Reviews

• Kaye from United States – 26 November 2024 (7/10)

  Rooms were comfortable, location was fantastic and the shower pressure was amazing.
  
  What could be improved: Instructions about getting in and leaving could be better. Map of the facility showing where the door to the backyard is for trash, showing where the light switches are in case you come in after dark, etc.

• Anna from United Kingdom – 3 January 2025 (9/10)

  Really easy reach in the Old Town but very close to the major public transport routes in Tallinn new town. The flat is versatile for two couples, a family of five or two small families. It feels historic, has character and lots of space. Plenty of heating if you want it, and a great bathroom with underfloor heating. Big enough dining table is in the kitchen separate from the living room, which was really handy. Our young people loved the deep window sills to sit in.
  The office is open all day and until late and the service is really friendly and you get an immediate response on the phone. It's only a short walk away and they arranged a second set of keys for us without a problem.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately the bars downstairs are a source of noise until late but I knew to expect it, and even as a fairly light sleeper it didn't prevent me from sleeping very well in the front bedroom because I was really tired when I went to bed myself.

• Arturs from Latvia – 24 June 2024 (8/10)

  very beautiful apartment and very close to the main attractions of the city
  
  What could be improved: Toilet room bit small

• Reelika from Australia – 6 July 2023 (8/10)

  Nice apartment. Good location
  
  What could be improved: Dust under the beds and shower drain gets blocked up

• Rachel from United States – 20 October 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent stay in a unique building! Our family of 5 stayed 10 nights in Tallinn and loved the neighborhood and building. Kitchen was well stocked, internet is reliable, the layout is spacious, the interior bedroom is super quiet, and the location is superb! We would definitely return.
  
  What could be improved: The bar noise on Friday and Saturday nights is disruptive until 5:00am in the morning (or later). The interior bedroom is unaffected, but the streetside bedroom with loft is quite noisy. The kids didn't seem to mind.

• Lindfors from Finland – 8 April 2024 (8/10)

  Location

• Niko from Finland – 6 November 2022 (8/10)

  nice and comfortable with excellent location

• Britt from United Kingdom – 28 July 2024 (4/10)

  Good location in the Old Town
  
  What could be improved: Take ear plugs!! Nightclub / strip bar opposite the apartment open until 4:30am!! Bar underneath the property played music until 3:00am. The quality of sleep on both Weds and Fridays night was so bad we had to reschedule our plans for the next day.

• Heini from Finland – 23 October 2022 (5/10)

  The appartment was in the very center of Old town but it was on a street with very noisy bars so we didn't sleep very well. The appartment had all we needed and warm water from the shower.
  
  What could be improved: The building was in very bad shape and parts of the appartment needs some repairing too. The toilet was too small. The lighting in the appartment was too dark in the living room and in the other bedroom. The kids bed was too high up so that was a bit intimitading to sleep in.

• Alessandro from Italy – 26 July 2024 (8/10)

  Bellissimi arredi e tanto spazio
  
  What could be improved: L'acqua è imbevibile. Il bagno ha un cattivo odore (vecchie tubazioni) e, facendo la doccia, abbiamo allagato l'appartamento sotto
