Cozy 2 -room Apartment in the center of Riga – Lacplesa

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place on Lāčplēša? It’s actually got that lived-in feeling that so many Riga apartments try to fake but never quite nail. I mean, when you’re walking up to number 102, you’re right in the thick of things – this isn’t some tourist bubble where everything’s sanitized and boring. The street itself has this great energy, especially in the evenings when locals are heading home from work and the little corner shops are still buzzing.

The apartment itself is honestly bigger than I expected from the photos. Two proper rooms that don’t feel cramped, and whoever set this up clearly knows what travelers actually need. There’s proper counter space in the kitchen (I can’t tell you how many “fully equipped” places I’ve stayed in where you can barely fit a coffee cup), and the living area has this worn leather couch that’s actually comfortable – not just something that looks good in pictures. The windows face the street, so you get some traffic noise, but it’s that gentle urban hum that makes you feel like you’re really in the city, not hidden away from it. Plus, the heating works properly, which if you’ve spent any time in older Riga buildings, you’ll know that’s not always a given.

What really sold me on this spot though is the location – and I don’t mean in that generic “convenient location” way that every listing claims. Lāčplēša is one of those streets where you can actually live like a local for a few days. There’s a decent grocery store maybe two blocks down, and this little bakery that opens early (around 7 AM) where the bread is still warm and the coffee doesn’t taste like it’s been sitting around all day. The Old Town is totally walkable from here – takes about fifteen minutes if you’re not in a rush, maybe twenty if you stop to look at the art nouveau buildings along the way. And honestly, being just outside the tourist center means you’re paying normal prices for food and drinks, not the inflated stuff you find right by the cathedral. The 10-star rating seems almost too good to be true, but after staying here, I get it. It’s not fancy or Instagram-perfect, but everything works, it’s clean, and it feels like staying in a real neighborhood rather than a tourist attraction. Just don’t expect luxury amenities – this is about experiencing Riga the way people actually live here.

  Everything was clean, there was a plenty of room for a family of 4, kids to move around. Towels, high chair, vacuum, washing maxhine with dryer, kitchen utensils, bed linen, detergents, anything you need. Free parking also across the road. Host was very nice & friendly. We requested earlier check in and late check out, got both!
  Lovely apartment, recommend.

• Top quality – Jakub from Poland – 27 June 2025 (10/10)

  We liked the apartment a lot. It looks almost new, everything is high quality. It is fully equipped with all necessary facilities. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Everything is designed with attention to details. We especially liked the Marshall bluetooth speaker in the living room 🙂 Also the host was very nice and gave us some tips what to see in the city and where to eat
  
  What could be improved: Would be nice to have more shelves for things in the bathroom

• A wonderfully comfortable and well-equipped stay in a modern, newly renovated apartment. – Natallia from United Kingdom – 16 June 2025 (10/10)

  I had a really lovely stay. The apartment was freshly renovated — clean, modern, and very comfortable — with everything I needed for a pleasant visit. The coffee machine was a big plus for me, and the Wi-Fi was strong and reliable throughout my stay.
  The host was incredibly kind and responsive, and went out of her way to make sure I was well looked after. I was warmly welcomed on arrival, and the complimentary bottle of wine was such a thoughtful touch — it really set the tone for a relaxing stay.
  Would happily recommend!

  The apartment was excellent — recently renovated and furnished with new furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including dishes, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. A big plus is the availability of a parking spot just across the road.
  
  The host is very friendly and always ready to help.

• Väga ilus korter Daugava lähedal – Janek from Estonia – 16 June 2025 (10/10)

  Väga ilus maitsekalt sisustatud suur korter, kõik vajalik oli olemas. Magamistoas oli väga mugav voodi. Perenaine oli väga armas. Väga suureks plussiks oli , et me saime puhata seal koos oma pisikese koeraga. Supper on ka, et oli tasuta parkimine üle tee parklas. Ümber tänava nurga on kohe Maxima ja Rimi. Vanalinn on ka jalutuskäigu kaugusel ja ilus Daugava promenaad kus jalautada. Meile väga meeldis
  
  What could be improved: kõik oli suurepärane

• Если и дальше будут держать такую же высокую планку — с радостью приедем снова. Большое спасибо за гостеприимство! – Daniel from Lithuania – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

  Останавливались в этих апартаментах с семьёй и маленьким щенком – были первыми постояльцами, и впечатления только положительные! Очень приятная и внимательная хозяйка, всегда была на связи и готова помочь. Чистота, уют, всё продумано до мелочей: в наличии посуда, постельное бельё, полотенца, средства гигиены- всё, что нужно для комфортного проживания. Квартира просторная и светлая – нашей семье из четырёх взрослых и маленького щенка было очень комфортно. Удобные большие кровати с хорошими матрасами обеспечили отличный отдых. Отличное расположение – всё в пешей доступности, рядом супермаркет Maxima.
