AveSol Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? I was honestly skeptical when I first pulled up to AveSol Apartment on Miķeļa iela – I mean, it’s this unassuming building tucked into one of Riga’s quieter residential streets, and from the outside it doesn’t scream “amazing place to stay.” But that 9.2 rating isn’t lying, and I get it now. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that someone actually cares about this place. The lobby smells like fresh coffee instead of that generic hotel air freshener, and the woman at reception (I think her name was Inga?) knew exactly which tram would get me to the Old Town fastest – not the touristy route, but the one locals actually use.

The apartment itself is where things get really good. It’s properly spacious, which is rare in Riga’s city center, and the kitchen isn’t just for show – I actually cooked breakfast there a couple mornings because the nearby Rimi has incredible local produce. The bed is one of those firm European mattresses that takes a night to get used to, but then you sleep like a rock. What really impressed me was the attention to small stuff: proper blackout curtains (trust me, those white nights in summer are no joke), outlets exactly where you need them, and a shower with actual water pressure. The Wi-Fi reaches every corner of the apartment, which honestly saved me when I had to jump on a work call from the kitchen table.

Here’s the thing about the location – Miķeļa iela isn’t in the thick of the tourist chaos, but you’re literally a 15-minute walk from the cathedral and all that medieval stuff everyone comes to see. More importantly, you’re in an actual neighborhood where people live. There’s this little bakery two blocks down that opens at 6 AM and makes these incredible rye rolls, and the park across the street (Kronvalda) is perfect for morning runs – I saw the same dog walker there every day, and by the end of the week we were nodding hello like old friends. The tram stop is maybe 200 meters away, so getting around is dead simple, and honestly, parking isn’t the nightmare it is in most of central Riga if you’re driving. The building itself is quiet – I was worried about street noise, but the windows are surprisingly good, and the courtyard faces away from traffic. Only tiny complaint? The elevator is one of those classic European ones that fits exactly two people and a suitcase, but hey, that’s part of the charm. For a 3-star place, AveSol punches way above its weight – it’s got that sweet spot of being comfortable and well-located without the tourist markup you get closer to Town Hall Square.
