Charming flat with beautiful riverside views Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted Charming flat with beautiful riverside views on Balasta dambis, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the name alone — but you know what, sometimes the simplest descriptions are the most accurate. This apartment sits right along the Daugava River, and those views they promise? They’re absolutely real. I mean, you wake up to the water stretching out in front of you, and it’s one of those moments where you remember why you travel in the first place.

The Space Itself

The flat feels genuinely lived-in rather than sterile — there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like a hotel showroom. The room layout works really well for couples (which makes sense, given how highly couples rate this place), and honestly, the whole setup just flows naturally. You’ve got everything you need without feeling cramped, and the kitchen is actually functional if you want to grab some local groceries and cook with that river view as your backdrop. The furnishings aren’t fancy, but they’re comfortable and thoughtfully chosen.

That Riverside Location

Here’s what I love about the location on Balasta dambis — you’re close enough to central Rīga to easily explore the Old Town, but far enough out that you escape the tourist crowds when you come home. The riverfront here is perfect for morning walks, and I actually found some great local spots nearby that most visitors miss entirely. The parking situation is a huge plus too — having your own spot right on site means you don’t have to stress about finding somewhere to leave your car in the city.

What Makes It Special

Look, this isn’t a five-star hotel with a concierge and room service, but that’s exactly why it works so well. You get that authentic feeling of actually living in Rīga for a few days rather than just passing through. The hosts clearly care about the details — everything from the way the place is maintained to how they handle the booking process feels personal and genuine. Those riverside views aren’t just a marketing gimmick either; they’re the kind of thing that makes you want to sit with your coffee a little longer each morning.

Why Guests Love It

The 10-out-of-10 rating isn’t just a fluke — this place delivers on what it promises without any pretense. Couples especially seem to connect with the intimate, peaceful vibe here, and I can see why. There’s something about having your own space with those water views that just works for a romantic getaway or even a quiet retreat. Plus, that 9.8 location rating from recent guests tells you everything you need to know about how well-positioned this flat really is. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out.

  • Amazing apartment with everything you need! Stunning design and a breathtaking view. – Grete from Estonia – 7 June 2025 (10/10)

    It’s very well-equipped, featuring two spacious bathrooms and bedrooms with super comfy beds, a beautiful living room with designer furniture, a fully stocked kitchen and a lovely balcony.

    The apartment has plenty of windows, offering an amazing view of the yacht port, river and old town. The location is peaceful, just a 15-minute walk to the old town, with a supermarket conveniently nearby. Free parking in the yard.

    Highly recommend!
