Etienne·5·Jan. 2020· "I had a very nice stay with Victor and Dan who were very generous, easy going and helpful hosts. City centre is not too far using bus and metro (also, Victor gave me a useful lift to the Dimitrov metro station on both arrival and departure). Around the corner are a few shops and a place to eat out if you're not eating in or in town. There's strong WiFi throughout the flat and a nice little desk/working space in the room. I would definitely go again."
