda a tutto . Cucina ben attrezzata per prepararsi i pasti Tutto è come il proposto

• Vicvashdez (10/5): Great apartment on a great location. - Apartment was perfect for 3-4 days stay. Host (Ayki) is a very kind and helpful person. Apartment is located pretty close the metro station (5 min walk) and downtown (7 min walk). We like the apartment and the furniture. We even had the opp to wash our clothes there. I would definitely stay here again. The bath is pretty tiny and the pillows could improve, but this didn't really affect our stay.
• Miranda (10/5): History, comfort and convenience all in one! - Excellent accommodation! small with everything you need - kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Beds were comfortable and internal temperature was pleasant (with the option to increase or decrease). Very clean and owner is very friendly - he gave us a lot of tips on what to do in the city and where to eat. His passion for the history of this house, of the country and the world in general can be felt in the way he speaks and in the decor of the house. Lovely little back yard as well. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is also a washing machine. Location is good - close to attractions, transport and supermarkets. Highly recommended!
• Nikolay (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is very cozy and nice (even better than on the photo). The furniture is vintage (home style) and you can see that it is well cared for. The room was very clean, the apartment itself is well heated. The house is on a narrow street, quiet and peaceful at night. Very nice and sociable host, if you want to talk, he is happy to tell you everything and support different topics. There are stores and metro stations nearby. The house itself is antique and the owner talked about how he takes care of it, the year it was built and such, which was quite interesting.
• Robert (10/5): We wish we could have stayed longer. - A lovely old building with guest space tastefully and completely renovated by a genial and informative host. When Ayki finishes the project his place will be stunning.

There wasn't much not to like.
• Elisabeth (10/5): Excellent accommodation to experience beautiful Sofia - Fantastic apartment with all you could need for a trip to Sofia. Excellent location just a short walk to the city centre and many of the main attractions. Metro and tram stops close by. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. He provided a map and detailed suggestions of places to visit and eat which helped us experience the very best of Sofia. Nothing. I could not recommend this more highly.
• Francis (9/5): Great stay at a characterful apartment - Ayki apartment was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well located. I received a very hospitable welcome from Aydemir , who was friendly and informative with fine knowledge of the local area. We didn't find anything not to like.

• Arlene (9/5): Superb -
• Ljiljana (10/5): Charming Historic Stay in the Heart of Sofia - My stay at the charming historic house in the heart of Sofia was an absolute delight. Situated in the bustling center of Serdika, this accommodation offers not just a place to stay, but an immersion into the rich history and vibrant culture of Sofia. The house, dating back to 1910, exudes character and charm at every turn, yet it is still surrounded by modern comforts. The whole first floor of the house was ours to enjoy, providing ample space and privacy. The original archaic setting has been beautifully preserved, adding to the unique ambiance of the place. Location-wise, it couldn't have been more perfect. With iconic landmarks such as the Presidential Palace, Saint Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and Banya Bashi Mosque just a casual stroll away, exploring Sofia's treasures was effortless. Additionally, being close to attractions like the Lady's Market, University of Sofia, Lions Bridge, Central Bus Station, and Serdika Metro Station made getting around incredibly convenient. What truly elevated my experience was the hospitality of our host. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us warmly and provided valuable insights into both the house's history and Sofia's tourist offerings. His genuine care and attentiveness ensured that we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our stay. The apartment was immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable, guaranteeing a restful night's sleep after a day of exploration. In conclusion, my stay at this historic house exceeded all expectations. It seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern convenience, making it the perfect base for experiencing Sofia's wonders. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and memorable accommodation experience in the heart of the city.

He stayed with us, making several calls to the taxi company, until I was able to get my phone back. The house is great for 3 people et very close by foot to all main attraction on the city. Perfect stay, perfect host, great city. Just an amazing experience overall.

• Matthew (9/5): I recommend this place - it is a good value for money and you could not ask for a better host. - It was a nice, quiet location. The heating was great and there was plenty of hot water. It had all the standard kitchen equipment you might need. There were only a few stairs to get to the unit. The host was very friendly and helpful. The shower controls were at hip level and there is no separate shower stall and I bumped them a couple times when using the toilet and sprayed myself.
