Square eyed from non-stop screen time comparing Airbnbs in Sofia. Getting pretty good at reading the code, too. Great view (from a city centre flat) translates as fourth or fifth floor. If the building is “traditional”, or even just old, it will not have a lift. While still willing to walk up five floors, I prefer not learning about this feature from the fortieth review. Could also give hosts some tips on photography. Potential guests want to see what’s in the place, not how good you are at trick photography. The guest isn’t thinking it was clever to be able to get that triple mirror shot while strapped to the ceiling. She’s thinking that all those mirrors might be disguising the fact that there’s no shower. And people don’t peer at the kitchen photos to assess the hyacinths or the fruit bowl. They’re counting appliances. Hoping there’s a microwave and that there is somewhere to put it other than on top of a hotplate. They’re wondering whether the toaster mentioned in amenities is missing from the kitchen line up because it’s in a cupboard or because it’s died and not been replaced.
Could actually summon up quite a lot of unsolicited advice about bnb hosting but probably best not. Anyway, now booked, come April, in a bnb in Sofia. Definitely central, and can’t remember how many storeys up, or have blacked it out.
Shame about the timing, actually, as Ancestry giving a weekend’s free access, so a bit of happy, if unorganised searching. Now have a wedding date in 1599 for 9x great grandparents, married in a Church in Kent that we visited some years ago.
