Large and cozy 2-level apartment

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Large and cozy 2-level apartment on Faehlmanni street, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the most straightforward names tell you exactly what you’re getting. This four-star property sits right in the thick of Tallinn‘s Old Town area, and I mean really right in the heart of things — you can practically feel the medieval cobblestones calling from just outside your door.

The Space Itself

The apartment spreads across two levels, which immediately gives it this homey feel that regular hotel rooms just can’t match. Downstairs, you’ve got your main living area with a proper kitchen setup — not just some tiny kitchenette, but actual counter space where you can spread out if you want to grab groceries from the local markets. The upstairs loft area creates this nice separation between sleeping and living spaces, something couples really seem to appreciate based on what I’ve observed. There’s enough room to actually unpack and settle in, rather than living out of a suitcase for your entire stay.

Location Perks

Here’s where this place really shines — the location score of 9.1 isn’t just marketing fluff. You’re literally steps away from Tallinn’s main attractions, but tucked onto a quieter side street that doesn’t get the constant tourist foot traffic. I could walk to Town Hall Square in about three minutes, hit up the viewing platforms on Toompea Hill without breaking a sweat, and still duck back for a quick coffee break whenever I wanted. The fact that there’s free parking on site is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — finding parking in this part of Tallinn can be a real headache otherwise.

Daily Life Here

What I really appreciated was how this setup lets you live a bit more like a local rather than just passing through. There’s a small grocery store literally around the corner, and having that kitchen means you can grab some Estonian black bread and local cheese for breakfast instead of hunting down a restaurant every single morning. The two-level layout also means if you’re traveling with someone, you’re not constantly on top of each other — one person can be reading downstairs while the other takes calls upstairs.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.2 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s that sweet spot where you get the independence and space of having your own place, but with the reliability and service standards of a proper accommodation. Couples especially seem drawn to it, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little Estonian hideaway in the medieval quarter. The combination of being centrally located but still feeling like you have a proper home base makes it work for both quick city breaks and longer stays where you want to really explore Tallinn at your own pace.
