Overall, it was a pleasant stay in Pärnu. The apartment isn’t very close to the main beach, but that wasn’t a problem for me, as I was in town for a sporting event and the venue I needed was nearby. If you’re traveling with kids, the Pernovo Nature House is right next to the building and definitely worth a visit. The apartment has a washing machine, which was essential for me since I needed to clean my sportswear. Although the weather was quite hot, the apartment stayed reasonably cool — there was a fan in the room, but I didn’t end up needing it. My family joined me for the last night, and we all fit comfortably in the apartment.

One downside was that I had to pick up and return the key at a different address, which was over 30 minutes away on foot. This should really be mentioned clearly when booking the apartment. There was also no Wi-Fi. While it wasn’t explicitly listed, I expected it to be available. When I arrived in Pärnu, I found out that the host wasn’t in town, which meant there was no local support for resolving day-to-day issues. For example, the bathroom light stopped working during my stay. The shower could also use some attention, as it doesn’t stay in the higher position and keeps sliding down. Overall, I felt the apartment needed more care — it was rather dusty and showed signs of wear.
