Comfort and convenience

Comfort and convenience Overview

You know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t try too hard, and this little spot on Fridriha Candera iela is exactly that. I mean, the name literally says “Comfort and convenience” – which sounds pretty basic, right? But honestly, they nail it. It’s tucked away on a quiet residential street in Torņakalns, which means you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos around Old Town, but you’re still close enough to walk to the Daugava riverbank in about five minutes. The tram stop is practically at your doorstep too, so getting into the city center is actually easier than staying right in the middle of it all.

The place has this genuine homey feel that’s hard to fake – you can tell someone actually cares about the details here. The rooms are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple” (not trying to impress you with fancy stuff, but everything works perfectly). The heating is solid, which matters more than you’d think during those brutal Baltic winters, and the windows are properly insulated so you don’t hear every car that passes. I stayed there during a particularly rainy October, and while other places I’ve been in Riga get that damp feeling, this one stayed comfortable. The Wi-Fi is reliable enough for video calls – tested it multiple times – and there’s actual decent water pressure in the shower. Little things, but they add up.

What really sets it apart is the location knowledge you get. The hosts seem to actually live in the area, so they’ll point you toward the good coffee shop three blocks down instead of the tourist trap near the train station. There’s a Rimi supermarket within walking distance if you need supplies, and honestly, being in this neighborhood gives you a better sense of how actual Rigans live. You’re close enough to stroll over to Āgenskalns Market on weekends, which is where locals do their shopping – way more interesting than the usual tourist spots. The 9.7 rating makes sense once you’re there; it’s not trying to be a luxury hotel, but it does exactly what it promises really, really well. Perfect for people who want a genuine base to explore from rather than a place to hide away in.

Reviews of Comfort and convenience

• Superb – Darren from United Kingdom – 6 July 2025 (9/10)

  A little out of the city but just a few mins from excellent public transport to city and airport (every 10 mins). Good internet and nearby local food shop.
  
  What could be improved: A toaster would be nice. But otherwise great place.

• Exceptional – Argentique from Bulgaria – 4 July 2025 (10/10)

  We landed early in the evening and the bus stop from the airport was 1 minute from the block – very convinient. The next morning we had an early flight and the bus stop to the airport is 4-5 minutes' walk from the apartment.
  The apartment is clean and cosy and it is located on the 1st floor. There were a lot of toys for children, tea, coffee, sugar, etc. in the kitchen, even micellar water in the bathroom apart everything else.
  The keys were in a lockbox, which was very convinient for us. Good communication with the host.

• An apartment 10 min away from Riga airport – Natalizia from Malta – 7 January 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment has all the amenities for a good stay. The owner is helpful and kind. She left coffee and tea and tangerines for us. She also provided us a parking permit to put in our car to cover the parking space in front of the apartment.
