How to rent successfully a Sofia apartment
There are a few important tips or rather issues on how to rent successfully one’s Sofia apartment, which will be shared here to help those who are looking for a good tenant. The first thing that interests most of the people who are in demand of a nice home in Sofia, is the good location. This is important because of the severe traffic in Sofia which is an issue if the tenant works far from home or if one comes for a city break and wants to see all the landmarks of the city. Now however, with the metro stations providing fast access, this key factor is not that crucial as it was in the past. Another factor connected with the location, is the access to some good restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The holiday-makers prefer the area around the Doctor’s Garden, Rakovska Street, Graf Ignatiev Street, the National Palace of Culture, etc. Those who are coming for longer periods to work, choose residential areas like Iztok and Buxton, Borovo and Mladost.
Another key factor for one’s Sofia apartment rental would be the parking issue. If coming for a short break, better do not hire rent-a-car and organize the sightseeing program by foot. If you intend to travel in the country as well or to stay for longer periods, good idea is to take a car and search for a Sofia accommodation with parking lot or close to paid parking zones. The travelers should know that there are only few public car parks, as well as many “blue zones” which are paid. The third key factor is the access to internet and cable or satellite television. If the trip to Sofia is only for the weekend, then the bills are paid by the property management companies, however when the tenant is renting an apartment for one or more months, then the bills are paid by the tenants themselves.
Another crucial factor when looking for a nice Sofia apartment to rent, is the security issue. Generally Sofia is a safe place, if the normal precautions are being taken. Most of the central Sofia apartments are set in old buildings that do not have guards. The rental apartments Sofia offers in the neighborhoods often are set in gated complexes with security guards. The last thing to consider when renting for a longer period is the neighbors. Usually the rental apartments in the heart of Sofia are surrounded by apartment units that are transformed into offices. The apartment units in the Sofia residential districts are usually placed in areas with young families which creates a pleasant atmosphere.
