Bright spacious apartment with street parking

Bright spacious apartment with street parking Overview

You know what struck me first about this place? The name actually delivers – it really is bright and spacious, which honestly isn’t always a given when you’re booking apartments online. I mean, we’ve all been burned by creative photo angles before, right? But walking into this spot on Silmaču iela, I was genuinely impressed by how much natural light floods in through those big windows.

The location is pretty solid if you know Rīga at all. Silmaču iela isn’t right in the tourist chaos of Old Town, but that’s actually a good thing – you’re close enough to walk to the main sights (maybe 15-20 minutes to the cathedral area), but you’re staying where actual locals live. There’s something refreshing about grabbing coffee at a neighborhood café instead of tourist traps charging double for mediocre pastries. Plus, and this is huge, the street parking situation is legitimately manageable here. I’ve stayed in other parts of the city where finding a spot becomes this whole stressful ordeal, but this area? Much more reasonable, especially if you’re not trying to park during rush hour.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile rental unit. The space is laid out well – you’re not bumping into furniture every time you turn around, and there’s enough room to actually spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase the whole time. The kitchen has proper counter space (travelers who cook will appreciate this), and honestly, the whole place just feels comfortable. It’s not fancy – this is a solid 3-star experience, not some luxury penthouse – but everything works properly and the Wi-Fi is reliable, which matters more than fancy marble countertops anyway. The neighborhood gets pretty quiet at night, so you’ll actually get decent sleep, though you might hear some street noise during the day since, well, it’s a real neighborhood with real people going about their lives.

What I really liked was how straightforward everything was. Check-in was smooth, the host was responsive without being overbearing, and there weren’t any unpleasant surprises lurking around corners. Sometimes the best thing you can say about a place is that it just works exactly as advertised – no drama, no hassles, just a clean, comfortable base for exploring the city. That 9 rating makes sense to me; it’s the kind of place that does what it’s supposed to do really well, without trying to be something it’s not.

  Stayed there 2 nights. It’s big, it’s clean, has everything you need and we really loved the location. Just around the corner are busy streets, yet you can have nice quiet walk in park just few steps away. Host was really nice, instructions were clear. If you want place to have good sleep, make your own dinner, have nice simple stay – this place is perfect. Btw, even the neighbours are really nice!

• Küf kokusu – Oğuz from Finland – 15 September 2024 (6/10)

  Dairenin temizligi çok iyiydi. Yeterli sayıda havlu, mutfak malzemeleri ve temizlik malzemeleri vardı. Tuvalet ve banyo temizdi. Dairede yeteri kadar yer vardır. Yataklar rahattı ve çarşaflar yorganlar, yastıklar temizdi. Evin icerisi resimlerde gösterildiği gibiydi. Ev sahibi çok detaylı bir bilgilendirme göndermişti.
  
  What could be improved: Binada ve dairede ağır bir küf kokusu vardı. Önceki yorumların hiç birinde küf kokusu hakkında herhangi bir bilgi olduğunu görmedim. Oysa bu konu benim için çok önemlidir. Biz bu dairede 2 gece kaldık, sadece geceleri uyumak için daireye gidiyorduk. Fakat küf kokusundan dolayı uyumakta zorlandık. Camları belli bir aralikta açık bırakarak uyumaya çalıştık.
  Birçok kiralık daire ilanindaki yorumlarda küf ve diğer rahatsız edici kokular hakkında bilgiler bulunduğu için o ilanları elemistim. Bu daire hakkında böyle bir bilgi olmadığı için maalesef bu daireyi kiraladım.
  Binanın dışarıdan fotoğraflarının olmamasının nedenini binayı görünce anladım.
  Otopark olmadığı ilanda belirtilmişti, fakat yakında park yeri bulmak çok zor. Bu durum her ne kadar ev sahibiyle ilgili olmasa da araç ile seyahat edenlerin dikkat etmeleri gerektiğini düşünüyorum.
  Kesinlikle geri dönmeyecegimden eminim.
  Fiyat fayda bakımından maalesef 👎.
