OUR LOVE NEST IN TALLINN

Sauna with hugh whirlpool tub.

The martini bar is open

Many a fine meal from this fully equipped kitchen

Our spacious living room. Stairs lead to lower level.

For six years Elysee and I have put into practice our adopted retired lifestyle: "The World Is Our Second Home." (See my profile for more information on that.) We have ranged from Slovenia, to Carmel, California, to Australia/New Zealand. Our Estonian "Love Nest" fit right in. Within days of arriving we had adjusted the furniture, put our personal photos in place, bought fresh flowers, set up our cocktail bar, established separate places for each of us to work, and enjoyed our traditional first meal, schnitzel, with a fine local wine.

I had begun searching for a place in Tallinn the previous fall, was helped greatly by a local agent, EREL INTERNATIONAL, did my customary due diligence before signing the lease, and passed the moment of truth when the key is first turned in the door. After all, we would be there for 100 days.

The location was ideal. On the very edge of Old Town. The apartment was big by European standards, 1200 sq. ft. on two levels, coming equipped with a sauna and a Turkish bath. WOW.

Contact me if you would like more information on how I rent a place for an entire summer each year, or simply for advice about staying in Tallinn.
