1 bd Old Town apartment – 2 min from Dome Church Overview

1 bd Old Town apartment – 2 min from Dome Church is tucked away on Mazā Muzeju Iela, a narrow cobblestone lane that feels like a secret passage into the heart of Riga. I first spotted it while wandering past the old town square, the building’s pastel façade a splash of color against the gray stone. The check‑in was surprisingly smooth; the host, a friendly local named Jānis, greeted me with a warm smile and handed over keys like a family member. He even left a note with a map of the best cafés in the area, which I’ve already bookmarked. Parking isn’t a huge deal if you’re willing to walk a few blocks; there’s a small parking garage two streets over, but you’ll probably do fine with the free street parking spots that pop up during the quieter winter months. The apartment itself feels like a well‑coordinated blend of comfort and character. The living space is cozy, with soft, warm lighting that makes the room feel like a small sanctuary after a day of exploring.

When you step inside, the first thing that hits you is the scent of fresh coffee—Jānis’s espresso machine is a top‑notch piece, and the aroma wafts just from the kitchen. The walls are painted in muted tones that complement the antique wooden floor, and there’s a subtle, almost nostalgic, hint of old paper from the vintage books on the shelves. The bed is a cloud of memory foam, and the linens feel like a gentle hug. I’ve been told the noise level is surprisingly low for a place this central; the street’s traffic is muffled by the thick walls, so you’re rarely disturbed by the hum of the city. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, with a rain shower that feels like a mini spa session. The kitchenette is pretty well equipped for a solo traveler—there’s a full-size fridge, a microwave, a kettle, and a decent set of cookware, which is a huge plus if you want to whip up a quick meal or a comforting stew.

The best part? The location, but I won’t say “convenient” because that’s too generic. If you’re looking to soak in the local vibe, you’re in the middle of it. From the apartment, you can stroll to the Old Town’s famous nightlife, the quaint cafés on Pārdaugava, and the bustling market on Biezumala Street—all within a 10‑minute walk. I love the way the street music from the nearby jazz bar sometimes spills into the balcony—makes the whole place feel alive. The apartment opens up to a small balcony that’s perfect for sipping a glass of Riga’s famous Riga Black Balsam while watching the sunrise over the Daugava River. And let me tell you, the city really comes alive during the summer festival season; the noise levels spike a little, but the energy is contagious, and the apartment’s windows are thick enough that you can still hear the distant laughter without it being a disturbance. Overall, it’s a charming spot that feels like a home base, not a hotel, and that’s exactly what I needed for my stay in Riga.

Reviews of 1 bd Old Town apartment – 2 min from Dome Church

• Nice location, unfortunate communication – Julia from Switzerland – 19 August 2024 (6/10)

  Very centrally located, clean and a nice mix of old and modern
  
  What could be improved: The communication was really unfortunate. I was arriving after midnight on a Friday. What I did not know that it was a Riga city day where all the roads leading to the flat were blocked. It took the taxi driver 30 minutes to try to access it from any angle after which he gave up. I had to walk alone in the middle of the night with heavy suitcase and backpack trying to find the flat. The host did not have the courtesy to at least warn me about the face of the roads being blocked.
  
  The mattress of the bed it terribly soft, you feel like you sleep in a hamac. I ended up sleeping on a couch just not to break my back.

• Apartamento bonito y con excelente ubicación pero con HONGOS EN EL BAÑO – Ana from Spain – 19 December 2024 (7/10)

  La ubicación, la amplitud y el fácil acceso. Es un piso muy bonito y justo a la vuelta de la plaza del Domo
  
  What could be improved: El baño es muy pequeño y tenía hongos, lo comuniqué y la respuesta por parte del alojamiento es que las manchas son permanentes. Los hongos se pueden quitar con productos ezclusivos para esto y luego pintar para dar una sensación de higiente. Ducharme aqui me dió asco

• Exceptional – Tsukihiro from Japan – 14 May 2025 (10/10)

  廚房設備齊全，功能完善。地段不錯，距離被佔領時期博物館很近，這次旅行最喜歡的住宿! 附近環境也非常好，有酒吧但是晚上仍然非常安靜。房內非常乾淨。

• Exceptional – Anton from Belgium – 15 April 2024 (10/10)

  Потрясающее расположение в самом сердце стариной Риги! В апартаментах есть всё для комфортного прибывания для троих человек, мы останавливались на 5 ночей. Особенность и изюминка этих апартаментов старинные балки, двери, каминая печь и паркет обыгранные в современном стиле. Туалет и ванна оказались меньше чем хотелось.
  
  What could be improved: Всё понравилось.

• Jesteśmy rozczarowani jakością apartamentu. – Marek from Poland – 21 September 2024 (4/10)

  Lokalizacja .
  
  What could be improved: Kabina prysznicowa z grzybem. Łóżko z zapadającym się, nie za bardzo nadającym się do spania materacem co było przyczyną problemów zdrowotnych.

• Superb – Tatsiana from United States – 12 September 2024 (9/10)

• Exceptional – David from Canada – 25 June 2025 (10/10)

• Good – Tatjana from Germany – 5 October 2024 (7/10)
