Delta Apartments manage a number of apartments in Tallinn. The apartment that we stay in is Apartment 3, 4 Lai Street – one of the Old Town Family Apartments. It is a well-located, very spacious 2-bedroom apartment, opposite the NUKU Theatre building (puppet theatre) in the Old Town.
Elegant Apartment, Riga is a case of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. While the building is old and a little run down, this large 3-bedroom apartment has been recently renovated and is spacious, clean, fresh and comfortable – and excellent value for money.
We arrive at the apartment by taxi from the train station, and are met by the friendly owners who help us carry our luggage up the stairs. The apartment is on the 3rd floor and unfortunately there is no lift.
Entering the apartment, there is a short hallway, off which there are three large bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet and the kitchen. The apartment has plenty of natural light and Latvian charm.
Rentida Apartments in Old Town, Vilnius, has a number of apartments on offer. We collect the key from Anna at the office of Rentida Apartments, who takes us to our accommodation, a short walk away. However we don’t have an apartment – we have a 2-storey house!
We enter the foyer area where there are hooks for our coats, a small bench containing four pairs of indoor slippers (individually packed). There is a living/dining/kitchen area off the foyer and a small bathroom, and a timber staircase to the upper level where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The house has central heating throughout (switched off during our stay as we don’t need it). The house is warm without the central heating at this time of year.
Kazzperia BestSpot Apartment is an excellent two-bedroom apartment – clean, modern and very well located – within walking distance of Warsaw’s New and Old Towns.
The owner of the apartment meets us at the property – it is on Floor 6½! We take the lift to level 7 and walk down a few steps to level 6½.
On entering the apartment there is a small entry hall with a cupboard space with hangers for coats, boots, etc, and a stool to sit on to remove our shoes.
From the entry hall we walk into the living/dining/kitchen area and then into a hallway off which there are two bedrooms plus a bathroom and separate toilet. The apartment is filled with natural light.
Apartment Grabowskiego is a 2-bedroom, ground floor apartment in an excellent location just seven minutes walk to Krakow’s Old Town Square.
Our host met us at the apartment, gave us the key and a map of Krakow. It was very helpful to have a quick orientation of the Old Town, nearby supermarkets, corner stores and places to eat.
The apartment seems more like a house with its high ceilings, large rooms and beautiful timber flooring throughout.
The Mercure Hotel Berlin City is an excellent 4-star hotel and an ideal place to stay when visiting Berlin.
Standard King Room
We have a Standard King Room – Room 315 on the third floor. It is a good sized room with bathroom immediately on our right as we enter.
The design of the room and features are excellent. There is a small hanging space and shelf near the bathroom, a full length mirror, pull down luggage rack, air conditioning that can be controlled in our room, a couple of hooks as we come in the door, light switches for main light and lamps near our bed, a little shelf under the bedside ‘table’.
Perfect Days Charles Bridge Apartment has an excellent location – in Prague’s Old Town, moments walk to Charles Bridge.
In May Prague is very busy with tourists but when we walk through the beautiful wooden door at the front of our building into an inner courtyard – we are in a peaceful sanctuary.
The entrance to the apartment itself is via a doorway off the inner courtyard. At the top of reasonably steep steps we enter a lovely large open space that includes the kitchen/dining area, with living room, bedrooms, bathroom and laundry opening off this space.
There are a number of large windows giving lots of natural light and fresh air. The windows open onto the central courtyard.
We stayed at The Central Park Hotel Songdo in Seoul as an STPC (stopover paid by carrier) flying Korean Airlines from Sydney to Prague.
The hotel was located about a 30-minute drive from Incheon Airport and we travelled to the hotel by bus, courtesy of Korean Airlines. On arrival we had a quick and easy check in at Reception.
The Central Park Hotel Songdo is a newish hotel – built in 2014. Our room was on the 9th floor – Room 918 – a very spacious room with two beds – one large bed and one a little smaller. They looked like a King Size bed and a Double bed size.
The room felt quite luxurious with furniture that was quite ornate and decorated in gold tones.
The following is a summary of a trip to see the Fall colours between New York City and Stowe, then returning to New York City via Boston, Plymouth, Martha’s Vineyard, Newport (Rhode Island) and the Hamptons. We recommend a much slower pace to take in all there is to see – and perhaps leave out Bridport and Montreal to concentrate on New England.
Our overnight stops were NYC at the beginning of the trip then Hancock, Stowe, Bridport, Montreal, North Conway, Boston, Edgartown, Newport, Montauk and NYC at the end of the trip.

We chose to stay at the Cambria Hotel Chelsea based on price and location. We were not disappointed and can highly recommend a stay at the Cambria.
The Cambria is a new hotel (built in 2015) and is fresh, clean and modern. Our room was a Deluxe King Guestroom – 1302 on the 13th floor, at the back of the building away from the street, so nice and quiet.
