  The living space is magnificent, just like the pictures. It really transports you back in time! The bathroom is also really nice, heated floors, big bath, sauna and luxurious shower. I'm also a light sleeper and was pleased how quiet the place is.

• Big apartment, central location – Mamacher from United Kingdom (9/10)

  We stayed at the superior apartment with sauna. Central location inside the Old Town. We took an Uber from Tallinn port and got off right in front of the apartment building (it's in front of St Olav's Hotel). It's located just a few blocks away from the Old Town square. There is a 24-hour convenience store a block away. There is a wonderful restaurant (Margherita) on the same block. Quiet location: there was only one other property in this apartment (a foundation that did not seem to be occupied).
  
  Owner sent instructions via email, including on how to get the key (from a lock box) and house rules and even included pictures of the property from the street, the lock box and the trash bins outside the building.
  
  The apartment is very big, with a lot of space. Upon entering the property from the street, you have to go up a flight of stairs and then upon reaching the property itself, you have to go up another flight of stairs (this would be a problem for those with mobility issues; there is no lift). In the living area, there is one single bed and a sofa that can be used for sleeping. On the same floor, there is a bedroom with three beds (one single, one double), and a separate shower and toilet; there is a sauna. On the upper floor (loft) there are three beds (one single, one double) and a narrow sofa bed, and another toilet with bath/shower.
