SOHO Apartment – City View with Rooftop Garden

First Impressions

Walking into SOHO Apartment – City View with Rooftop Garden on the eighth floor of this modern bloc in Sector 3, I honestly wasn’t expecting much — but this four-star place completely surprised me. The South entrance leads you up to what feels more like a stylish urban retreat than your typical Bucharest apartment rental. You know what really caught my attention? The way the city sprawls out below you through those floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you this perfect snapshot of Romania’s capital that most tourists never get to see.

The Space Itself

The room setup is actually pretty clever — it’s got this open-plan design that makes the space feel way bigger than it probably is. I mean, you’re getting proper city views without feeling cramped, which is honestly rare in Bucharest’s apartment scene. The kitchen area is well-equipped enough that you could actually cook if you wanted to (though with all the great Romanian food nearby, why would you?). What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to keep it feeling homey rather than sterile — there are these thoughtful touches that make it clear someone actually cares about the guest experience.

That Rooftop Garden

Here’s where this place really shines — the rooftop garden is genuinely special. It’s not huge, but it’s this peaceful little escape where you can actually breathe and get away from Bucharest’s sometimes chaotic energy. I spent way more time up there than I planned, especially in the evenings when the city lights start twinkling below. Couples clearly get it — the feedback about this being perfect for romantic trips makes total sense when you’re watching the sunset from up there with a glass of wine.

Location & Getting Around

Strada Moților might not sound familiar if you’re new to Bucharest, but it’s actually positioned really well for exploring the city. You’re in Sector 3, which puts you close enough to the action without being right in the tourist chaos of the Old Town. The metro connections are solid, and honestly, I found myself walking to a lot of places because the neighborhood has this authentic Romanian feel that you miss when you stay in the more obvious hotel districts. Plus, there’s decent parking if you’re brave enough to drive in Bucharest (though I’d recommend sticking to public transport).

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 rating isn’t just numbers — this place genuinely delivers on creating something special. It’s the kind of spot where you feel like you’re living in Bucharest rather than just visiting it, but with all the comfort and style you want from a quality stay. The combination of those city views, the rooftop access, and being in a real neighborhood rather than a tourist bubble creates this perfect balance. I get why couples rate it so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little perch above the city, especially when everything works as smoothly as it does here.

Bucharest’s apartments welcome families seeking playgrounds, nearby parks, and tram rides to museum clusters.
