Puhas 2 toaline Kakumäe korter

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Puhas 2 toaline Kakumäe korter in Tallinn’s Haabersti district, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from the unassuming residential building. But you know what they say about judging books by their covers. This three-star apartment turned out to be one of those hidden gems that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special. The fact that it consistently earns a 9.5 rating from guests isn’t just a fluke — there’s something genuinely thoughtful about how this place operates.

Location & Neighborhood

Kakumäe is actually one of Tallinn’s best-kept secrets, especially if you want to experience the city like a local rather than just another tourist. You’re about 15 minutes from the Old Town by car, but honestly, the peaceful residential vibe here is worth the short journey. I mean, couples are rating the location 9.2 out of 10 for good reason — there’s something romantic about staying in a real Estonian neighborhood where you can walk to the nearby Kakumäe Beach (yes, Tallinn has beaches!) and watch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. The free private parking on site is a massive bonus too, which anyone who’s tried to park in European city centers will appreciate.

The Apartment Experience

The two-room setup gives you actual space to breathe, which is refreshing after staying in cramped hotel rooms. Everything feels genuinely clean — and I don’t just mean surface-level tidy, but properly maintained and cared for. The kitchen area lets you grab groceries from the local Estonian shops and actually cook something if you want, though there are some solid neighborhood restaurants within walking distance. What struck me most was how the place manages to feel both homey and professionally managed at the same time, which isn’t easy to pull off.

Local Insights

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before my first visit to this area — the nearby Stroomi Beach is absolutely gorgeous during summer months, and even in cooler weather, it’s perfect for those contemplative Baltic walks that somehow clear your head completely. The local Selver supermarket is about a 5-minute drive away, and there’s a decent bus connection into central Tallinn if you prefer public transport. Actually, staying out here gives you a completely different perspective on Estonian life beyond the tourist bubble of the Old Town.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.5 rating isn’t accidental — it’s the result of getting the fundamentals absolutely right. The combination of space, cleanliness, and that residential location creates something that feels more authentic than your typical city center hotel experience. Couples especially seem to appreciate the privacy and the chance to explore a side of Tallinn that most visitors never see. Plus, having your own parking spot and the freedom to come and go as you please makes the whole stay feel less structured and more like you’re actually living in the city for a few days rather than just passing through.

Best hotels in Tallinn range from charming boutique properties in the medieval Old Town to elegant modern hotels with stunning views of Tallinn Bay and ancient city walls.
