City center, studio, 514 Overview

You know what caught me off guard about City center, studio, 514? The moment I stepped inside, it felt way more spacious than I expected from a studio setup. I mean, when you’re booking a place on Šaltinių gatvė in Naujamiestis, you’re not exactly expecting luxury – but this little gem surprised me in the best way possible.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Vilnius rather than just visiting. Šaltinių street has this quiet residential vibe that locals love, but you’re literally a ten-minute walk from Cathedral Square. I’d grab my morning coffee from the little café around the corner (the barista there makes incredible flat whites, by the way) and wander through the cobblestone streets without dealing with tourist crowds until I actually wanted to. The studio itself is cleverly designed – whoever set this up actually thought about how people live, not just where they sleep. There’s proper counter space in the kitchenette, decent water pressure in the shower, and the bed doesn’t dominate the entire room like some studios do.

What I really appreciated were the small details that show someone cares about this place. The windows are properly insulated, so you don’t get that drafty feeling that’s common in older Vilnius buildings, and there’s actually enough storage space for a week’s worth of clothes without living out of your suitcase. The wifi worked flawlessly – crucial when you’re trying to upload photos of the gorgeous Old Town views. Speaking of views, while you’re not overlooking the Gediminas Tower or anything dramatic like that, the street view has this authentic neighborhood charm that grew on me. I’d sit by the window in the evenings watching locals walk their dogs and elderly neighbors chatting on benches. It felt real, you know? The area gets pretty quiet after 9 PM, which was perfect for sleeping, though you’ll hear some tram sounds during the day – nothing disruptive, just city life happening around you.

Honestly, the 10 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point. It’s not trying to be something it’s not – this is a well-executed, comfortable studio in a neighborhood that gives you genuine Vilnius vibes without the tourist markup. Check-in was smooth (the host responded quickly to messages), and I never felt like I was missing amenities I actually needed. If you’re the type who wants to explore beyond the main tourist areas but still be close enough to walk to everything important, this spot hits that sweet spot perfectly.
