CraftFlat Kalamaja B

CraftFlat Kalamaja B Overview

You know what caught me off guard about CraftFlat Kalamaja B? I was expecting another generic apartment rental, but this place actually has character – and I mean that in the best way possible. Tucked into Tallinn’s Kalamaja district, it sits right in the middle of what locals call the “hipster quarter,” though honestly, that label doesn’t do justice to how genuinely cool this neighborhood feels. The building itself has that perfectly worn-in Baltic vibe, where you can tell it’s been around for decades but someone clearly cares about maintaining it properly.

The flat really surprised me with how thoughtfully it’s set up. I mean, whoever designed this space actually understands what travelers need – there’s proper counter space in the kitchen (not just a tiny corner), the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and the shower has decent water pressure, which… well, if you’ve stayed in enough European apartments, you know that’s not always a given. The windows face toward the quieter side streets, so you’re not dealing with tram noise all night, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. Walking to the Old Town takes maybe 15-20 minutes if you don’t mind the stroll, or you can hop on the tram that runs pretty regularly during the day.

What I really love about staying here is how it drops you right into actual Tallinn life. There’s this fantastic little coffee roastery called Underground literally around the corner – locals queue up there every morning, and their flat whites are honestly better than anything I found in the tourist center. The Balti Jaama Turg market is maybe a five-minute walk, and that’s where you’ll find the best fresh bread and those Estonian pastries that are impossible to pronounce but absolutely worth trying. Plus, you’re walking distance from Noblessner, which has turned into this cool waterfront area with galleries and restaurants that haven’t made it onto most tourist radars yet. The whole setup just feels more authentic than staying in some sterile hotel near the cruise ship crowds – though fair warning, if you’re someone who needs a 24-hour front desk or daily housekeeping, this isn’t that kind of place. But for the price point and that 9.3 rating (which honestly seems about right), you’re getting solid value and a genuine taste of how this city actually works beyond the medieval walls.

• Yebethsys from Mexico – 26 March 2025 (10/10)

  Muy acogedor el espacio, cuenta con todo lo necesario para una estancia agradable.lo recomendaria
  
  What could be improved: Todo estuvo excelente solo recomendaría mejorar la ubicación para entrar al apartamento por primera vez , es un poco confusa y los manuales para uso de lavadora y calefacción que no corresponde con lo que envian.

• Danièle from Belgium – 26 December 2024 (8/10)

  Moderne, confortable, bien équipé. Très pratique avec les codes d'accès de ne pas dépendre de clés quand on est 2 personnes à y loger.
  
  What could be improved: L'accès par un couloir cave. Un peu exigu.

• Tyler from United States – 26 July 2024 (10/10)

  Terrific apartment with all the amenities you need. You don’t even feel like you’re in the basement. I appreciated the coffee and snacks provided!
  
  What could be improved: I would suggest for the owner to provide a fan as it can get a little hot, especially at night. As other comments have mentioned, the entrance is a little damp but it doesn’t impact the apartment itself.

• Szabolcs from Hungary – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

  Nagyon jól felszerelt, gyönyörű lakás. Barátságos környék, relatíve közel volt a városközpont is. Két megállónyira (kb 12 perc sétányira) van egy bolt is, illetve 6 perc sétára a Pöhjalla főzde is, akiknél remek söröket, és ételeket lehet fogyasztani.
  
  What could be improved: A szoba a pinceszinten van, kicsi ablakokkal, így picit hűvösebb, és párásabb van, de van padlófűtés, és páraelszívó is, így ez sem akkora gond. A busz 15-20 percenként jár csak, ami picit megnehezíti a városba jutást.
