Alex and Ani
Your Sofia home as you’ve always imagined it! Definitely the best location in the city. Peaceful, cozy, warm, yet at the center of events! Welcome to your new Sofia home, located in the heart of the capital, within walking distance of all the tourist attractions and leading restaurants. Fall in love with this comfortable apartment, its spacious living room and bedroom, both overlooking the picturesque and green Shishman Street with its traditional architecture. If you’ve always wanted to see Sofia through the eyes of a local, then our apartment will offer you that and much more! Just walk up Shishman Street or Graf Ignatiev Street (also known as Grafa), both soon to be pedestrian streets, and you will find yourself surrounded by beloved cafés, bars, art and crafts stores, bookstores, galleries and even a local fruit and vegetables market. If you turn right to the end of Shishman Street, you will reach a magnificent horse statue, which is overlooking the main tourist attractions – the Sofia University and the Presidency. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is behind the parliament.
Hi, I am Alex and I have started using this new way of traveling a long time ago, as a tourist ,together with my beautiful wife and our three young children. We have visited a lot of places in Asia and Europe using throughout that great business model. This experience encouraged me to share my property with people like me who are passionate to traveling, meeting new friends, exploring different cultures and looking forward to experiencing new adventures. For me it will be a pleasure to host you and your friends and show you the best parts of our capital.
To experience local cuisine, just step out and turn right onto Shishman Street. The first place that deserves a lunch or dinner visit is “The little things”restaurant. Located in a house, dating back from the last century, this restaurant will present to you Grandmas homemade dishes with a bit of a modern twist. If you plan on visiting in the evening, a reservation is definitely a good idea. For all the vegetarians and vegans, one of the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants in Sofia is right around the corner! Be sure to check out the “Sun and Moon” restaurant and you definitely won’t be disappointed by the variety of vegetarian and vegan main dishes, sandwiches, cakes and pastries. If you’re interested in trying some traditional Bulgarian dishes in their pure form with no modern twists, the “Manastirska magernitsa ” restaurant is definitely worth your attention. With its authentic interior, the restaurant will give you an unforgettable experience when it comes to food. If you get tired of exploring, all you need to do is remember that home is just 10 minutes walking distance away.
