Konstantinos from Greece – 23 July 2022 (8/10)
Both the location and the apartment itself were pretty good! I would stay again for sure!
What could be improved: Not enough towels, bed sheets and blankets for three people and the host didn't reply on whatsapp.Anne-sylvie from France – 25 June 2022 (9/10)
My apparemment was cosy, with large windows and full of light, quite silent but for the shrieking gulls, which I love. The location was ideal–in the heart of the Old town, in front of a quiet church. I was extremely glad to be able to discover the wonderful Tallinn from such a pleasant and convenient abode.
Yohan from France – 17 February 2025 (8/10)
Very good stay near the city center.
Laura from Latvia – 4 June 2024 (9/10)
The location was perfect and close to everything we wanted to see while in Tallinn. The apartment itself was clean, bright, unique, with lots of amenities and exactly as described in the listing.
What could be improved: The stairs were a bit difficult to navigate, next time we’d definitely request to stay on the first or second floor. Additionally, the owners forgot to give us the Wi-Fi password, but since we only stayed for a night, it wasn't a big inconvenience.Liis from Estonia – 18 February 2024 (7/10)
Comfortable place with warm vibes. Good location.
What could be improved: Property owner did not reply to messages concerning (missing) apartment number and earlier check-in time within reasonable time (24h).
