Poe Luxury

We likes the location, high ceilings and apartment overall.

There was nothing to dislike.

An absolutely outstanding stay in one of the best locations in Tartu — and without exaggeration, probably the best view in town! Waking up to that panorama alone was worth the stay. The flat is stylish, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, perfectly placed in the very heart of the city yet wonderfully peaceful. Everything is within walking distance. Smooth self check-in, fast Wi-Fi, and excellent communication with the host. Truly a top-tier apartment — we wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else next time. Highly, highly recommended!

Incredible location. Beautiful apartment.

Nothing

I liked two things - the proximity to all the attractions and the comfortable main bed.

I must admit that I have a problem with Booking itself, which groups photos of different apartments/rooms rented by the same host. Through my inattention, I chose the room that turned out to be the smallest one on offer and it is not a room where 4 people can comfortably stay. The host is fond of the word luxury, but this place had little to do with luxury, as a few new things from Ikea do not make a place luxurious. There was a lack of a place to prepare a meal (tiny kitchen worktop), there was a lack of a sharp knife, there was a lack of a dish dryer, there was a lack of a clothes dryer (the washing machine was therefore useless), there was a lack of a radiator to hang wet towels in the bathroom. The washbasin in the bathroom is microscopic (this is the model you use in small WCs). This makes it hard to wash your face in it, or shave dry without leaving your hair on the floor. When we entered the room for the first time, we were greeted by a not very pleasant stuffiness (I recommend ventilating the room and leaving the windows open). Unfortunately, the room has windows on one side, which makes air circulation difficult, especially when you close the windows at night to reduce the noise. And it can be quite noisy at night... During our stay the music from a nearby club was perfectly audible until 3 AM. The last unpleasant thing was the towels, which started to smell bad after the first wipe down. This is probably due to improper drying (and possible low temperature washing). Perhaps not unpleasant but certainly strange was the host's behaviour regarding free parking. In theory the room was supposed to have a free parking space in the courtyard. The host first directed us to this space and then informed us that it would be better if we parked in the street, as this space belonged to a neighbour. It's a good thing that parking on the street is free at weekends, which is as advertised. Luxury.
