Great apartament in a heart of Tallinn Overview

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places around Tallinn’s Old Town, but Great apartament in a heart of Tallinn actually lives up to its name – and that 9.6 rating isn’t just lucky reviews from people having a good day. The moment you walk up to 2 Vana-Posti, you realize you’ve hit the location jackpot. I mean, you’re literally steps from Town Hall Square, but here’s the thing – you’re tucked away enough that you won’t hear every late-night group of tourists stumbling back from the medieval taverns.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home, not some sterile hotel setup. You know what I noticed right away? The windows are these gorgeous old-style ones that actually open properly (trust me, after a few stuffy hotel rooms, this matters), and you can lean out and basically touch the cobblestones of the Old Town. The kitchen – and this is where three-star places usually disappoint – actually has everything you need. I ended up cooking breakfast there because, honestly, the local markets are so close and the produce is incredible. Plus, there’s something really nice about having your morning coffee while looking out at medieval architecture instead of rushing through some hotel breakfast buffet. The whole place just feels… lived-in, I guess? Like the kind of apartment a local friend might lend you.

What really sold me was how the host seemed to actually know the neighborhood. They left these handwritten notes about which bakery opens earliest (it’s the one on Pikk street, by the way) and warned me that the church bells ring every hour – which, okay, might annoy some people, but I found it pretty charming after the first night. The shower pressure is surprisingly good for an old building, and the bed was comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d been wrestling with medieval torture devices. Parking can be tricky in this area, but they actually provided clear instructions about where to find spots without getting a ticket from the overly enthusiastic parking enforcement folks. During summer, this location means you’re in the thick of everything – street performers, outdoor cafes, the works – but come October or November, you get this magical quiet version of the Old Town where you feel like you have the medieval streets mostly to yourself. The only real downside? You might find yourself extending your stay just because leaving feels like giving up the perfect home base for exploring not just Tallinn, but using it as a jumping-off point for day trips to places like Lahemaa National Park.

  • What a place! – Anette from Finland – July 7, 2025 (10/10)

    The apartment had nice views and walking around Old Town was super easy! We had everything we needed and more. Getting all the information was fast and Galina was really friendly when she showed us the apartment.

    What could be improved: If someone has a hard time walking the stairs, don't stay here. Otherways it was just perfect!

  • Lovely modern apartment in the heart of Tallinn – Stephan from Australia – June 28, 2025 (9/10)

    Modern and spacious apartment with all modern conveniences. Superb location in the old city

    What could be improved: It is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator. Not suitable for the unfit or those with a lot of luggage

  • Very enjoyable and weather was good – Mark from United Kingdom – May 22, 2025 (10/10)

    Very central location in old town, mostly pedestrianised, negligible traffic noise. Plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars and attractions within a few steps.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Great location and communication – Dimitris from United Kingdom – May 16, 2025 (10/10)

    Galina was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The location of the property is fantastic, right in the centre of the old town.

    Lovely central location in old town. Very clean with everything we needed

  • Christmas market visit – Andrew from United Kingdom – December 14, 2024 (9/10)

    excellent communication from the owner who kept in touch as we travelled and met us on arrival, wine and chocolate welcome pack was a nice touch.
    location couldn't have been better for us, central in the old town with the Christmas markets in view
    decent coffee house right below was a plus.
    no faults or issues for us and would recommend 👌
    be aware the accommodation is on the top floor and access is up a really nice spiral staircase, 82 steps might not be for everyone 😉

    What could be improved: nothing worth mentioning, all good for us

  • The perfect apartment in the perfect location – Rachael from United Kingdom – December 10, 2024 (10/10)
