Soak up real Vilnius life in a bright loft inspired by the city’s creative atmosphere, where centuries-old forests meet one of Europe’s largest baroque old towns and a thriving local arts scene.
My 55 sqm loft in vibrant Antakalnis, Vilnius, is just steps from the iconic Šilas bridge! It is perfect for nature lovers or remote workers wanting a genuine local experience - close to everything but far from the tourist buzz.
* Surrounded by nature: Vilnius is one of Europe’s greenest capitals, with sprawling forests and many beautiful lakes close by—perfect for swimming, picnics, or rowing in the summer. You can easily rent kayaks, SUP boards, and other water sports equipment at several nearby lakes, and the local wakeboarding culture is on the rise with popular cable parks just a short drive from the city.
* Authentic Lithuanian escapes: For longer stays in the warm seasons, I highly recommend experiencing the real Lithuanian lifestyle: rent a cabin by a forest lake, complete with sauna or hot tub outside. For a great day trip, visit the island castle town of Trakai.
* Incredible neighbourhood: Eat-out spots, local bars, cozy coffee shops, and daily essentials all nearby.
* Nature everywhere: Step outside to lush parks and regional forests, or a scenic walking/bike trail (100m away) leading you along the river straight to Gediminas Castle - about 25 mins on foot.
* Not-your-average commute: You can borrow my M size hybrid bike to explore the city, forest, or riverbanks!
* Dedicated work zone: Ergonomic chair, manually adjustable desk, keyboard and a monitor.
* Spacious kitchen: Great for culinary adventures with local market finds just around the corner.
* Soundtrack for your stay: Enjoy your favourite playlists on a quality speaker or unwind with the cozy nostalgia of a vinyl player and a small selection of records.
* In winter, you can enjoy a river view right from your bed. During the other seasons, watch the trees outside change with spring blooms, lush summer greens, and colourful autumn leaves.
* Industrial vibe: Set in a youthful, creative building with a yoga studio and affordable gyms just 250m away.
* Convenient transport: The nearest bus stop is just a 3-minute walk away, and it’s only 3 stops to the city center.
* Air conditioning: Stay comfortable in any weather with efficient AC.
* Pet-friendly exchange: If we feel a good mutual trust, we might arrange to dogsit each other’s dogs during our stay - just let’s chat about it!
