Guest Reviews

• Michel C. (10/5): - Le calme, l'emplacement et l'équipement de l'appartement
• Cristiano (10/5): Appartamento eccellente in zona centrale - Appartamento eccellente, situato in un punto strategico a circa due minuti a piedi dalla Cattedrale Nevski e a circa cinque minuti dalla zona centrale di Sofia e quindi dalle principali attrazioni. L'appartamento, pulitissimo, si compone di un ingresso ampio con scrivania e armadio, di un soggiorno con TV, di una stanza da letto, di una cucina a giorno e di un bagno. Il letto era molto comodo, così come anche i cuscini. Il servizio wifi semplice da utilizzare e molto veloce. L'illuminazione ben strutturata e facile da usare. Nell'appartamento ci sono molte cose che coccolano il cliente e che sono molto utili, come i comandi Alexa, il climatizzatore, accappatoi e molto altro. I gestori, Mark e Carol, sono stati davvero eccezionali. Ho ricevuto una serie di indicazioni molto utili prima del mio arrivo. Poi mi hanno atteso per consegnarmi le chiavi dell'appartamento e spiegarmi un po' di cose nonostante io sia arrivato in piena notte. Mark è stato sempre presente, gentile dall'inizio alla fine. Quando dovevo andare via mi ha persino accompagnato alla fermata della metro. Incontrare due persone come Mark e Carol fa la differenza, una vacanza può essere sicuramente molto più bella e piacevole grazie al loro prezioso aiuto. Insomma, un appartamento veramente ottimo! Nulla
• David (10/5): Great place near the Opera - Great location, very clean, lovely hosts (Mark and Carol) who met us at the train station to help us get to the flat, and had lots of little touches (bottle of wine, biscuits). Very well equipped (laundry tablets, dishwasher liquid etc). We would definitely book this again when coming to Sofia It's on the 3rd floor with no lift, but this wasn't a problem for us, especially as Mark kindly insisted on carrying a bag up. The shower floor needs to be mopped before one can next use the loo.
• Sevilla (10/5): - La ubicacion, los anfitiones 10 de 10
• Marcelo (10/5): - Everything. One of the top 3 accommodations I ever stayed in. The location is unbeatable, the hosts are the nicest, the property is absolutely one of a kind. Nothing.
• André (10/5): Perfect location, exceptional comfort, and the best stay we’ve ever had in Sofia! - We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this apartment in Sofia. The location is perfect—everything you could possibly need is just a short walk away, including supermarkets, restaurants, bars, tourist attractions, as well as easy access to public transportation like buses, metro, and tram. The apartment itself exceeded our expectations. It truly has everything (and more) you might need for a comfortable stay. Everything is of very high quality, the space is generous, extremely clean, and thoughtfully equipped with convenient features like Alexa, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The hosts welcomed us with open hearts and were incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay. Their hospitality made a big difference and made us feel right at home. Without a doubt, this is the best apartment we have ever stayed in during our travels. We would easily choose this place again on a future trip to Sofia—and honestly, we wouldn’t trade it even for a 5-star hotel. Highly recommended! Absolutely nothing.
• Giacomo (10/5): Amazing experience in the center of Sofia - We had a wonderful stay in Sofia thanks to Mark and Carol, who welcomed us with such thoughtful touches like water, Bulgarian wine, flag pins, and traditional Bulgarian lucky bracelets. They were incredibly kind hosts, always available for anything we needed and truly going above and beyond; they even invited us for a beer, and although we couldn't make it, we really appreciated the gesture! The house itself was very spacious and situated in a perfect location for exploring the city. Mark and Carol also took the time to explain exactly how to reach the airport using public transport, which made our departure completely stress-free. We would definitely stay here again! The only minor 'issue' was that the bathroom was a bit small, but everything else was so perfect that it didn't bother us at all.
• Martyna (10/5): Amazing hosts and great location - Hosts are the best. They were waiting for us at metro station and while we were walking to apartment they did a mini tour of Sofia and told some trivia about Bulgaria. What is more, we got small surprises and souvenirs from them like Martinica bracelets. We could not stop talking when we were checking out. Every major attraction is in walking distance.
• Mateusz Suszczewski (10/5): Perfect accommodation for city break on Sofia. Friendly and welcoming hosts - Great, very friendly and helpful hosts! Central location, possible robotics all the city attractions on foot. The appartment very well equipped with attention to details.
• Romica (10/5): Perfect stay in the heart of Sofia with amazing hosts - I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in the center of Sofia. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the cathedral and close to all the main attractions, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The apartment itself was excellent, and everything exceeded my expectations. What truly made the experience special were the hosts, Carol and Mark. They were kind, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. On top of that, they are genuinely warm, friendly, and have a great sense of humor, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I would gladly return to this property on my next visit to Sofia and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay. Everything was great.
• Mathilde (10/5): - What an amazing experience!! Mark and Carol are so kind, they are true human lovers. They are available before your arrival via WhatsApp to provide you with all the information you need, and they will welcome you at the metro or in front of the apartment. There was a bottle of Bulgarian wine for us in the apartment—such a thoughtful touch! The apartment is spacious, clean, and has everything you need for a great stay! We even spent an evening with Carol and Mark checking out some local bars. They are two people who love travel, discovery, and human connection. If you wish, they can truly help you experience authentic Bulgarian culture. We will cherish our trip to Sofia and leave with wonderful memories! Don't hesitate to book this apartment :) Nothing
• miriam Esgueva (10/5): - La hospitalidad y amabilidad de Mark y Carol es increíble, te lo dan absolutamente todo hecho y son super detallistas. El apartamento tiene todo tipo de detalles, la cama es muy cómoda y el apartamento a pesar de estar situado en pleno centro, es muy tranquilo y sin ruidos. El apartamento está domotizado y tiene la cocina con toda clase de utensilios y especias para cocinar, así como todo tipo de útiles de limpieza. El apartamento está súper limpio. Quizás había mucha luz en la habitación que te despertaba muy pronto. Con unas cortinas opacas sería suficiente.
• Pitarch Manasé (10/5): Experiència magnífica - Mark i Carol van ser dos amfitrions perfectes. Ens van posar totes les facilitats per entrar i sortir a les hores que vam voler. A més ens van ajudar molt a orientar-nos per la ciutat, ens van recomanar llocs i ens van acompanyar fins al metro. Es van assegurar que tot estigués al nostre gust i a punt. Mai havíem conegut a uns amfitrions tan simpàtics i amables. El pis està perfectament ubicat, just al costat de la catedral. A més és perfecte per dues persones, molt acollidor i net. Té tots els estris de cuina necessaris, de bany i altres d'addicionals. Si tornem a Sofia repetiríem al mateix lloc sense dubte.
• Mariana (10/5): - O Mark e a Carol são extremamente atenciosos, profissionais e muito cuidadosos. Tudo o que precisávamos, e mais além, tínhamos disponível. Foi realmente uma estadia 10/10. Aconselhamos sem pensar duas vezes.
• Villahermosa (10/5): - Mark y Carol son unos anfitriones espectaculares, en cada momento estaban pendientes de nuestra comunidad. Ha sido una estancia excelente y nos han mimado mucho. Les deseamos lo mejor y esperemos verles pronto. Un abrazo fuerte de Rubén y Rosa. ♥️ Sois los mejores !!!!
• Emmanuelle (10/5): - Mark et Carol nous ont accueilli avec beaucoup de chaleur et de gentillesse. L'appartement est bien équipé, calme, propre et bien localisé.
• Valentina (9/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Ottima accoglienza Mark e Carol ci hanno fornito tutte le indicazioni necessarie per poter arrivare dall’aeroporto alla fermata metro ..dove ci aspettavano con grande entusiasmo!l’appartamento è veramente delizioso, pulitissimo e tutto studiato nei minimi dettagli .. Mark e Carol sono stati, per tutto il ns soggiorno super disponibili dandoci anche diversi consigli … ci hanno fatto sentire a casa e super coccolati! Migliorerei giusto la doccia ma ci si adatta facilmente
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Sergio (10/5): Perfect Stay in the Heart of Sofia - What a hidden gem, and Bulgaria itself was just as delightful! The apartment is spotless, spacious and stylishly decorated. It’s bright, overlooks a main street yet remains peaceful, and is fully equipped with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The bed is comfortable, the TV includes several streaming platforms, the Wi-Fi is excellent, and the kitchen has all the essentials (kettle, oven, microwave, washing machine, pans and pots, plus oil and vinegar, which we appreciated). We stayed in late autumn and the heating was perfect (radiator in the bedroom and an electric heater in the living room). There’s also an air conditioner for warmer months. The location is superb, we didn’t need transport to explore the city. It’s a 5-minute walk to the cathedral and about 15 minutes to must-see spots like the Synagogue, Banya Bashi Mosque and Sveta Nedelya Cathedral. Serdika metro station is 10 minutes away and the Central Railway station about 30. There’s a Billa supermarket a 5-minute walk from the apartment. Best of all were the hosts, Mark and Carol. From the warm welcome message and clear arrival instructions to meeting us at the metro and walking us to the flat, their kindness made the trip special. They left some food and drink items to welcome us and kept in touch to make sure everything was perfect. Meeting hosts so friendly and passionate about their city truly made a difference. The only downside? Having to say goodbye. Highly recommended!
• Asya (10/5): Perfect 👌 - Everything was simply perfect! The apartment was spotlessly clean, cozy, and had everything I needed. The hosts were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming — they made me feel at home right away. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! Thank you Mark en Carol🙏🏼
• Dany (9/5): - Perfect position, Easy talking public transport s to airport...everywhere and near the departure for the " one-day tour"! Appt very clean and quiet. Very confortable bed...you have all you need! The brilliant point : Warm-hearted Mark and Carol, they are available to help you in any movement. With their advices and smiles. You will never be lost in Sofia! Nothing
• girandolabrujula (10/5): Sofia - Todo perfecto, bien ubicado, cómodo y limpísimo. El trato por parte de Mark y Carol fue inmejorable. Volveríamos a elegir este apartamento sin duda. Todo nos gustó
• SisaT (10/5): - If you are looking for acommodation in Sofia, this apartment is the best choise with everything. Location- you can see all main attraction by walking distance, if its not good weather, nearby tram is always a good option. Facility- it has everything what you need for short or a long stay. We loved the huge kitchen and that everything is new, modern..a lot of heart was put in to built this apartment and you can see it. Also during winter, there are 2 heaters, so you will be warm. Last but not least, this apartmant has the best hosts maybe not just in Sofia, but in all Bulgaria 🥰. Carol and Mark, you are doing excelent job, one can feels that they are safe, because of you..we felt we are going to meet our friends, no to explore unknown. I have been in 22 states, but you won as the best hosts I have ever stayed with. Thank you for everything and I hope, we will meet you again 🩵. we cound not stay longer
• Karen (10/5): SUPERB!! - Mark and Carol are excellent hosts! Ensured we had everything needed for a superb holiday. They go the extra mile to be certain you have a good time.
• vanessa (10/5): I’d happily stay again. Great value and a perfect base for exploring Sofia. - I loved my stay here. The location is unbeatable — the cathedral is around the corner, which is exactly where you want to be for exploring by foot, bus or tram. I could even pop back during the day to drop things off, then head out again. Despite being so central, the apartment was quiet. The place was spotless and well set up for a short break or a longer stay. Kitchen bits you actually need, good hot shower, reliable Wi-Fi, usefully placed power points, and little touches like being able to ask Alexa to switch the lights and music. There are supermarkets, restaurants and coffee spots close by. Mark and Carol are the kind of hosts you never forget — warm, organised, hilariously funny and genuinely caring. They gave me clear directions, met me on arrival with tea, coffee, water, biscuits and a bottle of wine, then carried my luggage up. During my stay they took me out for an afternoon to show me their favourite places around Sofia, full of great stories and tips. When it was time to go, they hauled my bags down, hailed my cab, and even sent me off with a little signed memento. I’ve travelled a lot and I’ve never met such a beautiful pair of souls.
• Мария (10/5): - Мястото е страхотно. Има си всичко необходимо. И наистина беше много чисто. Локацията наистина е много добра - аз не познавам София, но с малка разходка наоколо успях да видя доста от забележителностите, без дори да ги търся. Има и спирки на градски транспорт наоколо, а метро станция на около 10 мин. Също така доста ресторанти, кафенета и магазини. Сега и аз смятам да се присъединя към "култа" на Марк и Керъл и да споделя всъщност най-хубавата изненада от престоя ми. Шегувам се с "култ", понеже всички коментари хвалят домакините толкова много, че чак е подозрително. Е, всичко се оказа съвсем вярно - тези хора са страхотни! Случи се така, че пътувах сама и това малко ме притесняваше на непознато място, но с Марк и Керъл наоколо бях съвсем спокойна. Имам предвид, че те не само искат да са от помощ за всичко, от което може да имате нужда, но и сърдечно искат да си изкарате добре.Разбира се, без да се натрапват. Даваха ми инфо за транспорта, за ресторанти, общуването беше лесно и изобщо не усетих да съм сама. Те много често повтаряха колко много обичат България, но от отношението им личи, че и всеки гост им е скъп и накрая го правят свой приятел. Самите те са забележителност на София :). Thank you, Mark and Carol, I had a wonderful stay and you were big part of that! Now I'm a bit sorry that I did not come to get that drink with you, when you asked me. As a summary I would say - I came to Sofia, I saw Guns N' Roses, and I met you! It was all great!
• Maria (10/5): Highly recommended! - Great location, modern style and stunning views! Apartment is clean and furnitures are really comfortable. Everything is great.
• Matteo Buganini (10/5): A wonderful apartment in a town filled with green and a heartwarming sense of community - Cathedral Central Apartment Top Location is a cute apartment in a strategic position near Sofia's Alexander Nevski cathedral; it's very convenient to start visiting the town, and for rests during the day. It's very clean, simple yet elegant, and it provides a cooler, a kitchen and, above all, air conditioning and excellent Wi-Fi (with an included Firestick to watch movies -which you won't do, because Sofia is wonderful). Not only is it near to the most important monuments, it's also near a subway station and various local restaurants. However, the best "feature" is probably the hosts, Mark and Carol, whose kindness and thoughtfulness are unique: they will make you feel at home, and be treated as a special guest and a family friend; they will take care of you before and during your vacation, till the moment you'll get on the subway on your way back to the airport. It's a unique occasion to dialogue with someone who chose to live in Sofia and knows this town very well: so, if you are staying in Sofia, I highly recommend Cathedral Central Apartment Top Location. The bathroom is a bit tiny, so if you are not used to showers that share the space with the WC, you could find it a little uncomfortable. Still, it's very clean and easy to use.
• Martina (10/5): Warm and welcoming stay in Sofia - The apartment is in an excellent location in the city center, at a walking distance from all the touristic attractions. The hosts Mark and Carol take a prodigious care of every detail in the apartment that is very well equipped with every household appliance that makes your stay very comfortable especially if you’re staying for longer periods. They are also very passionate about making you feel at home and falling in love with Sofia as well as they do! They will also take a drink with you if you’d like as they’re very friendly and can give you various recommendations about restaurants and cafes. They picked us up from the underground exit and offered a very warm welcome, which we really appreciated. You really made our stay wonderful, thank you! No flaws, it was great.
• Maggie (9/5): Brilliant location and facilities near centre of Sofia - Met by hosts Mark and Carol at Metro who walked me to apartment. This was very reassuring to me travelling solo and arriving in the evening. Excellent location near the centre of city. Approachable and very friendly hosts who always on hand to help. nothing
• Pablo (10/5): Exceptional - Mark and Carol (the owners) are a nice couple. They will be there for you, whether it's to explain the details of the apartment, to recommend where to have a beer or to make sure you get to the airport on time.
• Sarah (10/5): Must Stay Location - You cannot go wrong staying at this apartment! The location is so central with the Cathedral around the corner (which also really handy as this is where a lot of the buses for day trips have a pick up and drop off point). The apartment has everything you could need for a short break or even longer. Mark and Carol are amazing hosts and so proud of Sofia. They will ensure you get to the apartment and make you feel at home. I've done many trips and never had such lovely welcome and departure. If you need any help, tips or advice they are on hand and more than willing to help. They ensured had tea, coffee and water on arrival (and the biscuits went down a treat). The apartment is quiet with local supermarket and coffee shops close by. It's a great base for exploring the beautiful city. I found myself being in the area to pop back in and drop stuff off during a day of sight seeing. The apartment was spotless and well equipped, little things like being able to ask Alexa to turn on and off the lights. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and Mark and Carol make a wonderful stay even more charming, we had a good laugh together. This place is not to be missed! Just like Sofia!
• Delmar (10/5): Exceptional - Carol and Mark are great hosts. They love Bulgaria and love to share their journey here. Take the time to get to know them over a coffee or a beer. They will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The apartment is spotless and well appointed. The location is perfect for wandering around the major sites of Central Sofia.
• Gerard (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous 👌 apartment, very modern with alexa in the rooms. Super clean, and Mark and Carrol know the mentality of the traveller, little perks to make your stay super easy and relaxed. Tram just outside the door. Short walk to Metro. Loads of little artisan restaurants, cafes, and bars within 200 metres of the apartment. Walkable to everything. By the way, Mark & Carrol are your friends you just haven't met yet. They are amazing hosts.Till we meet again, Thanks for everything G&B all good
• Lauren (10/5): Me and my boyfriend had a brilliant stay. Mark and Carol were great hosts who were very attentive and welcoming right up - The property was in a very convenient location near the centre of Sofia and had all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay.
• Milena (9/5): Great hosts and perfect location! - Great and friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome! Clean and tidy place with perfect location.
• Dilyana (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was great. It was very clean and well maintained and it had everything one might need and more. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and pay great attention to detail. This apartment is definitely worth visiting again.
• Scott (10/5): A great place to stay - What was not to like, Mark & Carol will go that extra mile to ensure your stay exceeds your expectations, the apartment is in a very good location, close to the main attractions and shopping area also close to very good restaurants, one of which is right on the doorstep ( Vino &Tapas) great food pleasant hosts and all reasonably priced... l can and will highly recommend Cathedral Central Apartment as a good choice to stay and will definitely stay here again... Picture 1 the apartment and entrance to Vino & Tapas. Picture 2 St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral A few minutes walk from the apartment Picture 3 Patatas Bravas from Vino & Tapas Picture 4 the Russian Cathedral a few minutes from The Nevsky Cathedral.. I honestly can't complain about anything during my time here..
• Boris (10/5): Exceptional - Mark and Carol are fantastic hosts if you want to stay in Sofia. Their apartment has top location (max 5 min walk to reach main places of interest). The apartment is very cozy and well maintained. But more of that is the attitude of the hosts towards their guests. I think Mark and Carol rent out their apartment not because of "business" rather than to meet different people and get new friends. They are really in love with Sofia, where they moved from the UK, and are thriving to share with guests their feelings to Bulgaria. We would definitely stay again at this place next time. Just to bear in mind that the apartment is not for those who require the elevator, as the building doesn't have one.
• Dimitrios (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was amazing, exceeded our expectations. Mark and Carol were the friendliest of hosts. Looking forward to our next visit. Truly is a prime location. Walking distance throughout the city, in a very safe neighborhood! Plenty of thoughtful amenities included with love!!
• Jennifer (10/5): A Wonderful Stay in Sofia - Although I had a late flight, Carol and Mark met me at the apartment and got me settled in. The place itself was lovely and had everything one might need, and the hosts were available if ever there was a question or to give recommendations. I had no complaints.
• Liuka (9/5): Very warm hosts who made sure I had everything I needed - All needed facilities for all situations, even a toothbrush and an umbrella all was fine
• Boyana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Briana (10/5): Exceptional - Mark and Carol are fantastic hosts! They have a genuine passion for making people feel welcome and special. The location of the property is superb!! Well-appointed and comfortable with separte office space, living area and bedroom.
• Krassen (10/5): Great place in the center of Sofia, impeccably managed. - Impeccable apartment in the center of Sofia, managed and maintained with extraordinary care and attention to detail by the hosts. Extremely clean, comfortable, and modern interior with all kinds of amenities. Super friendly and helpful hosts, always accessible. 10 out of 10!
