This renovated apartment is in a century-old house in the very heart of Sofia. The thoughtfully designed interior blends a classic, vintage feel with all the comforts of modern urban life.

It has a beautiful classical oriel window and a cozy closed balcony. Strong Wi-Fi connection is covering the entire property. The vintage house is a real jewel of the early 20th century, built in 1918. It is registered as a historical monument and was recently renovated. It is located in the very heart of the downtown area, right next to the Catholic church, across from the Western gate of ancient Serdica, and literally 5 minutes away on foot from the Statue of Sofia and the central "Serdica" metro station that provides direct access to the airport.

The design of this space intentionally preserved the original beautiful hardwood floors and doors of the apartment, so you would literally be walking on more than 100 years of history. The entire space pays homage to what Sofia was like in the second quarter of the 20th century. The walls are hung with beautiful vintage photos that show what some of the most famous landmarks looked like during that time period (can you find the same landmarks and compare?). The whole place is also decorated with curious, beautiful everyday treasures from my family's past - from century-old china sets through a refurbished rocking chair to a vintage Bakelite phone with a spin dialer (have you ever heard the oddly satisfying sound of such a dialer??). All of those offer an interesting peek into everyday life in the last Kingdom of Bulgaria. You will have access to the whole apartment. Flat Manager's team is at your disposal during your whole stay.
