Apartment in a renovated property, 30 m2

Apartment in a renovated property, 30 m2 Overview

When I pulled into 4a Laboratorijas iela just before sunset, the first thing I noticed was that the building itself had a sort of old‑world charm that didn’t feel like a typical hotel. I checked in at the little desk on the ground floor, and honestly, the staff was super friendly – they gave me a quick tour of the apartment and mentioned that the local bus stop (just a block away on Ārtiķu Street) was the best way to get around if you’re not renting a car. I mean, parking here is a bit of a dance; you can snag a spot in a narrow alley behind the building, but you’ll have to cross a few streets to get to the parking lot for the nearby metro station. The noise level is pretty moderate – you hear the city hum, the occasional shop bell, but by midnight it’s quiet enough to fall asleep to the distant sound of traffic fading into the night.

Inside, the place is a 30 m² slice of comfort that feels more like a home than a hotel room. The décor is a mix of contemporary and reclaimed wood – the walls have this subtle grain that feels almost tactile. I found a tiny kitchenette with a single burner, a fridge, and a coffee maker that actually brews a decent cup (I had to touch the button twice, but it’s worth it). The bed is a single with a memory foam mattress that’s surprisingly firm – not too soft, not too hard. The apartment’s window faces the street, so you catch the scent of fresh coffee from the café across the corner and the faint aroma of roasted beans from the bakery on the other side. The texture of the rug under my feet was surprisingly plush, almost a safety net as I walked around in my slippers. The bathroom, while compact, has a shower with a good pressure and a small sink that’s surprisingly functional.

What really makes this place shine is its proximity to Rīga’s cultural hotspots. I spent the next morning strolling to the Freedom Monument, then headed to the Latvian National Museum of Art, which is just a ten‑minute walk – the cobblestones under my shoes have a gentle give, and you can hear the whir of the museum’s espresso machine from the café on the corner. In the afternoon, I took a detour to the old town’s narrow lanes, and the apartment’s location on Laboratorijas iela meant I could hop

• Perfect – Kyrylo from Lithuania – 23 June 2024 (10/10)

  After a couple of disappointing experiences, I was very hesitant to rent an apartment instead of hotel. But I’m very glad I pulled the trigger with this one. Really impressive for the price. The apartment is clean, cozy and doesn’t feel small or limited at all. Photos match what you get 100%. We were glad to spend 3 nights here. Definitely would book again.
  
  What could be improved: None
