Apartment Blaumana 6

Apartment Blaumana 6 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment Blaumana 6 on one of Riga‘s most charming streets, you immediately get that “I’m staying somewhere special” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the heart of the Old Town, and I mean literally — you’re about two minutes from the Freedom Monument and maybe five from the cathedral. The building itself has that classic Latvian architecture thing going on, but what really struck me was how quiet it felt despite being so central.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s what I love about this place — it’s actually an apartment setup, not just another hotel room. You get a proper kitchen with everything you need, which honestly saved me a fortune on meals (Riga’s restaurant scene is fantastic, but your wallet appreciates the option). The space feels genuinely lived-in rather than sterile, with thoughtful touches like local artwork and books about Latvia’s history. The Wi-Fi is solid — I worked from here a couple of mornings without any issues.

Location Magic

You know what’s brilliant about Blaumaņa street? It’s one of those addresses that locals actually recognize and respect. I’d mention where I was staying to people I met, and they’d nod approvingly — that’s always a good sign. The Freedom Monument is literally around the corner, and you can walk to pretty much everything worth seeing in the Old Town. But here’s the insider bit: you’re also perfectly positioned for the Art Nouveau district, which honestly might be Riga’s best-kept secret.

Practical Comforts

The apartment comes with all those little things that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. There’s proper parking available (and trust me, you want that sorted in advance in this part of town), plus the heating actually works well — important if you’re visiting outside summer. The bathroom has a decent shower with good pressure, and there’s enough storage space that you can properly unpack. I particularly appreciated having a washing machine, which meant I could pack lighter.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.5 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects something real about this place. Couples especially seem to get it (they’ve rated the location a perfect 10), and I can see why. There’s something romantic about having your own little Riga hideaway right in the center of everything, but with enough space and privacy to actually relax. The host clearly knows what they’re doing — communication was smooth, check-in was seamless, and they provided genuinely useful local tips rather than generic tourist stuff. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in Riga rather than just visiting it, which is exactly what you want from an apartment stay.
