What's the address of this guesthouse in Bulgaria?

Isn’t it this one?

The address is ul. “Mitropolit Panaret Rashev” 20 (ул. “Митрополит Панарет Рашев” 20). Here is the pin on the map.

I found it by your description, “walking” in the streets with Google Street View. I was born and raised in Veliko Tarnovo, that’s why I’m almost sure this is the house we are talking about, although I don’t know it personally.

There is a post on the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree about Rosa and her place.

It’s slightly confusing in that it talks about two addresses, a postal one and a “found” one. There’s a slight chance the postal address is for a place where Rosa lives apart from the guest house. The other one seems to have a Polish name rather than Bulgarian and doesn’t seem to match any street name on the maps of the area I can find:

Adress is a bit difficult as the government has changed the street name without changing the street signs. So the postal adress is Mitropolit Panaret Rashev Street (ул. Митрополит Панарет Рашев), basically in the centre of old city, with a great view over this beautiful village. The adress found actually is Stefan Denyew, which is just next to Gurko street.

@mindcorrosive and I were both working on this at the same time and communicating in the chat room giving each other our latest feedback. I’m sure I couldn’t’ve found it without his help but I can’t remember which specific step led to the Google search with the Thorn Tree hit.

And here is an approximate Google Map of the walk from the car park outside the church up to the entrance to Rosa’s.

The address of the church you are talking about is surprisingly hard to find — you can get all sorts of kinda helpful directions, but no street names are involved. From what I could find, the GPS coordinates are:

43.08208, 25.64125

The street is called “ul. Mitropolit Panaret Rashev” (ул. Митрополит Панарет Рашев). Google knows where to find it, although it doesn’t list it on the map.

It’s right accross the “Samovodska Charshiya” (Самоводската чаршия), the main trade street in the old town, where most craft shops are located.

Sadly, I wasn’t able to find anything about Rosa’s guesthouse, despite my efforts. From your description, this looks like a very non-commercial operation — in some small towns which are tourist attraction, there are many people who offer their houses to guests — usually hanging out at bus stations or other notable locations, and asking foreigners if they are looking for a place to stay.

I tried different variations of the name in Bulgarian, but no result whatsoever, sadly. I will update this answer if I manage to find some more details.
