What do you think of an apartment on the first floor above shops / restaurants I'm talking about those who have larger terraces than the upper floors. I like such large terraces, it's almost like being in a house with a small yard (ordinary houses have such mini gardens). I worked in one and there were no problems. We even had a nice view (the block is on a hill and there are no big blocks nearby, there are only houses). We also had sun during the day respectively. On one side we had sunbeds, chairs and tables, on the other to the street nothing, but the terrace was still large. The bad thing is that in BG and especially here in Sofia everything has been rebuilt en masse and you can take the view and the sun on a low floor. What is your opinion? I think that such apartments with balconies above the ground floor with shops are rare, but I prefer them because of the large terraces.

This summer we bought an apartment in Veliko Tarnovo. On the tours we saw several apartments above shops. One was very nice and with the lodgers still inside it. They told us how until recently there was a shop under them and the air conditioners roared ugly. At that point, the store had moved and the room was for rent, so it was super quiet. We did not decide to take a risk over the store, regardless of whether there is a nice terrace or not. We bought an apartment on the third floor in a building that also has shops on the ground floor. The neighbor has used the roof over the shops and there really are thousands of flowers, it looks like an oasis, but everyone throws their face on her flowers.
What is it for you - to collect the garbage and butts from the upper floors? Well, they'll pound their carpets, shake their crumbs, and maybe blow their cut hair. In addition, the open terraces are raining and snowing. When 20 cm of snow falls, what will you do? You will have to throw it in the yard or sidewalk, you do not need such misery.
Better top floor with absorbed roof.
On your huge terrace will pour booluka on the upper floors. Better to have a huge roof terrace, like the former boss of COMPI. You can also make a garden there. And to have an apartment above a restaurant is a pure inquisition.
No, stench, noise and garbage.
They will vomit in your neck, and you will have to vomit on passers-by and customers.
When I read your opinions, I wish I had not been born in UK, but elsewhere. Only pessimists!
This is the worst investment you can make, the apartments on the first floor have only disadvantages, not accidentally they are the cheapest, they are certainly the worst place to live for many reasons that I can list if you are interested, such an apartment is bought if it is busy a place in order to be used as an office or something like that, just as a reference for those who watched the Spanish series "Crazy Neighbors", remember what happened to poor Enrique Pastor!
