Apartments in Art Nouveau District

Apartments in Art Nouveau District Overview

Apartments in Art Nouveau District – if you’re looking for a place that feels less like a hotel and more like a local’s second home, this is the spot. I stumbled upon it one rainy afternoon while wandering around the old part of Riga, and the building itself is a playful nod to the city’s famous Art Nouveau architecture – think sweeping balconies, ornate ironwork, and that faint, almost nostalgic scent of fresh paint mixed with drifts in from the harbor. The ground‑floor entrance opens right onto a narrow alley that’s lined with tiny cafés and a vintage bookshop, so you can grab a coffee or a quick bite without ever having to cross the street. The check‑in process was surprisingly breezy; the receptionist was friendly, and she had a map of the city with handwritten notes about the best local bakery (she swears it beats the chain stores by a mile). You’ll get a key card and a small guide that lists a handful of hidden gems – like a little art gallery on Elizabetes iela that’s totally off the tourist radar.

The apartment itself is a compact, well‑thought‑out space. The living area opens onto a balcony that overlooks a quiet courtyard – I swear the only sound you hear is the distant chatter of people strolling in the park and a faint, rhythmic creak from the old wooden floorboards. Inside, the décor is a blend of modern comfort and historic charm: a sleek sofa, a reclaimed‑wood coffee table, and a tiny kitchenette that comes with a stove, fridge, and a kettle that whistles like a kettle on a kettle. The kitchen is surprisingly practical – I even managed to whip up a quick breakfast of rye bread and smoked fish from the local market’s stall a few blocks away. The bathroom is a mini‑spa: a deep tub with a view of the courtyard, fresh towels that feel like a cloud, and a shower with a full‑head sprayer that’s just the right pressure for a quick rinse after a day of exploring.

Parking in this part of the city can be a challenge, but the building’s basement has a few spots that are perfectly suited for scooters and bikes, which is handy if you’re planning to hop around on a rented bike or a scooter – just ask the staff for a spare key. Noise-wise, I found the apartment pretty quiet after 10 p.m.; the only thing that creaks is the old door and the occasional distant hum of traffic on the main street. If you’re staying during the summer, expect the street to buzz with tourists, but the apartment’s double‑glazed windows do a decent job of muffling the noise. In the winter, the heat is reliable, and the apartment stays cozy even when the city feels. Honestly, the only minor critique I have is that the Wi‑Fi speed can be a bit sluggish during peak hours, but you can always step out to the nearby coffee shop if you need a faster connection. Overall, it’s a sweet, authentic slice of life in Riga that like your own little hideaway, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a genuine, unpretentious stay in the city.

  The host was super nice and helpful. The apartment was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed (fridge, stove, microwave, hairdryer). Towels and bed sheets were included in the price. The main attractions were all about 15-20 minutes by feet from the apartment. We would absolutely recommend this place!
  
  What could be improved: There were no shutters or blinds on the windows of the room, only more or less darkening curtains, but in the morning a lot of light entered the room. Nothing an eye mask can’t fix!
