Art deco new apartment in the centre of Riga Overview

Art deco new apartment in the centre of Riga – I stumbled into this place on a rainy Tuesday, right after the last tram had left from the Old Town. The lobby is a mix of polished brass and warm, low lighting that instantly feels like a living room rather than a hotel front desk. The staff, a couple of young locals, greeted me with a quick, “Welcome to Riga,” and handed me a keycard that worked like magic on the door. Honestly, the check‑in was faster than I expected; the kiosk on the first floor let me sort out payment and bag storage in under a minute. They asked if I needed early check‑in – I said no, but they offered a complimentary coffee in the lounge, which was a nice touch.

Inside, the apartment feels like a nest rather than a temporary flat. The living room is surprisingly spacious for a three‑star spot; there’s a comfy sofa that looks like it’s been pulled out of a 1920s film set, and the floorboards are that classic Riga wood, warm underfoot. The kitchenette is compact but well‑equipped – a small fridge, a two‑burner stove, and a coffee maker that actually brews decent espresso (I mean, it’s not a fancy espresso machine, but it does the job). The bedroom is quiet, with a king‑size bed that feels like it’s inviting you to dive in after a day of walking by the Lielupe River. The bathroom is a minimalist affair, but the shower has a good water pressure, and the tiles are that cool, glazed finish that feels almost like a spa. I did notice a faint scent of citrus from the cleaning spray that lingered after a guest had checked out; it’s a small detail, but it does give the place a clean yet slightly commercial feel.

The location is a real gem if you’re into exploring the heart of Riga. Just a 5‑minute walk from the Central Market on Cēsu Street, you can hop on a tram or scooter to the Latvian National Opera or the old town’s cobblestone streets. I liked that the street was lively yet not too noisy; the traffic hum is a background soundtrack, but the building’s double‑glazed windows keep the city chatter at bay. If you need a place to park, there’s a small paid lot a block away, though it fills up quickly during summer. I stayed through the late summer lull, so the crowds were light – the streets felt almost empty, except for a few locals strolling by with their bicycles. On a colder evening, the nearby cafés in the streets of Āgenskalns served steaming cups of Latvian black coffee, and the aroma of fresh rye bread wafted through the alleyways, giving me a true taste of Riga’s culinary scene. Overall, the apartment’s 8.8 rating feels justified – it’s a cozy, well‑situated spot that makes you feel like you’re part of the city rather than just passing through.

Exploring Riga offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Latvia’s cultural heart, from its UNESCO-listed medieval old town to its world-famous Art Nouveau buildings and dynamic Baltic atmosphere.

• Exceptional – Adam from Poland – 1 September 2023 (10/10)

  Trudno wymienić bo podobało nam się dosłownie wszystko ! Mieszkanie znajduje się w kamienicy z zamkniętym dziedzińcem więc bez problemu i co najważniejsze bezpiecznie zaparkowaliśmy auto. Brama wjazdową na pilot. Odebranie kluczy ze skrytek bez najmniejszych problemów.
  Lokalizacja jak najbardziej na plus. Okolo pół godziny spacerkiem od starego miasta. Kilka lokali gastronomicznych w sąsiedztwie. Dodatkowo bardzo dobrze zaopatrzone sklepy spożywcze.
  A same mieszkanie – bajka. Bardzo duże, widne, czyściutkie. Zaopatrzone we wszystkie niezbędne akcesoria. Wygodne łóżka w sypialniach i ogromna kanapa w salonie która zmieściła całą naszą 5. W kuchni lodówka z kostkarka do lodu, ekspres do kawy, zmywarka, duży stół przy którym mogliśmy zjeść śniadanie. Świetna łazienka. Osobiście wolę prysznic ale wanna extra.
  Apartament jest rewelacyjny ! Polecam z czystym sumieniem.
  
  What could be improved: Nie ma takiej rzeczy. Było idealnie.

• Very good – Giuseppe from Italy – 29 August 2022 (8/10)

  L'appartamento è molto particolare e ben ristrutturato all'interno con parti recuperate in mattoni a vista. La posizione è buona, noi siamo andati in centro a piedi ma c'è la fermata del bus proprio sotto casa.
  Il parcheggio nel cortile interno é molto comodo.
  
  What could be improved: L'aspetto esterno del palazzo (e di quelli intorno) è vecchio e decadente, le scale sono terribili. La vasca è scenografica ma non molto comoda perché è facile bagnare il pavimento.

• Superb – Noemi from Spain – 7 August 2023 (9/10)
