Modern central flat in a green courtyard

Modern central flat in a green courtyard Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Modern central flat in a green courtyard? The name actually undersells the place – I was expecting some basic apartment rental, but this spot on Jakobsoni tänav really delivers on that “green courtyard” promise. The moment you step through the entrance, there’s this surprisingly peaceful garden space that feels worlds away from the bustling Tallinn city center just outside.

I mean, the location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with constant street noise. Jakobsoni runs parallel to some of the main tourist drags, so you’re literally a three-minute walk from Town Hall Square and all those medieval cobblestone streets everyone comes to see, but you can actually get some sleep at night. The flat itself has that clean, minimalist vibe that works really well – nothing fancy, but everything you need is there and it’s clearly been thought through by someone who actually travels. The kitchen setup is better than most hotels I’ve stayed in, which matters if you’re doing more than just a quick weekend trip.

What really sold me on this place though is how it sits in the neighborhood. You’ve got that little Rimi grocery store basically around the corner on Lai street, and honestly, being able to grab Estonian dark bread and local cheese for breakfast instead of paying hotel prices was clutch. Plus – and this is something you only figure out after walking around a bit – the courtyard connects to this network of quiet residential streets that locals actually use as shortcuts. I found myself taking these little detours through areas that felt completely removed from the tourist crowds, even though I was staying right in the center. The whole area has this lived-in quality that a lot of Old Town accommodations just don’t have because they’re so focused on the medieval tourism angle.

The 9.5 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there a few days. It’s not trying to be luxury – it’s just executing the basics really, really well. The WiFi actually works (shocking, I know), the shower has decent pressure, and the bed is comfortable enough that I wasn’t thinking about it, which is honestly the best compliment I can give hotel bedding. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend coordinating your arrival time since it’s not a traditional hotel setup. One small thing – the courtyard can get a bit echo-y if people are having conversations out there, but it’s usually pretty quiet after 10 PM anyway. Honestly, for the price point and location, this place hits that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Tallinn rather than just visiting it.

• Мой честный отзыв – Eldar from Latvia – August 3, 2025 (5/10)

  What could be improved: Буду честен Так как сам всегда читаю отзывы перед тем как выбрать апартаменты или гостиницу. В целом всё неплохо. Чисто Но есть нюансы . Во первых ключ даётся толькт один , то есть перемещатся проживающие персоны должны вместе. Квартиры не обозначены номерами, когда вы приезжаете начинается квест ,, найди свою квартиру,, . Самое неприяное это отсутствие горячей воды. На сообщение хозяину о данной проблеме было предложено открыть кран:)
  Через сутки после ещё одного запроса о проблеме Вода появилась ,Но ночью пропала. С утра опять появилась . Ещё один минус это зимнее толстое обеяло в жаркое лето. В квартире очень жарко
  Маленький туалет Негде разместить пренадлежности .На втором же этаже туалет просторный . И очень не удобная кухня Очень маленькие ручки для открытия кухни ,что на столько не удобно ,что становится проблемой в использовании и приготовлении пищи

• Confort, calme et déco au top ! – Anna from France – July 15, 2025 (10/10)

  Nous avons passé un séjour absolument merveilleux dans cet appartement. Honnêtement, il est difficile d’imaginer un endroit plus confortable. C’est rare de se retrouver quelque part et de se dire qu’on y est aussi bien que chez soi !
  
  Tout est refait à neuf, décoré avec beaucoup de goût et aménagé avec soin jusque dans les moindres détails. La literie est très confortable. Il y a de nombreux rangements, aussi bien dans les chambres que dans la cuisine, et tout le nécessaire est prévu pour le séjour, même la lessive, ce qui est très pratique.
  
  L’emplacement est parfait : calme, verdoyant, sécurisé, tout en étant proche du centre-ville. Nous avons également beaucoup profité de la petite terrasse.
  
  Un grand merci à Henri, toujours disponible et très réactif à la moindre question.
  
  Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

  Very good location – close to Tallinn city center, yet very quiet area! Nice, modern and clean apartment, there was everything we were waiting for! Henri is a very good and caring host!
  
  What could be improved: Just a small advice – larger pillows and a TV would make it even better! 😉
