Striptease clubs Kama, Cleo and Fetish (in that order)
I Went on R&R in Sofia with a colleague last weekend. All-round nice experience. Regarding the striptease clubs, Kama and Cleo were found out to be the best in town. Fetish seems to be a no-no.
The "barker" posted in front of Fetish Club on Vitosha, trying to lure the clients in, did his best; even at one point crossing the whole (pedestrian) boulevard to hand us a flyer.
He clearly did not recognise us as one of the bystanders witnessing a fight at the entrance of his door some hours earlier. On one hand there was a (probably unsatisfied/ unwilling to pay) client desperately trying to escape from inside, and on the other hand two bold bodybuilder-type guys chasing him towards the direction of the nearby Court House building. Not an encouraging act to lure us in as potential clients. Anyway, I’m a strong believer of mouth-to-mouth publicity (and websites like InternationalSexGuide of course). If a striptease club offers good service, people will come back and tell others. If, on the other hand, a striptease club is empty, and has to hire a guy to drag clients in, there probably must be a reason why the place is empty in the first place. So, no Fetish club this time, thanks.
Many of the Ladies dancing topless on the poles in the Cleopatra were clearly quite young, probably in the 18 to 25 range. Some beautiful firm natural tits and ass, nice shapes to look at, but no smiles. Their lack of enthusiasm resulted in boring turning-around-the-pole routine without inspiration. Some older women showed up dancing on the poles, probably to "set standards and give the good example" (of which the oldest one prudently kept her bikini on, . One should not tempt gravity without valid reason from a certain age on). But the swing and the mood were missing. The pricelist was standard; 5 Leva for entrance, 6 for a beer, 20 for the lap dance and 150 for leaving with the girl (. But the standard answer of the hostess goes: you-should-ask-the-girl, so probably the youngest ones were not for "take-away".) If you forgot your sigarettes at home, you can buy them there for. 5 euros (a reason to quit smoking? ).
Kamasutra won on point with it’s nice, not pushy atmosphere and excellent music. The girls look a little older, lets say 23 and up, and the lighting is arranged in this way the faces are not so visible, which can be a surprise sometimes later on during eventual close-up encounters. At one moment, there was a newby blonde girl auditioning in between dances, topless but with her jeans still on. She was quite a beauty, and after a series of well executed expressive strokes with her underbelly on the dancing pole, she apparently got genuinely excited, her nips getting all puffy. I think she has potential.
The other girls present were real highfliers. The acrobatics, gymnastic and erotic movements were rather masterfully executed. Sizzling wild long hair movements and up-side down hanging bodies everywhere; quite a show. During the lap dance on demand, the client may hold and caress the bottom and back of the performing artist. The next step (seen sometimes to be skipped) being the girly drink. Then the girl proposes the rates to the client; one hour for 150 Leva, outside the club. Well, you could see as many as six or seven girls per hour leaving (dressed up) with clients. For the rest, it was a confirmation of the known rates; 5 Leva to be paid at the hostess that shows you to your table, soft drinks as cheap as 4 Leva to liquor starting at 9 Leva, Lapdance 20 and girly drink. No comment.
At no point did we (or anybody else I noticed) feel threatened by the bold security guys of Kama or Cleo. I think, if you stick to the rules, you have nothing to fear there, contrary to what Tvasilis seems to suggests in his post.

Where to stay? Sofia apartments "Sara"!
[QUOTE=Longhardlook]According to some of the stuff I have seen on the internet, it is possible to rent a luxury one bedroom apartment bang right in the Center for around 50 Euros a night. With the little research I have so far done I’ve found one company that even picks you up free of charge from the airport.
Some of these apartments look fantastic with all mod cons from free broadband internet connection, flat screen cable television and DVD players to Queen Size beds and modern fully equipped kitchens with microwave ovens and crystal wine glasses but I can’t see this idea working too well if your flight arrives late at night, or even worse leaves early in the morning for who is going to check you in or check you out at that unearthly hour and check the inventory list? And how good will the guests ‘Word’ be to the letting agency if say on day 2 you notice a large cigarette burn on the carpet?
If anyone has rented an apartment in Sofia for only a few days, I would appreciate any feed back.[/QUOTE]First, let me say thanks to Longhardlook for his "Newbie guide to Sofia", which was a very complete source of intelligence, instrumental in my recent decision to select Sofia as a place to go to for the weekend. I followed his advice and took a Longhardlook (LOL) at the specialised real estate websites. In response to his request, here follows the feed-back.
After requiring additional information on the prices, eventual extra costs etc, the choice was quickly made. The guys of "Sara" talk English, are very client-friendly and act professionally. The webpage was first mentioned in the post of
[QUOTE=Rene 69]Here is the link for this company.
[url]http://www.sofiaapartments.net/en/apartments/BGSOF0022/[/url]
Enjoy it.[/QUOTE]Simple procedure; make your choice on the webpage, send a mail with your questions, book online by clicking on the "Make a Reservation" button, show up at the agreed time, receive the keys and pay on check in, enjoy your stay, abandon the keys on the table and disappear from the apartment by slamming the door (softly, discretely).
In general; the negative points
1. Sometimes the outside looks of the building where the apartment is situated is hideous/old/dirty.
2. The apartments are situated bang in the centre, so if coming with your car, parking can be a problem. Be careful not to be clamped or towed away, which seems SOP for foreign registered cars misbehaving.
3. On some details the finishing touch was missing; a broken (but still functioning) door handle of the fridge or a small hole in the leather sofa, quite some quantities of dust falling from the top of the closet when putting my luggage there, . I know, I’m a damn perfectionist.
4. Possible doomsday scenario; somebody that copied the keys, previous lodger for example, entering the apartment during your stay.
5. Eeuh, I’m still looking, but I believe I ran out of negative arguments.
The positive points
1. The inside of the apartments is really identical to the pictures shown on the webpage; WYSIWYG.
2. The apartments are situated bang in the centre, so once the parking problem solved, you can enjoy the rest of your stay walking around, because everything is really on walking distance.
3. Good prices; below 49 € per night for one bedroom, about 60 € for two bedrooms.
4. Very discrete, no doorman to tip, no extra charges for bringing a girl in. Takes away the fear some shy girls have to be recognized when entering a hotel with a man.
5. Plenty of hotel-quality freebees: free WiFi Internet, free use of the landline telephone inside Sofia, Cable and Satellite TV, . As well as booklets with tourist information and map of Sofia.
I have particularly appreciated
1. The business cards freely provided with address of the rented apartment, to show, for example, to the taxi driver. Very convenient.
2. The no-fuzz attitude regarding check-out, just leave the keys on the table and slam the door behind you on the agreed time.
3. No up front payment or credit card required. Simple cash payment in Euros on reception of the keys, whilst the information of the passport is registered. 4. The kind contact person, which gave his personal business card for 24/7 help in case something in the accommodation would go wrong.
5. We arrived at the apartment at 19:55 and had to wait ten minutes for the contact person to show up, but did not have to pay the extra 10 € for late (after eight) check-in.
My conclusion; if you’re looking for a discrete, well situated affordable accommodation in Sofia, without being too rigid on the (for our occidental standards) details, this is your best choice. If you’re looking for a luxury apartment in the very centre of a capital for 46 € per night, read this last phrase ten subsequent time and figure out the incompatible words for yourself.
