Spacious vintage 2BR, 2bath apartment
2 bedrooms
90m2
1 bathroom
4 people
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. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment allows you to enjoy a warm homely feeling, while also giving a curious peek into life in Sofia in the 1920's. 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 door of this first-floor apartment opens into a large hallway, giving access to:
• a vintage living room with a lovely oriel window and its very own antique rocking chair
• one spacious bedroom with a wardrobe, resting bench and a beautiful century-old hardwood floor
• another cozy bedroom with the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and toilet with a bidet
• a fully-equipped new retro-style kitchen with a dining area and a cozy windowed balcony
• a second common-area bathroom, also featuring a shower space and a toilet with a bidet
Both bedrooms feature:
• super comfortable queen-size beds;
• storage space;
• air conditioner;
• black-out curtains.
The living room provides:
• a big sofa and a vintage rocking chair;
• a 40" TV with 100+ cable channels;
• a laptop friendly work space/desk;
The retro-style kitchen is actually brand new and offers:
• oven with a fan, glass-ceramic stovetop with a ventilation hood, large fridge with a freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, retro-style electric kettle, coffee machine, washing machine and full kitchen supply;
• a dining area for 4;
• access to a private windowed balcony with garden furniture and plants.
Both bathrooms are equipped with walk-in showers that provide ample space. Both toilets feature built-in bidets.
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.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
