Our Apartment and Landlady

While is San Luis Obispo we found our Plovdiv apartment on Airbnb and began communicating with our host Lili, who is a doctor. Lili met us the night we arrived, gave our driver directions through the old narrow streets, welcomed us graciously by opening a bottle of wine, and went to pick up pizza. We knew immediately that we had found a friend and that we were very lucky. She is quite short and full of energy. Her knowledge of English and the city is invaluable. Our stay in her apartment for six months is unusually long for an Airbnb, but the arrangement works very well for both of us. I felt strange at first like we were pre-empting her of her home. Her things are here and yet we live with them. She told us that she often rents one bedroom to someone while she stays in the other. She works in a nearby hospital specializing in children's diseases and genetics. She seems to genuinely love people. I am sure by the time we leave we will know her well. Right now I am thankful to have found such a kind soul.

I will share some pictures of the apartment.
