Old Town – Oleviste Apartment Overview

I honestly didn’t expect much when I first walked into Old Town – Oleviste Apartment – I mean, you know how apartment rentals can be hit or miss, right? But this place actually surprised me in the best way possible. The moment you step inside, there’s this perfect balance between feeling like you’re staying somewhere authentically Estonian but with all the modern touches that actually matter. The apartment sits right in the heart of Tallinn’s medieval old town, and I’m talking proper cobblestone-street, UNESCO World Heritage territory here. You can literally hear the church bells from St. Olaf’s Church (that’s the Oleviste part of the name, by the way) throughout the day, which sounds romantic but honestly isn’t annoying at all – more like a gentle reminder that you’re somewhere pretty special.

What really got me was how the owners seemed to understand what travelers actually need. The kitchen isn’t just for show – it’s got proper cookware, a decent-sized fridge, and even some local coffee to get you started. The bathroom has one of those rainfall showers that actually works (you’d be surprised how often they don’t), and there’s plenty of hot water even if your travel buddy takes forever getting ready. The Wi-Fi is solid too, which matters if you’re trying to upload photos or work remotely. I stayed during shoulder season in October, and the heating worked perfectly – those old town buildings can get chilly, but this place stayed cozy without being stuffy. The windows are well-insulated too, so while you’re right in the thick of things during the day, it gets surprisingly quiet at night once the tour groups head back to their hotels.

Here’s what I really appreciated though – the location gives you that authentic old town experience without the tourist trap feeling. You’re a two-minute walk from some incredible little cafes that locals actually frequent, and about five minutes from the main square when you want to do the whole medieval Tallinn thing. Parking can be tricky in this area (honestly, just use public transport or walk), but the trade-off is worth it because you’re staying somewhere that feels genuinely connected to the city’s history. The 4-star rating feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it’s thoughtfully done with real attention to detail. That 8.8 rating from other guests makes total sense to me because this is the kind of place that just works well for travelers who want something more personal than a hotel chain but with better amenities than your average apartment rental.
