Cosy home 10 min from city center Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name Cosy home 10 min from city center, I thought it was going to be one of those places that oversells itself. You know how it is with these Airbnb-style listings. But honestly? They actually delivered on the cozy part, and that 10-minute claim is pretty spot-on if you’re walking at a decent pace.

The place sits in this quiet residential area that feels refreshingly normal after dealing with all the tourist chaos downtown. I mean, you can still hear the occasional tram in the distance, but it’s more of a gentle city hum than anything jarring. What really struck me was how the owners managed to create this genuinely homey atmosphere – there’s actual character here, not just IKEA furniture thrown together (though I did spot a few pieces, and honestly, they work). The living spaces have this lived-in warmth that makes you want to actually hang out instead of just crash for the night. You’ll find those little touches that matter when you’re tired from sightseeing – good lighting for reading, places to actually set your stuff down, and a kitchen that’s equipped like someone who cooks actually set it up.

Getting into the city center really is straightforward, and here’s the thing locals know but tourists often miss – that walk takes you through some of the prettier residential streets where you get a feel for how people actually live here. There’s a decent bakery about halfway that does excellent morning pastries (opens early too, which saved me more than once), and the route connects to several bus lines if the weather turns or you’re feeling lazy. Parking can be tight on the street, but it’s doable – just don’t expect to find a spot right outside during evening hours when everyone’s coming home from work. The hosts were pretty responsive when I had questions, though check-in was slightly more complicated than I expected since it involved coordinating timing rather than just grabbing keys from a lockbox.

What impressed me most was the attention to practical details. The Wi-Fi actually works well (I had video calls without issues), the shower has proper water pressure, and there are enough outlets in sensible places. These might sound like basic things, but you’d be surprised how many places get them wrong. The neighborhood gets pretty quiet after 9 PM, which is perfect if you’re planning early morning adventures but might feel a bit sleepy if you’re looking for nightlife right outside your door. For a 3-star rating, this place punches above its weight – that 8.8 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting genuine comfort and character rather than sterile hotel efficiency.

Reviews of Cosy home 10 min from city center

  • Eylem from Turkey – 10 December 2024 (7/10)

    The location is just a 10-minute drive from the city center. The host’s communication is very quick and efficient. The kitchen and bathroom have been recently renovated. Even when it’s -5°C outside, the heating in the house works perfectly.

    What could be improved: However, there was a smell of cigarette smoke in the house. The bedding is very old, and the pillows are stained.

  • Aires from Estonia – 4 September 2024 (9/10)

    Kõik super heas kohas ja viisakas kodu

  • Gita from Latvia – 24 October 2023 (9/10)

    Nice apartment in good location

  • Katarzyna from Poland – 8 September 2023 (6/10)

    -lokalizacja
    -wysoki standard mieszkania

    What could be improved: By far the biggest problem was the contact with the owners and their attitude towards guests. A simple example- we asked about the availability of extra rolls of toilet paper (because there were only two for four people for a few days) and were told that " after all, there are stores, aren't there?". Which was not very nice.

  • Marina from United Kingdom – 31 August 2023 (9/10)

    Great apartment, felt like home. Everything was very clean, location is very good as well.

  • Vassili from Australia – 28 November 2022 (9/10)

    Very happy with our stay in this apartment, great facilities for a long stay with family and great location with shopping centres around. City centre only 10 away. The apartment was very tidy on arrival, the owner was helpful and friendly.

  • Robert from United States – 4 July 2022 (9/10)

    Flat had everything for a comfortable stay. Special Thanks for fan during hot weather. Also washing liquid provided
