Paupys Golden Apartment Vilnius

Paupys Golden Apartment Vilnius Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Paupys Golden Apartment Vilnius? I was expecting just another generic apartment rental, but this place actually feels like someone’s stylish home that they happen to let travelers crash in. It’s tucked away on Aukštaičių street in the heart of Old Town – and I mean the real Old Town, not some touristy outskirt pretending to be historic.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like a local but still hit all the main sights. You’re literally a five-minute walk from Cathedral Square, but here’s the thing most people don’t realize – you’re also right near some of the best coffee spots that actual Vilnius residents frequent. I stumbled across this tiny café called Caffeine just around the corner that I probably would’ve missed if I’d been staying in some hotel district. The building itself has this beautiful restored facade that fits right into the cobblestone aesthetic, but inside it’s been completely modernized (thank god, because Old Town plumbing can be… an adventure). The apartment I stayed in had these gorgeous high ceilings and original hardwood floors that creaked just enough to feel authentic without being annoying.

What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night, despite being so central. I mean, you’ll hear some weekend revelry from the nearby bars, but it’s more atmospheric than disruptive – kind of reminds you that you’re in this vibrant medieval city center. The host was incredibly responsive too, which matters when you’re navigating a foreign city and need local recommendations. They actually gave me a hand-drawn map with their favorite restaurants marked, including this incredible traditional Lithuanian spot called Lokys that I never would’ve found otherwise. The check-in process was smooth, and they even let me store my bags early since I’d arrived on one of those brutal morning flights. Honestly, with a 9.6 rating, I was skeptical it could live up to the hype, but the attention to detail really shows – everything from the kitchen setup (actually functional for making real meals) to the wifi speed (crucial for those inevitable work calls) was spot-on. If you’re planning to explore Vilnius properly and want a base that feels authentic rather than sterile, this place delivers in ways that surprised me.

Reviews of Paupys Golden Apartment Vilnius

• Exceptional – Giedre from Lithuania – July 29, 2025 (10/10)

  Cozy little home. Feeling that is our home. We find everything necessary, even clothes washing machines is there. Location is perfect if you want to be in fancy region of Vilnius, surrounded by river, walking paths and a lot of cafeterias.

• Stylish, beautifully designed place, everything what you need for your restful vacation. – Daiva from United Kingdom – June 20, 2025 (9/10)

  Nice and comfortable, well equipped apartment.

• Very good! – Jolita from United Kingdom – June 8, 2025 (10/10)

  I liked everything, the apartment is very neat, newly renovated, so small but very good for one person or couple. The bed was comfortable, all the kitchen utensils you need for a stay. Good location near the shops in the old town. I would come back again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Fabulous apartment close to the city centre – a perfect stay. – Stefan from United Kingdom – May 27, 2025 (10/10)

  Very clean and modern apartment – it is small but for 2 people it’s more than enough. Very close to the centre but far out enough to be peaceful. We stay in Vilnius a lot and would normally stay in a 5 star hotel – this was a really welcome change for us and we would definitely stay here again.

• Wonderful stay in a perfect location! – Daniel from Italy – May 26, 2025 (10/10)

  We had a fantastic time at the Paupys Golden Apartment during our private trip to Vilnius! The place is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and fully equipped with everything you might need – from a coffee machine to a washing machine. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and we immediately felt at home. ❤️
  
  The location is absolutely perfect: just a short walk to the Old Town, Užupis, and the river. There are great cafés, restaurants, and shops nearby, yet the apartment is quiet and peaceful at night. Communication with the host was excellent – quick, helpful, and very professional. 🙏
  
  We would definitely stay here again – a true gem in Vilnius!
  
  What could be improved: Not a complaint in any way, just a little idea – adding a couple of chairs on the balcony could make the experience even more delightful. ❤️

• Perfect – Vytautas from Ukraine – May 8, 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect—clean, tasteful, clear, intuitive, convenient, and a super responsive host. What I especially loved was the subtle and balanced home fragrance (in some other rented apartments it's so intense and annoying that I'm considering getting a gas mask).
  
  What could be improved: I saw some previous comments about the nearby construction site, but I didn't see any construction in May 2025.

• Exceptional – Piotr from Poland – May 7, 2025 (10/10)

  Apartment was really nice! Easy check-in (with codes for gates and doors), instructions from host were clear. We really enjoyed kitchen inventory (even simple things like different teas and good coffee made our stay a lot better!). Location of apartment was good, close to city center (maybe 10-15 minutes walk, closer to the Užupis district). The neighbourhood is great for a walk (near a river, beautiful in May), over the river is old cemetery to visit. Shop is nearby (like 5 minute walk). Perfect place for shorter or longer visits in Vilnus 🙂

• Modern and clean flat in fashionable area – Tatjana from Latvia – October 20, 2024 (10/10)

  Location in the gentrified part of the city – Pajupis – in 10 min walk to the bohemian part of Vilnius – Užupis! Definitely, the place is a gem if you like to discover not only city center, but a bit of beyond— this time we found amazing hillside park in 15 minutes walk and two more new restaurants in Užupis as well as our favorite cafe which we didn’t manage to find during our stay in summer 🙂
  P.s. photos from the walk in the hillside next to apartment (15 min proximity)

• Amazing experience – Ugne from Lithuania – October 16, 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was perfect, you will find everything you need. The bed was extremely comfortable. Location is in a city centre, even tho the neighborhood is quiet, new and modern. Highly recommend !

• As a conclusion we strongly recommend this place to stay if you like comfort and cozy light rooms. – Anastasiya from Switzerland – August 31, 2024 (10/10)

  We came around 3 am, very tired and actually didn't expect anything except bed. So we were very surprised about whole tools that provides the host. The flat is new and modern, you can see that person did everything with love and care even if he/she knows that someone could damage/steal/make something dirty. We had everything and even more. Shampoo and conditioner, amazing tasty soap, cozy room, very good kitchen. The location is near famous district Uzupis, not fare away from bus stop, hundreds cafe, also taxi to the airport was very cheap (1,5 euro day, 4 euro night). This is definitely the place to which we will come back.
  
  What could be improved: This was not a problem for us, but maybe for someone else: as the quartier is still building the view from the flat is not very nice. But there is no another option, in a few it will become much better.
  
  I would recommend the host to change the address from 25-12 to 25, because there are few houses with Nr. 25-2 and 25-4, so we were searching for a house 25-12, not the house 25, app.12. But this took us a few minutes to understand.
