Cute apartment, next to old town, with free parking

Cute apartment, next to old town, with free parking Overview

You know what struck me first about Cute apartment, next to old town, with free parking? The name actually undersells it – I mean, yes, it’s cute, but there’s something really satisfying about finding a place that delivers exactly what it promises without any fancy pretense. When I pulled up to 4 Vabriku street in the Põhja-Tallinn district, honestly, the first thing I noticed was how easy the parking situation was (and if you’ve ever tried to park near Tallinn’s Old Town, you’ll know this is basically gold). The building itself has that solid, unpretentious Estonian apartment block vibe – not Instagram-pretty, but there’s something reassuring about places that focus on function over flash.

What really won me over was the location’s sweet spot factor. You’re close enough to Old Town that you can actually walk there without it being a trek – maybe 10-15 minutes depending on your pace – but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds and restaurant touts every time you step outside. The Vabriku area has this lived-in neighborhood feel where you’ll see locals going about their day, and there are some decent little shops and cafes that don’t scream “tourist trap.” I actually found myself grabbing morning coffee from a small place nearby that served proper Estonian pastries alongside the usual suspects. The apartment itself feels genuinely homey – not that sterile hotel cleanliness, but the kind of comfortable where you can spread out your stuff and not worry about messing up some designer aesthetic. The free parking thing isn’t just a nice touch, it’s practically essential if you’re planning to explore beyond Tallinn, and honestly, even getting around the city becomes so much easier when you’re not constantly calculating taxi costs or figuring out public transport schedules.

What I appreciated most was how this place gets the balance right between being tourist-friendly and authentically local. The 8.4 rating makes sense – it’s not trying to be luxury, but it nails the fundamentals really well. You’re getting genuine value here, especially compared to what you’d pay for similar convenience closer to the medieval walls. I mean, sure, it’s not going to wow you with fancy amenities, but after a day of wandering cobblestone streets and climbing church towers, you just want somewhere comfortable to decompress. The whole setup works particularly well if you’re the type who likes to cook occasionally rather than eating out every meal – there’s something nice about being able to grab ingredients from local shops and actually use a proper kitchen. Plus, and this might sound small, but the neighborhood gets genuinely quiet at night, which is harder to find than you’d think when you’re staying somewhere with actual character rather than a generic hotel chain.

Reviews of Cute apartment, next to old town, with free parking

• Very Good – Bounazos from Greece – August 14, 2025 (8/10)

  Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία και πολύ βολικό μέρος στάθμευσης μπροστά στο σπίτι. το σπίτι ήταν χαριτωμένο και άνετο. Ο ιδιοκτήτης εξυπηρετικός μας έδωσε τις κατάλληλες οδηγίες.
  
  What could be improved: Τα σεντόνια ,οι πετσέτες και τα είδη κουζίνας ήταν καθαρά. Ο καναπές όπως και τα χαλακια ήταν πολύ βρώμικα,εκτός από το πατάκι της τουαλέτας που ήταν καθαρό. Επίσης τα είδη προσωπικής περιποίησης ήταν σε άδειες συσκευασίες.

• Wonderful – Yuliya from Lithuania – June 16, 2025 (9/10)

  Nice, cozy, comfortable wilts good location! Great communication, parking near the door. Highly recommended

• Wonderful – Sanna from Finland – April 11, 2025 (9/10)

  Kiva pieni huoneisto, johon oli saatu mahtumaan kaikki tarpeellinen. Sijainti tosi hyvä. Kaikki tarpeellinen oli kävelymatkan päässä. Rauhallinen alue, vaikka talo on aivan kadun laidassa.

• Good location, old wooden house with it's ups and downs. – Markus from Finland – March 24, 2025 (9/10)

  The bed was comfortable and the pillows were really good!
  The apartment was tidy and neat.
  It was mostly quiet (see below).
  It was easy to find and we could park on the front yard.
  The location was superb! Balti Jaam Turg was maybe 4 minutes of walking away, and so was Telliskivi area.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom didn't have a bidee shower (but this is normal in Estonia, not the fault of this apartment).
  Outside noises (loud walkers, random dog barking) were clearly audible inside, so if you are looking for mouse quiet apartment, this isn't it. Otherwise, the noises won't disturb.
  When taking a shower the water stayed long in the stall, draining really slowly. Maybe the drain was clogged?
  The AC shut down occasionally and had to be restarted. Otherwise the apartment would get cold.

• 9inch domino in the apartment was surprisingly good idea. – Viktoryia from Belarus – May 14, 2024 (10/10)

  Cozy scandi-interior and excellent location, near to historical city center, as well as to Noblessner and at the same time the house was surrounded by beautiful old wooden houses. I liked the location even more because of the proximity to Telliskivi Creative city, which was really convenient for grabbing a cup of tasty coffee and fresh pastries in the morning.
  
  What could be improved: At first it was a bit cold in the apartment, but there was also an air conditioner which was really helpful.

• Very Good – Holger from Germany – January 13, 2024 (8/10)
