Frendly Flat Free Parking Kitchen Equipment Cosy Overview

Frendly Flat Free Parking Kitchen Equipment Cosy tucked into the 67 Čiekurkalna 2. līnija block feels like a secret hideaway you stumble upon when you’re wandering around the riverbank in Riga. I remember the first time I walked in – the hallway was surprisingly warm, with a faint scent of freshly brewed coffee that wasn’t coming from the coffee shop down the block but from a little kitchenette in the lobby. The staff greeted me with a grin that said, “You’re in the right place, buddy,” and handed me a key that looked more like a vintage coin than a hotel card. They set me up with a quick check‑in; no long forms or endless waiting, just a friendly chat and a map of the city with a few insider tips scribbled in the corner.

Once I stepped into my room, the real charm unfolded. The place is a 3‑star flat‑style accommodation, but it feels like a cozy apartment you’d find in the old part of town. The kitchen is equipped with a full set of utensils, a mini‑fridge, and a coffee machine that actually makes decent espresso – something you don’t expect from a budget hotel. I set up a quick breakfast, and the smell of toast and bacon filled the space, blending with the faint hum of the city beyond the window. The bed was a bit firm, but the linens were silky smooth, and there was a small balcony that offered a view of the street where a street performer was rehearsing a sax solo. The noise level was moderate – not a library, not a nightclub – just the everyday rhythm of a city that never really sleeps.

The location is a bit off the beaten tourist path, but that’s part of the appeal. The address is on Čiekurkalna, just a stone’s throw from the river and a couple of stops away from the Old Town square. The nearest bus stop is on Brīvības iela, so you’re never more than a five‑minute walk to the city center. Parking is free, which is a rare find in Riga, and I parked my scooter right outside the front door without having to hunt for a spot. The neighborhood has a few cafés and a small market where locals shop for fresh produce – I grabbed a rye bread loaf and some smoked fish for a picnic by the river. The only downside was that the air conditioning was a bit weak in the summer, so I had to keep the curtains closed and use a fan. Still, the overall vibe was relaxing and home‑like, which is exactly what you need after a long day of sightseeing. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that feels more like a home than a hotel, and you want a spot that’s quiet enough to read a book but close enough to feel the pulse of Riga, this flat really checks all the boxes.
