Good day everyone! I would like to offer you something exotic. Well not really exotic in the sense of palm trees, but still. ;)I have an apartment in Sofia, Bulgaria - the melting pot of where East meets West. The food is absolutely finger licking and traditional, I have heard this from the many tourists I have met. Sofia is one of the few cities in Europe where we have an over 1000-meter-high mountain just overlooking the city - so you actually can make a city break + nature treks in the same holiday! As an opera lover, my apartment is close to the Opera house which is usually quite popular and sold out these days. So basically you can do city/nature/foodie/cultural travel whichever suits you!
More about the apartment: It is a 1 bedroom apartment about 40m2 - suits 2 - with 2 balconies, air conditioner, in a new building with a lift. It is in the ideal center of Sofia. You have a metro station 8 minutes away, and a train station 20 mins walking distance.
About the area:
⌲24/7 grocery store ⌲24/7 alcohol and tobacco shop⌲Big grocery store ⌲Dry cleaning ⌲Vegan corner ⌲Stylish restaurants around the Opera house and Alexander Nevski ⌲ATM ⌲Bus stop ⌲Taxis passing by every 5 minutes day or night (the apartment is on a quiet street)!
I speak English, Italian, Russian, and Bulgarian.
