Cozy apartment near Santariskes

Cozy apartment near Santariskes Overview

I stumbled upon Cozy apartment near Santariskes during one of those last-minute booking situations, and honestly? Sometimes the best finds happen when you’re not even trying. This little gem sits on Maumedžių gatvė in the Verkiai district, which – if you know Vilnius at all – puts you in one of those residential pockets where actual locals live, not just tourists stumbling between the cathedral and Užupis.

The thing about this place is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re essentially staying in someone’s thoughtfully prepared apartment, and I mean that in the best possible way. The space has this lived-in comfort that you just can’t fake – thick curtains that actually block out the morning light, a kitchen stocked with real coffee (not those sad instant packets), and furniture that’s clearly been chosen for comfort over Instagram appeal. When I walked in, there was this subtle scent of wood polish and something floral… maybe from the courtyard below? It immediately felt more like visiting a friend than checking into a hotel. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that lobby theater you get at chain places, just practical communication and genuine helpfulness.

What really sold me on the location was discovering the morning routine. You know how some neighborhoods just have a rhythm? Verkiai does. I’d grab coffee and pastries from the local bakery about a ten-minute walk away, then wander through the residential streets where babushkas tend their garden plots and kids bike to school. It’s maybe a 15-20 minute ride into Old Town if you want the tourist experience, but honestly, staying out here gives you breathing room that central locations don’t offer. The apartment itself faces away from the main street, so nights are properly quiet – no trams rattling by or late-night revelers. I’m a light sleeper, and I actually slept through the night here, which says something. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the shower pressure could be stronger, but that’s pretty typical for older European buildings, and the hot water was consistent. If you’re looking for that boutique hotel experience without the boutique hotel prices – and you want to see how Vilnius actually lives beyond the postcard shots – this spot delivers. Just don’t expect a concierge desk or room service. What you get instead is something more genuine: a comfortable base in a real neighborhood where you can temporarily live like a local.

• Poor – Zigmas from Lithuania – July 20, 2025 (3/10)

  Vieta
  
  What could be improved: Butas nušiuręs ir apleistas. Baldai prasti. Klozetas nevalytas, pastoviai bėgo vanduo.Nėra naktinių užuolaidų.Nebuvo televizoriaus. Savininkė grubi ir nemandagi. Pareiškus pretenzijas dėl trūkumų, savininkė pasipiktino ir pareiškė, kad jei nepatinka butas, galim nešdiintis.

• Осторожно!!! – Тарасенко from Belarus – July 14, 2025 (1/10)

  Ни одного плюса!!!!!! Ужас!!!!
  
  What could be improved: В квартире грязно, присутствие отвратительного запаха, посуда ,полки,холодильник,постельное грязные. Вытирались своими вещами тк полотенца воняют. Заселение было в 00.00., мы с ребёнком, идти не было куда. Еле дожили до утра. Уехали утром сняв другое жилье. Деньги не вернули , оплачивали за 3 ночи. Страшно было дотрагиваться до чего-либо. Информация на сайте не достоверная. Очень жаль ,что букинг не владеет достоверной информацией, в такое нельзя заселяться, полная антисанитария
