The space
Curious about what makes Sofia so weirdly wonderful? Aimed at the experience-loving urban explorer, our apartment is perfectly situated to sample some of Sofia’s favourite pastimes – people watching, meeting friends, catching a movie and drinking copious amounts of coffee (among other things!)

Located in the top centre, in a secure block between Sofia‘s largest park and iconic Shishman street with its quirky shops (organic food, wineries, vintage clothes and décor), refined eateries and merry bars. A 10-minute walk will take you to Sofia’s main pedestrian and shopping street (Vitosha) and NDK. Step out and wander through Sofia’s vibrant streets, enjoy the architecturally eclectic old neighbourhood, pick up local ingredients from the nearby Farmer's Market to craft a meal in the fully-stocked kitchen or simply unwind and relax in the peaceful surroundings.

Our place has a walk score of 93!

Guest access
Flexible check-in/out. Luggage storage provided for early arrivals/late departures.
We welcome each of our guests in person.

Other things to note
As urban living goes, you may expect some traffic noise outside the building. Inside, we have taken care of the situation with state-of-the-art triple-glazed windows.

My work: Freelancers – financial services and translation
Hi, we’re Elka and George, a couple from Sofia, Bulgaria. We were brought together by our mutual love of travelling (and road cycling!). We are both freelancers, keen on sports, camping and the great outdoors. We have travelled extensively in Europe, both with and without our two kids, and have seen our fair share of hotels and Airbnb apartments. With an educational background in hospitality (Elka), we finally decided to put our passion to work by lovingly crafting our very own sanctuary for couples and small families wishing to get to know our fantastic city. We can’t wait to meet our fellow travellers and provide them with the warmth, care and hospitality that we ourselves have received across Europe.
