Cozy Apartment- Self Check- In

Cozy Apartment- Self Check- In Overview

You know what struck me first about this place? The address – Krišjāņa Valdemāra iela 106 – sounds intimidating if you don’t speak Latvian, but honestly, it’s one of the easiest spots to find in Riga. Valdemāra street is basically a main artery that locals actually use for directions, not some random side street that’ll have you wandering around with Google Maps for twenty minutes.

The self check-in thing actually works here, which I was skeptical about initially. I mean, you’re basically getting apartment keys without talking to anyone, but the instructions were clear enough that even my tech-challenged travel buddy figured it out. The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room – there’s this lived-in comfort that’s hard to fake. The cozy part of the name isn’t just marketing speak; it’s genuinely the kind of place where you’ll find yourself making coffee in the morning instead of rushing out to find a café. Though honestly, if you do want to venture out, there’s this little bakery about two blocks down that locals line up at around 8 AM – worth the early wake-up call.

What really surprised me was how quiet it stays despite being on a fairly busy street. The windows must be decent quality because you’re not getting the usual city noise that keeps you up at night. The neighborhood has this interesting mix – you’ve got office buildings nearby (which explains why it’s so peaceful in the evenings), but also enough residential character that you don’t feel like you’re staying in a business district. I actually ended up walking to the old town a few times because the route along the Daugava river is pretty nice, especially in the evening when the light hits the water just right. Takes about twenty minutes if you’re not in a rush.

The 9.5 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here – it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything just works. Hot water, reliable wifi, clean linens, and enough space to actually unpack your stuff instead of living out of a suitcase. Plus, having a proper kitchen means you can grab groceries from the Rimi supermarket nearby instead of eating out every meal. The checkout process was just as smooth as checking in, which honestly surprised me because usually one end of the experience is more complicated than the other.

If I had to nitpick, the building entrance is a bit underwhelming – you might walk past it thinking it’s just another apartment building (which, technically, it is). But that’s also part of the charm; you’re staying where people actually live, not in some tourist bubble. For the price point and location, especially if you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring Riga rather than lounging in luxury amenities, this place delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises.

• Superb – Mārtiņš from Latvia – 27 January 2025 (9/10)

  Very beautiful apartment. Many antique style interior elements, which makes the apartment very stylish. Though the apartment is located on 1th floor, it's pretty high above the street level, so bums will not bang on the windowsills 🙂

• The apartment was comfortable. – Darja from Latvia – 15 December 2024 (9/10)

  Thank you for the warm welcome! Our family enjoyed your apartment! Good location and it's cool that the parking is free and right next to the house! The beds were comfortable and clean! Everything was nicely prepared – slippers, towels, shower gel, shampoo and coffee/tea in the kitchen. The only little thing our family missed was sugar…but that's a little thing! We will definitely come back again!

• Exceptional – Sabīne from Latvia – 21 February 2025 (10/10)

  Perfekti tīrs un kārtīgs, pieejams viss nepieciešamais un pat vairāk. Ļoti atsaucīga saimniece, visa nepieciešamā informācija pieejama laicīgi un operatīvi atbildēja uz visiem papildus jautājumiem.
  
  What could be improved: Dzīvoklī pavēsi, noderētu kāds papildus sildītājs.

• Viss bija ļoti labi, paldies! – Linda from Latvia – 16 February 2025 (10/10)

  Lokācija ideāla, 5 minūšu brauciens no centra. Ērts bezmaksas parkings turpat pagalmā. Apartamentā par visu padomāts, tas bija tīrs un kārtīgs. Piemērots arī vairāku cilvēku ģimenei ar bērniem – ir vairākas guļvietas un pilnībā aprīkota virtuve gatavošanai. Komunikācija ar saimnieci precīza, saprotama.
  
  What could be improved: Lai gan radiatori bija karsti, telpās bija diezgan pavēss.
