Rooms and flats in Plovdiv, straight from the owners
Tabelko (табелко) is a free notice board for renting in Plovdiv. No agencies, no commission, no fee to post. The site is in Bulgarian, but you can use it in English.

Browse the board
An обява (listing) is posted by the owner or the person who lives there. Agencies are not allowed. Prices are in euro per month, and each one shows the neighbourhood.
2
Post what you are looking for
Choose Търся (I'm looking), say what you need, your budget and when you move. Owners with a matching place write to you. You can write it in English.

Message through the site
Press Пиши (Write) on a listing. Your phone number stays hidden unless you choose to share it. Owners don't pay to post either, so nobody adds a commission.
View first, pay later
A common scam in Plovdiv is a fake listing and a request to send a deposit (капаро) by bank transfer or EasyPay "to hold the flat for you". Never pay anything before you have seen the place and met the owner in person. If someone pushes for money first, report the listing.
