Al Pacino baby apartment

Al Pacino baby apartment Overview

You know what? The name “Al Pacino baby apartment” had me scratching my head at first – I mean, it’s definitely not what you’d expect for a place in Riga’s old town area. But honestly, after staying there, I sort of get it. There’s something unexpectedly cinematic about this little spot tucked away in Jāņa sēta, like you’ve stumbled into some indie film set rather than your typical Baltic accommodation.

The thing is, this isn’t your standard hotel setup – it’s more like crashing at a friend’s really well-appointed apartment, which actually works in its favor. The location puts you right in the heart of things without the tourist trap chaos. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Vecrīga (that’s old town for those keeping track), but far enough into the residential streets that you’re not dealing with bachelor parties stumbling past your window at 3 AM. I loved that you could grab proper coffee and pastries at the little café around the corner – locals go there, not just tourists taking Instagram shots. The apartment itself surprised me with how thoughtfully put together everything was. Sure, it’s a 3-star place, but whoever designed this space actually thought about how people live, not just where they crash for a night. The kitchen had real plates and proper coffee cups, the bed was genuinely comfortable (not that rock-hard European mattress thing), and there was enough space to actually unpack if you’re staying more than a couple days.

What really impressed me was the attention to small details that you don’t usually find – good lighting for reading, outlets where you actually need them, and the heating worked perfectly, which trust me, matters in Latvia even in shoulder season. The neighborhood gets wonderfully quiet in the evenings, but during the day there’s this nice residential buzz happening. I’d see the same people walking their dogs, heading to work, living their actual lives – it felt authentic rather than like staying in some sanitized hotel bubble. The only minor thing I’d mention is that parking can be a bit of a hunt if you’re driving, but honestly, you probably don’t need a car anyway since everything’s walkable or easily reached by tram. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that overly formal hotel reception drama, just practical information about how everything works and genuinely helpful suggestions about the area. That 9.3 rating makes complete sense to me because this place delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not.

• Beautiful apartment, perfect location. – Larissa from United States – 22 June 2025 (10/10)

  So much to say about this apartment and Riga. Riga is an amazing city with so much to see and experience and many directions to go to explore outside the city. And this apartment was the best base for it all. It’s located less than a ten minute walk from the Central train and bus stations and the Central Market (huge diversity of products), five minutes from the opera house and its beautiful setting on the Riga canal (lovely parks in this town). We saw an actual beaver walk into the canal and swim around next to the opera house! There is a Rimi Super grocery store in a nice mall two minutes away. Tram stops just beyond that (the #8 leaves from nearby and takes you across the river to the southern side of Riga and places like the trendy Agenskalns Market). St Peter’s Church and its observation spire (elevator) is two minutes away (great views, a must-do!). The apartment itself was very comfortable and spacious. The bedroom has both translucent curtains and blackout curtains. It has a huge amount of storage!, a nice washing machine and drying rack, coffee galore, nice courtyard views of St John’s Church attached to your apartment building. We could faintly hear the church choir and organ practice occasionally in our three days there, a nice touch. Jana Seta is the courtyard you enter the apartment building from. It’s important in Riga’s early history. Today it’s got a few bars (though it might have back then, too), but you don’t hear them at all from the apartment. If there is anybody staying in the adjoining apartments, you might hear them, but use a white noise app on your phone and that will solve that for the most part. Communication with the host was great and we found the apartment easily (I’ve attached pictures of the two arched entrances you use to access Jana Seta courtyard. Loved this place, thank you!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing major to make note of.

• A Quiet Haven in a Chaotic city – Wendy from United Kingdom – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  What a lovely apartment! We arrived in the evening when the drinking culture was waking and really thought the apartment would be noisy but in fact it was so quiet! Beautifully laid out with everything we needed. Would loved to have stayed a bit longer.
  Big windows, light and airy. The extra things like tea coffee sugar salt etc was a real bonus. Highly recommend this place!

• Nice weekend in Riga – Vitalija from Lithuania – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

  Very nice antique interior, the colours, design, we like everything, also we found everything needed for short weekend visit, tea, coffee, even coffee machine, amenities. As we arrived earlier check-in time, host allowed us to leave our luggage. Thank you.
  
  What could be improved: The location is very central, and could not be better when you know already where it is. But we were in big trouble finding the address, because Jana seta (yard) is not the same as Jana iela, and nobody knows where exactly that yard with Tims Mints green door is. Finally the church servant helped us and led through the church corridors and showed that door. I think that more photos and info about Jana seta yard direction could be very helpful.

• Exceptional – Gintaras from Ireland – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

  Gorgeous place to stay right in the middle of everything. Didn’t need transport to anywhere all within walking distance. The apartment was lovely had everything we needed would definitely recommend.

• Very convenient location, great responsive host, lovely apartment! – Elizabeth from Australia – 12 January 2025 (8/10)

  Location was excellent, very central!
  
  What could be improved: I didn't love lugging luggage up three flights of stairs, but a very minor dislike overall!

• A clean and well-equipped apartment – Jekaterina from United Kingdom – 9 September 2024 (10/10)

  I am very pleased with this booking. The flat was clean and had everything I needed. I stayed with a 3-month-old baby, and it was extremely convenient to have blackout curtains to dim the room for daytime naps.
  
  The host was very responsive. I enquired about space for a pram, and she kindly sent a video of the entrance prior to our arrival, which was incredibly helpful. She also replied promptly to all the questions I had. The check-in and check-out process was straightforward, with the key being securely stored in a lockbox.
  
  One of the highlights is that although the flat is situated in one of the liveliest parts of Riga, the windows face the back patio, so it’s surprisingly quiet, apart from the occasional sound of neighbours or the church next door. The church music was actually quite lovely to hear.
  
  What could be improved: The only minor downside is that there isn’t much air circulation through the windows, so it can get a bit warm at times, especially on particularly hot days.
  
  All in all, I had a wonderful stay!
