Dandelion Apartments XIXc Cottage

Dandelion Apartments XIXc Cottage Overview

Dandelion Apartments XIXc Cottage sits right on Brīvības gatve, the main artery that cuts through the heart of Riga. I remember the first time I stepped out of the building, the city was buzzing with the clatter of trams and the distant hum of the old city’s cafés. It’s a stone’s throw from the Freedom Square and the Riga Central Market, so you can just hop over and grab a quick bite of smoked fish or a slice of rye bread while soaking in the historic vibe. The building itself is a charming mix of old timber framing and modern touches—like those subtle glass panels that let the morning light spill into the lobby. When I first checked in, the staff were friendly enough to show me the keycard without any fuss, and the desk was surprisingly spacious, so you don’t feel cramped like at some other city spots.

Inside, the apartment feels like a cozy home away from home. The living area is big enough to spread out a blanket and watch a movie, and the kitchenette comes with a coffee machine that actually brews a decent cup—no instant sachets here. The bed, though, is the real star; it’s a generous platform bed with a mattress that feels like a cloud. The bathroom is small but functional, and the tiles echo a subtle, clean scent that isn’t overpowering. Wi‑Fi is decent, but I’ve had it lag a couple of times after midnight, probably because the signal has to cut through the building’s thin walls. I mean, you’re in the city center, so the noise can be pretty lively—traffic, street performers, that sort of thing, but inside it’s surprisingly quiet unless you’re in the corner right next to the street. Parking is a bit of a hassle; there’s no dedicated spot, so you’ll have to hunt for street parking, which can be a bit of a scramble during peak hours, but it’s all part of the authentic Riga experience.

What really makes this place stick in your memory is the little touches that come from living in the neighborhood. I spotted a tiny, family‑run bakery two blocks away that serves the best pancakes in Riga—worth the 10‑minute walk. On weekends, you can catch the local farmers’ market on the square, and there’s a jazz bar in the alleyway that plays live on Thursday nights. The building’s location means you’re right next to a tram stop, so getting to the Old Town is a quick hop or a leisurely stroll if you’re in the mood to soak up the city’s charm. Honestly, I’d say Dandelion Apartments XIXc Cottage is a solid four‑star find for anyone who wants to stay in the thick of things without feeling like they’re in a tourist trap. The only real downside is that the minibar is a bit pricey, but that’s a small price to pay for the convenience and the vibe you get here. All in all, if you’re looking for a place that feels like a friend’s home in Riga, this is it—just bring your sense of adventure, and you’ll have a great story to tell.

Reviews of Dandelion Apartments XIXc Cottage

• This is a very spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with free parking – Julia from United States – 23 June 2025 (8/10)

  This is a very nice apartment and we enjoyed our stay there. It was very specious and clean. It is in a good location too. Free parking is big plus.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom door needs to be fixed. It is hard to close, and when you close other people can get awake from the noise.

• Excellent apartment, – Noru from United Kingdom – 6 December 2023 (10/10)

  Very spacious and super clean. Tram stop 2 min away and it takes 15 min to be in the city centre. petrol station open 24hrs next to the apartment serving hot food and drinks for a late night snack if necessary, theres a Rimi mini market 5 min walk away. We liked everything about the apartment. I would stay here again.

• Apartment 3 – Maria from Poland – 7 August 2023 (8/10)

  It’s spacious, 3 rooms, comfortable beds, fans and air conditioning covering all spaces. Though it’s on the last floor, it was not hot. Have in mind that you need to walk 2 floors by stairs, which was just fine for us but if you have any difficulty, you should consider it.
  Kitchen is comfortable and fully equipped.
  Only one bedroom has windows to look outside. The rest has all windows only on the ceiling.
  Public transport is just on the door, which is very convenient as the location is not close to the old town. Not many options to eat out close.
  Coming with the car, the big parking space was very convenient. However, getting it right to the entrance was a bit challenging.
  The washing machine in the bathroom is pretty new and convenient. Soap is provided (which is a detail to highlight, as it’s not usual).
  I made couple of questions during our stay, communication with the apartment managers was always good, quickly responded and clear.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom is big but the shower is small and water has low pressure. This could be much better.
  The apartment trembles when the tram, trucks or buses pass outside.

• Exceptional – Sergo from Estonia – 6 August 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was very good and nice. See you next time Riga

  What could be improved: A little bit of noise from nearby roads but it did not bother us
