EDEN APARTMENT

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Eden Apartment? The location is absolutely perfect – right on Brīvības iela, which honestly feels like the heartbeat of Riga. I mean, you’re literally walking distance from everything that matters in the Old Town, but you’re not stuck in some cramped medieval alley dealing with tourist crowds at 6 AM. It’s that sweet spot where locals actually live and work.

The building itself has this really nice blend of old Riga character with modern touches that actually work (trust me, I’ve stayed in places where they tried this and failed miserably). The apartment I stayed in was genuinely spacious – not that “European spacious” where you can barely open your suitcase, but actually roomy enough to spread out and feel human. The kitchen was properly equipped too, which saved me a fortune since eating out for every meal in Riga’s city center adds up fast. I found myself making coffee in the morning while watching people head to work down Brīvības – there’s something really satisfying about that rhythm of city life happening right outside your window.

What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night, despite being on such a busy street. The windows must be decent quality because I barely heard the trams, and believe me, Riga’s trams are not subtle. The whole check-in process was smooth too – none of that awkward “meet me at this random corner with a red umbrella” nonsense you sometimes get with apartment rentals. They clearly know what they’re doing here. The building feels secure (there’s proper entry systems), and I never felt like I was imposing on residential neighbors, which can be weird with some apartment stays.

Walking to the Central Market takes maybe 10 minutes, the Freedom Monument is right there, and you can easily stroll to those gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings on Alberta iela when you want to play tourist. But honestly, the best part might be the little neighborhood spots you discover just by being here – there’s this excellent coffee place about three blocks away that locals actually use, and a small grocery store that stays open later than you’d expect. That 9.6 rating makes total sense to me now; it’s one of those places where everything just works the way it should, without any drama or surprises. If you’re planning to spend more than a night or two in Riga and want to feel like you’re actually living there instead of just passing through, this is exactly the kind of place you want.

Reviews

• perfect stay, nice apartment – Tatiana from Belarus – 31 January 2025 (10/10)

  I like everything! Really superb location – supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops and Galleria Riga just few minutes away. Ilze help to find an apartment, explain everything and leave a key. It is just 25 min walk from Arena Riga which appeared to be really convinient after Andrea Bocelli concert. Because of the traffic it was impossible to take a taxi.
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• Modern villa in a great location to walk into the old town! – Sarah from United Kingdom – 8 May 2023 (10/10)

  Very modern and well equipped. Lovely 10 minute walk into the old down down a gorgeous road. Looks exactly like the photos.

• Exceptional – Ilias from Greece – 12 December 2022 (10/10)

  Great location, great design, great wifi, smart tv

• Excellent accomodation, highly recommended it.Outstanding . – Frank from United Kingdom – 14 September 2022 (10/10)

  Excellent location and apartment was first class.

• Everything was so good that we dared to recommend the apartment to our friends. – An_to from Estonia – 8 September 2022 (9/10)

  – Communication with the host was/is operative and objective.
  – The apartment is large, well equipped, relatively quiet (one evening we heard the neighbors bit partying), well located, clean, ….
  – Good and cheap (3€ per day + 3€ per night) parking is right opposite the entrance gate across the road – Europark, zone DB, Brivibas iela 44.
  – The Galleria Riga department store (including the Rimi grocery store) is located in the same building complex as the apartment.
  – There are many good places to eat nearbye, including sea inspired cafe Zivju Lete or the mediterranean restaurant Riviera. However, the best experience for us is and remains The three chefs restaurant (3 pavāru restorāns) in the old town.
  
  What could be improved: Maybe problematic for some (older) people …. We managed! 🙂
  – There are 3 different codes (gate, stairwell, apartment key) for contactless entry.
  – If there are a lot of things like we had (including 2 electric scooters :lol), then carrying all the stuff to the 3rd floor is quite challenging -no elevator.
  – We missed a stove with an oven or microwave (and shoe spoon or we just couldn't find it ;)).

• Amazing – Kristaps from Latvia – 6 August 2022 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect.

• Superb – Hanna-liis from Estonia – 19 July 2022 (9/10)
