Finding a Student Apartment in Sofia: A Real Client Experience
Edited by our team into a first-person story from Abdalla’s published five-star Google review; it is not his own wording. The image is an editorial scene, not the reviewer or the apartment. Read our reviews on Google.
Coming to study in Bulgaria, I knew the hardest part would not be the studying. It would be finding somewhere to live.
Days of searching
And it was hard. For days on end I tried to find an apartment and got nowhere. Every day that passed without a place made the next one feel more urgent. When you are new to a city, not knowing where you will live hangs over everything else.
One call that changed things
So we called Greta. She came through straight away. She helped us immediately and found us a great apartment.
What stayed with me is that she was getting so many calls about apartments every day, and still she made sure we were not left without one. We were not just another enquiry in a busy week. Finally knowing we had a home was a real relief.
Knowing exactly what I was renting
Greta is extremely communicative. She told me everything I needed to know about the apartment and its details, so nothing came as a surprise.
She also didn’t disappear once she had found the place. She guided me through every step, from the first viewing all the way to renting the apartment. For a student in a new country, having one person you can rely on through the whole process makes all the difference.
If you are preparing your own search, the guide on how to rent an apartment in Sofia explains what to check at a viewing and in a rental agreement.
My advice to students arriving in Sofia
I give Greta my absolute recommendation for any student coming to study in Bulgaria. If you are arriving in Sofia and need student accommodation, she is the reliable, communicative agent you want, and she delivers.
