Apartment with balcony and castle view by URBAN RENT

Apartment with balcony and castle view by URBAN RENT Overview

First Impressions

The Apartment with balcony and castle view by URBAN RENT sits right in the heart of Žirmūnai, and honestly, the location caught me off guard in the best way possible. This three-star apartment doesn’t try to be something it’s not — it’s straightforward, comfortable, and that castle view from the balcony? Well, it’s exactly what you’d hope for when you’re exploring Vilnius. The building itself feels residential rather than touristy, which I actually appreciated since it gave me a sense of living like a local for a few days.

The Space and That View

The apartment is well-sized without being overwhelming, and you know what really works here? The layout feels natural, not like someone tried to cram too much into a small space. The balcony — and I mean this — is where you’ll probably end up spending your morning coffee time. That castle view isn’t just a marketing line; you can actually see Gediminas Castle Tower rising above the old town, especially nice in the early morning light. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the nearby Maxima and cook something simple, though honestly, with Vilnius’s food scene, you might not use it much.

Location Perks

Žirmūnai might not be the first neighborhood tourists think of, but that’s actually what makes it interesting. You’re close enough to walk into the old town — maybe 15-20 minutes on foot — but far enough away that you’re not dealing with crowds every time you step outside. There’s free parking right on site, which is honestly a huge deal in Vilnius where finding a spot can be a real headache. The Žirmūnai market is just a short walk away, and if you’re into that sort of thing, it’s where locals actually shop for fresh produce and flowers.

Practical Details

URBAN RENT clearly knows what they’re doing when it comes to the basics. The Wi-Fi works reliably (I was working remotely part of the time), and the apartment stays warm even when it’s chilly outside — which, let’s be honest, happens a lot in Lithuania. The bathroom is compact but functional, and there’s enough storage space that you won’t feel like you’re living out of a suitcase. I mean, it’s not fancy, but everything works the way it should, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want after a long day of walking around the city.

Why Guests Love It

Couples seem to really connect with this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little balcony overlooking the castle, especially in the evening when the old town lights start twinkling. The fact that recent guests rated the location so highly (9.7) makes sense once you spend a few days here. You’re positioned perfectly to explore both the historic center and the more authentic residential areas where actual Vilnius residents live and work. It’s that sweet spot between tourist convenience and local authenticity that’s honestly pretty hard to find.
