4 Bedroom House with Playground, BBQ & Free Parking

4 Bedroom House with Playground, BBQ & Free Parking Overview

I recently stayed at 4 Bedroom House with Playground, BBQ & Free Parking on 21 Atvaru iela in Rīga and I have to say, it’s one of those places that feels like a home away from home, but with a few extra perks that locals love. The house sits just a few streets from the old town, but it’s tucked in a quieter residential block, so you won’t hear the tourist chatter from the main square until after midnight. The address itself—Atvaru iela, LV-1063—might sound like a forgotten side street, but it’s actually a favorite shortcut for locals heading to the river promenade or the little cafés on Mīlgrāls Street. And the free parking? Honestly, that’s a lifesaver. Just pull up, lock the door, and you’re set—no need to scour for a meter or worry about a parking fee that drains your travel budget.

The first thing that struck me was the backyard. There’s a full-sized playground that’s perfect for a family with kids—think swings, a climbing frame, and even a small sandpit. It’s a breath of fresh air when most hotels in Rīga feel like cramped, glass-walled spaces. The BBQ area is a hit too; you can grill up some local sausages or even just a simple pizza while enjoying the evening breeze. The smell of sizzling meat mixes with the faint scent of fresh pine from the nearby parks, creating a surprisingly cozy atmosphere. The house itself is three stories, each with a distinct character. The living room on the first floor has a big window that lets in the morning light, and there’s a small balcony that overlooks a quiet courtyard—perfect for sipping your first morning coffee. The bedrooms are spacious, with plenty of natural light, and the bathrooms have that minimalist Latvian design—think clean lines and a surprisingly large shower. I did notice that the Wi-Fi is a bit spotty when the town gets busy, especially during the summer tourist season, but that’s a small price to pay for the overall vibe.

Check‑in was a breeze, too. The owner, Jānis, is a friendly fellow who greeted us at the door and gave us a quick tour. He explained the house rules, pointed out the best spots in town (like the ice cream shop on Kuldīgas Street and the bakery that sells fresh rye bread at 6 a.m.), and handed over the keys with a smile. No long wait at a reception desk—just a quick handshake and you’re in. Noise-wise, the place is pretty quiet, except for the occasional car passing by on Atvaru iela, which is hardly a disruption. The only critique I have is that the kitchen could use a bit more storage—there’s not a lot of space for larger pots or a second fridge, so if you’re planning a big family meal, you might want to bring a few extra items. But overall, it’s an excellent spot for families or groups who want a bit of space, a playground for the kids, and a free parking spot with a true local feel. If you’re looking for that blend of comfort, authenticity, and convenience without the hotel hype, this house is definitely worth a visit.

Reviews of 4 Bedroom House with Playground, BBQ & Free Parking

• Everything was like in pictures. You can find the full information about the apartment. – Velta from Latvia – 20 February 2024 (10/10)

  We had family gathering and decided to have a rest before traveling back home.
  The apartment building has two separate entrances, so it is ideal for two families who are traveling together.
  The accommodations have wonderful interior solutions. If your traveling with children, they will have toy basket available for use, as well as wonderful playground in the yard.
  You have everything necessary to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The kitchen has all the tools to make meals on spot. Apartments are clean and tidy, extra linens can be found in closet if needed.
  We will definitely return in summer time and bring our furry family members with us.
  
  What could be improved: The weather could be better.

• Superb – Alex from Estonia – 1 May 2025 (9/10)

  Olen Garden, parking, location.
  
  What could be improved: Small fridge

• Good – Kadri from Estonia – 29 April 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment was clean.
  
  What could be improved: There was no living room – no sofa, no places for sitting. The kitchen chairs had wobbly feet.

• Good – Liigab from Latvia – 10 December 2023 (7/10)

  Everything was clean and with a wonderful safe playground for minors
  There is everything for cooking.
  
  What could be improved: It was not told in a description that these are two separate apartments with separate entrances. It makes a life complicated, especially staying with kids.

• Exceptional – Kaia-liina from Estonia – 6 July 2025 (10/10)

  Kõik meeldis

• Exceptional – Anneli from Estonia – 3 July 2025 (10/10)

  Toad olid puhtad ja mõnusad. Voodid head. Köögis vajalik kõik olemas. Õueala mõnus ja lastega peredele väga hea.
  
  What could be improved: Ei saa öelda, et ei meeldinud, vaid pigem soovitused : ei olnud sellist mõnusat istumise kohta. Õnneks oli õues ilusad ilmad ja sai väljas olla. Diivanvoodi iga keeramisega öösel ragises – võib olla vajaks välja vahetamist.

• Superb – Виктор from Finland – 1 June 2025 (9/10)

  Autolla ok sijainti, parinkymmenen minuutin matka Riikan keskustasta isoa tietä pitkin. Auton sai hyvin parkkiin sisäpihalle.
  
  What could be improved: Hyvin kompaktit tilat. Ei ole isoa yhteistä koko porukan ruokapöytää, jos varaa talon molemmat puolikkaat.

• Exceptional – Tatjana from Germany – 29 January 2025 (10/10)

  Все понравилось. Чисто, уютно, все есть.
  
  What could be improved: Что надо чистить мангал от сгоревших углей

• Exceptional – Ovidijus from Lithuania – 15 December 2024 (10/10)

  Labai švaru, jauki aplinka, buvo viskas jo tik reikia, nuo stalo įrankių iki šašlykinės. Uždaras kiemas, vaikams žaidimų aikštelė, rami vieta. Didelis pliusas tai šildomos grindys 🙂 pirmos pagalbos vaistinėlė ir gesintuvas aiškiai matomoje vietoje…
  
  What could be improved: Toli nuo centro, bet jį lengva pasiekti automobiliu. Tolokai didesnės parduotuvės pavydžiui kaip "Maxima".
  Apartamentų antrame aukšte vonios kambarys neispūdingo dydžio.

• Very good – Merike from Estonia – 11 October 2024 (8/10)

  Hästi varustatud maja kahele erinevale seltskonnale. Sobib hästi lastega perele.
  
  What could be improved: Ilma isikliku autota sinna saamine on keeruline. Oma autoga on kõik sobiv. Ühes korteris oli küll mainitud et kohti on neljale, kuid kaks pidid magama lahtikäival diivanil. See oli aga keskelt suht lohkus ja ebanugav. Samas oli majutumas neli meesterahvas ja polnud arvestanud, et peavad paari kaupa ühes voodis magama. Aga saime hakkama.
