Brivibas Yard Apartment With Parking In City Center

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The name actually tells you everything you need to know – it’s literally in someone’s converted yard space on Brīvības iela, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. I mean, you’re staying right in the thick of things on one of Riga’s main arteries, but tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with constant street noise (though you’ll definitely hear the trams rumbling by in the morning – I actually found it kind of comforting after a few days).

The apartment itself is pretty straightforward – think clean, functional, maybe a bit sparse if you’re expecting fancy touches, but everything works and the bed’s comfortable enough. What really sets this place apart is that parking situation they mention in the name. Trust me, if you’ve ever tried to park in Old Town or anywhere near the center, you’ll understand why this is basically gold. Most places either charge you extra for parking or you’re stuck circling blocks looking for a spot that costs more per day than some hotels charge per night. Here, it’s just… handled. The owner seems to have figured out what actual travelers need versus what looks good in photos.

Location-wise, you’re about a ten-minute walk from the Freedom Monument (which, side note, is where all the good stuff starts happening), and maybe fifteen minutes to get into the real heart of the Old Town. But here’s the thing – being on Brīvības means you’re also close to some of the better local spots that tourists don’t usually stumble onto. There’s this little market area nearby where you can grab actual groceries instead of overpriced tourist snacks, and several decent cafes where you’ll hear more Latvian than English. The tram connections are solid too, so if you want to explore beyond the center without dealing with rental car headaches, you’re set.

I’ll be honest – at 7.8 rating, this isn’t going to blow your mind with luxury touches or Instagram-worthy design. The shower pressure could be better, and the WiFi gets a bit spotty during peak hours. But sometimes you just want a clean, safe place to sleep that doesn’t eat your entire travel budget, where you can actually park your car and walk to dinner without planning a military operation. It’s the kind of place where you’ll spend most of your time out exploring anyway, but you’ll appreciate coming back to something that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a sterile hotel room. Plus, the check-in was surprisingly smooth – none of that awkward waiting around or confusing key pickup situations you sometimes get with apartment rentals.

Reviews

• Very good – Mariusulozas from Lithuania – 20 June 2025 (8/10)

  Great location in the center, parking spot (though not always available and a bit hectic), big flat with two large comfy beds, and with all essential equipment for short or longer stay.
  
  What could be improved: Climbing stairs to the 4th floor can be challenging if you're traveling with little kids or elderly companions. Also, water pressure in the shower can be tricky. But otherwise – great.

  Perfect location. Apartments is clean and well maintained. Perfect hospitality. Host sent all information required and even agreed on late checkout as out flight was delayed.

• Very good – Andrey from Belarus – 3 January 2024 (8/10)

  Location is very nice and you can enter the old city center just going directly down the Brivibas street.
  
  What could be improved: The main problem you can get is a parking slot inside the yard. If you arrive by car just find a place and leave the car there, use your feet to get around tye city.
