DECO APARTMENT

DECO APARTMENT Overview

DECO APARTMENT sits on Brīvības iela, just a stone’s throw from the cobblestone lanes of Old Town. I remember stepping out of the building and hearing the hum of trams and the distant clink of coffee cups from a café that’s been a staple for locals ever since the city was still a Soviet satellite. The street smells faintly of baked rye bread from the bakery across the square – that old-world scent that instantly says, “you’re home.” The check‑in was surprisingly smooth; the front desk guy was a former tour guide, so he threw in a map of the best hidden cafés and a quick rundown of the tram schedule. Honestly, no one ever asks for a simple key card – they’ll guide you through the whole process like they’re giving you a passport to Riga.

The rooms are a mix of classic Latvian charm and modern convenience. I mean, the décor is simple but tasteful – muted colors, a wooden desk that feels like an extension of the floor, and the view from the window looks out onto the river, especially when the morning light hits the water. The only downside? The Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty on the third floor, so if you’re a digital nomad, you might want to plan a backup. There’s a small parking lot just behind the building, but it’s really tight and usually fills up by 10 a.m. if you’re arriving in the morning rush. The noise level is spot on for a city hotel – daytime buzz of traffic, but at night it’s kind of serene unless you’re right next to the tram line. If you’re into walking, the main square is a ten‑minute stroll, and the old city walls provide a cool backdrop for a sunset photo.

When I stayed here during the summer festival, the whole area buzzed with locals dancing to folk music in the squares. The real charm is how close you feel to the everyday life of Riga. After a long day of exploring, I’d head back to the apartment, take a quick shower, and then wander to a nearby pub on Pārdaugava – the one with the wooden bar that’s always full of stories. The only critique I’d have is that the bathroom tiles in the older rooms still have that old paint smell, but that’s a minor quibble. The best time to visit is late spring or early autumn; the city is lively but not overcrowded, and the air has that crisp, clean feel that makes walking a pleasure. All in all, DECO APARTMENT feels like a local’s home that you’re invited to stay in, and I’d tell any friend that wants to experience Riga beyond the tourist map that this place knows the city’s heartbeat.

Apartments in Riga provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Latvian markets and cook with fresh Baltic specialties.

• Highly recommended for business and holiday trips. – Ene from Estonia – 30 January 2023 (10/10)

  We really enjoyed the property. It was recently renovated with great style. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchen is well equipped; there are resting and work areas, making the property suitable for both business and holiday travellers. The surroundings are splendid – a delightful and rare Jugend-style environment. A shopping centre right next to it, not to mention many excellent places to eat and drink.
  
  What could be improved: The gate worked a little poorly, you had to use a lot of force.
