Salts Market 3BR Retreat by BulgarianHomes

rooms were spacious clean and comfy. location was good not too far from the center. good value for money.

communicating with the host was hard, it was a mission to get the keys at check in as the code was wrong multiple times. the bathroom was very small and cramped. had a few random powercuts throughout our stay.

Really good matresses on beds. All bedrooms have tv set. Really spacious and location is excellent. Kitchen has all the appliances and previous guests had left stuff like sugar, salt and cooking oil. We left our coffee leftover :)

Small things. Main bedroom didn't have curtains. Toilet is within shower curtain range so it gets wet while showering. Bathroom floor missing quite a lot tile joint filler. Bathroom sink has kitchen faucet and mixer head was twisted off (probably by some previous guest as it seemed broken). Any time we entered apartment, heavy cigarette smell welcomed. We thought previous guests had been smoking but later we realized some neighbor is doing it and smell enters through ventilation or chimney (investigation hit dead end).

This modest building from the socialist period is not just a house consisting of four walls; it is also a memory of ideologies, struggles for life and silent resistance. The moment you step through its door, you feel that the flow of time has stopped for a moment. The simple geometry of the furniture, the dark colors permeating the walls and the designs that prioritize functionality silently shed light on the social structure and understanding of life of the period. The objects in the house – the cast iron stove, the sofas with faded fabric but not lost any of their essence, the porcelain tea set arranged in the display case – reveal how patient and content the people of that period were with life. Each object is like the carrier of a life story. Perhaps the traces of the moments when a family fell silent while listening to the evening news and their eyes turned to each other still remain on the radio. But what is most impressive is the prayer corner in a quiet corner of the house. Although Soviet ideology kept a distance from religion, a headscarf, an old rosary or an icon standing here is proof that the people kept their faith alive. The traces of the prayers said in this corner can still be felt; as if someone had just knelt down and prayed for their loved ones. The place is not filled with silence, but with a deep inner peace. In every room of the house, the presence of people who once lived here is felt. A note hidden in a drawer, an old diary attached to the wall or a faded toy belonging to a child... All these details indicate that the house is not a museum, but a living memory. You are not alone in this structure; the footsteps of the past still echo on the wooden floor.

Cartier agreabil, in centrul orasului. Comunicare buna cu proprietarul.

Apartamentul este vechi, cu peretii murdari si mobila in majoritate uzata. Intrarea in cladire si casa scarii murdare. Miros neplacut in apartament. Am avut impresia ca unele cersafuri nu erau spalate. Desi am anuntat ca vom fi 9, paturile erau pregatite doar pentru 6 persoane. Mult sub asteptarile noastre.
