Javier was an excellent host. He was attentive and helpful, responding with detailed information about everything from getting from the airport to messaging mid-stay to ensure all was going well.
As a single female traveling alone, I felt safe in this apartment and this part of town.
Grocery store, bakery, coffee all within a block. Easy in-out from the train station and the Sofia museum. (10-15 min walk.) Also two metro stations are close by.
Bed was very comfortable. Shower had wonderfully hot water, excellent pressure and was big by European standards. Kitchen equipped with basics should you want to cook.
Shutters help keep out the light at night but you will still hear the random city noises like others coming and going, driving down the street, putting glass in the recycle bin etc. It’s not a loud area but noise depends on others, as in any city.
