Dandelion Apartments Baznīcas

Dandelion Apartments Baznīcas Overview

You know what struck me first about Dandelion Apartments Baznīcas? The name actually makes sense when you see it – there’s this charming little courtyard where dandelions pop up between the cobblestones in spring, and honestly, it’s kind of perfect against the backdrop of Rīga’s medieval architecture. The building sits right on Baznīcas iela, which translates to Church Street, and you’re literally a three-minute walk from St. Peter’s Church – I mean, you can hear the bells from some of the upper floor apartments, though it’s more charming than annoying.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve managed to blend modern apartment living with that authentic Old Town feel. The apartments themselves are spacious (and I mean actually spacious, not European-spacious), with these gorgeous hardwood floors that creak just enough to remind you you’re in a historic building. The kitchens are fully equipped – I’m talking proper coffee makers, not those terrible pod machines – and the bathrooms have heated floors, which is a godsend during those Baltic winters. The Wi-Fi is solid throughout, something I’ve learned not to take for granted in older Rīga buildings where thick walls can be an issue. Parking is the one tricky bit – there’s no dedicated lot, but locals know you can usually find street parking on the quieter side streets like Skārņu or Kalēju after 6 PM.

The staff here actually knows the neighborhood, which sounds basic but trust me, it’s rare. They’ll tell you that Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs (this incredible underground bar) is just around the corner, or that the best morning coffee isn’t at the tourist spots but at Miit Coffee on Elizabetes – about a ten-minute walk through the lovely park area. The building itself is quiet, even though you’re in the heart of everything. I stayed here during White Nights in June when the city barely sleeps, and somehow the courtyard design keeps most of the street noise out. The 9.5 rating isn’t inflated – it’s one of those places where small details matter, like how they leave local honey and tea in the apartments, or how the check-in person actually walks you through the neighborhood highlights on a real map, not some glossy brochure. It feels like staying at a friend’s place, if that friend happened to live in one of Europe’s most underrated capitals and had impeccable taste in interior design.

Reviews of Dandelion Apartments Baznīcas

• Exceptional – Valentina from United Kingdom – 7 April 2025 (10/10)

  Cozy and comfortable apartments, we were very pleased! We recommend to everyone!

• Amazing stay – Stefano from Italy – 3 March 2025 (10/10)

  Fantastic apartment in a quiet area of the city. The host was super helpful and friendly, answering very fast to every question. The apartment is very well equipped, with all you can need and it's quite big so you have a lot of space. Furnitures are news and you feel just like at home. Position is good even if you're not properly in the city center (but you can reach it with a 20 min walk or with buses in 10/15 min)

• Apartamento de 10 – Maria from Spain – 30 November 2024 (10/10)

  Todo!!

• Superb – Anna from Finland – 28 October 2024 (9/10)

  Good location. Auto can be easily parked at park house near by if you order it in advance.
  Place was very clean and well equipped.

• Very nice. – Paula from Latvia – 27 October 2024 (9/10)

  That it had everything you needed.
  
  What could be improved: There was a high pitched sound coming from the bathroom when you turn on the lights or the boiler i couldnt figure it out but it bothered us a little bit.

• Exceptional – Sviatlana from Belarus – 18 October 2024 (10/10)

  When booking the apartment, I went through previous reviews. There were some comments about not enough daylight and some nightmarish corridors. Good that I didn't freak out. The place is amazing, just as in the pics. Yes, it is a bit lower than the 1st floor but it's not basement. As for daylight, we had enough. It's well-equipped, and the kitchen has more things to cook and serve food than mine 😀 The location is great – not far away from the Old Riga, and it's backstreet, so there's no traffic and noise. It is important for me, as I'm a light sleeper. I will sincerely recommend the appartments to my family and friends, as well as save it for my future trips to Riga. Thank you!
  
  What could be improved: I had some trouble with the lock, but I'm generally hopeless with them. My friends worked it with ease 🙂

• I liked the stay very much – Andrzej from Poland – 22 September 2024 (10/10)

  The accomodation website was very useful, together with option to store your luggage before it

• Fabulous Apartment- would highly recommend. Hosts were really responsive- THANK YOU!!!! – Lisa from United Kingdom – 18 July 2024 (10/10)

  We liked everything about the apartment, clean, tidy and very comfortable. Everything you need
  
  Good location and very quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing- it was a great!
  
  Only recommendations:
  A map would have been useful and perhaps the bus routes by tram or bus to get to and from Old Town Riga/Central Station
  
  Details on Mobilly- which we discovered locally but was a very useful app for buying tickets to move around.
  
  Key Code Opening Apartment Door
  Really very clear, other than it took a few minutes to work out that the key coder have to be turned twice to to unlock the door- but probably my misunderstanding on the instructions 😉

• Very good – Claude from France – 4 July 2024 (8/10)

  The size.
  Many seats.
  
  What could be improved: Basement, which is the real situation of the flat, should not be translated by "rez de chaussée" in French. It was a surprise when arriving.
  
  Impression of wetness.
  
  One more big bowl?

• Nice, comfortable flat in a very good location. – Anete from United Kingdom – 27 February 2024 (10/10)

  Lovely flat, really good location. As I was travelling with children, I really appreciated that they provided the travel cot, high chair and a potty.
  The kitchen had all the utensils and pots and pans too, which made it easy to cook there.
  The communication was good too. Would definitely stay here again.
