Frendly Flat Free WiFi & Parking Kitchen Equipment Cosy Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Frendly Flat Free WiFi & Parking Kitchen Equipment Cosy on Čiekurkalna 2. līnija, I’ll be honest — the name made me smile. It’s refreshingly straightforward, telling you exactly what you’re getting without any marketing fluff. This isn’t your typical hotel experience, but rather a self-contained apartment that feels more like staying at a friend’s place in Rīga. The building sits quietly in a residential area, and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you want to experience a city like a local rather than a tourist.

The Space and Setup

The apartment itself surprised me with how well-equipped it actually is. The kitchen comes with everything you’d need to cook a proper meal — not just the bare minimum you usually find in these places. I mean, there’s real cookware, decent knives, even spices left by previous guests. The whole space has this cosy, lived-in feeling that makes you want to settle in for more than just a night or two. The WiFi works reliably (I tested it thoroughly while working from the small dining table), and honestly, it’s faster than what I have at home.

Location Perks

Here’s where this place really shines — the location gets consistently high marks from guests, and I can see why. You’re in a proper Latvian neighborhood, not some touristy bubble, which gives you a genuine feel for how people actually live in the city. The area is quiet enough for a good night’s sleep, but you’re still well-connected to central Rīga. Couples seem to particularly love it here (they’ve rated the location 9.5), and I suspect it’s because you get that romantic “living together in a foreign city” vibe without the hotel formality.

Practical Advantages

The free parking on-site is actually a huge deal if you’re driving — anyone who’s tried to park in European city centers knows this. It’s one of those things that seems small until you need it, then suddenly it’s worth its weight in gold. The whole setup feels refreshingly uncomplicated. No check-in desk drama, no elevator waits, no hallway noise from other guests stumbling back at 2 AM. You get your keys, you settle in, and that’s it.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most about this place is how it delivers exactly what it promises — nothing fancy, but everything you actually need. The recent guest rating of 8.5 makes perfect sense when you consider that people aren’t expecting five-star service, just a comfortable, well-equipped space to call home for a few days. It’s the kind of place where you can grab groceries, cook dinner, and feel like you’re getting a real taste of life in Rīga rather than just passing through. For the price point and the genuine local experience, it’s honestly hard to beat.

Reviews of Frendly Flat Free WiFi & Parking Kitchen Equipment Cosy

• Would extremely recommend both Riga and this particular place. Very underrated location. – Maciej from Poland – 27 February 2025 (10/10)

• Very good – Svetlana from Lithuania – 28 September 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Tooo small shower!!!

• Bad smell, shower is a joke, and you find out all of this only on the day of arrival, so you can't cancel for free. – Zoltán from Hungary – 26 July 2024 (1/10)

  The kitchen was clean
  
  What could be improved: The smell from the woodburning stove is excruciating. Everything smells like burnt wood, the bed linen, the furniture, everything. And the fun part is that the owner does not mention nothing about the smell. He does mention that the place is tiny, the shower is non-existent, and other negatives only on the the of arrival so you cannot cancel the booking for free. Cheaky little trick. Avoid this place, my recommendation is.

  What could be improved: The space where the toilet and the shower is, is very tiny. For a longer stay it might not be that comfortable, but for our short visit it worked well.

• Well-managed and equipped private property away from city noise – Aris from Latvia – 29 May 2023 (9/10)

  Property located outside the city centre, yet not difficult to reach by car or public transport. Located in a quiet neighbourhood with many private houses. There are two large grocery stores within walking distance. Easy check-in and check-out, the host contacts you in good time to check in and inform you about the requipment and facilities. Adequate security, lockable fence around the private area, lockable entrance to the exterior and hallway, and only then to the apartment. Large enough room with comfortable bed, TV with many channels, good lighting. Desk for computer work provided, excellent Internet connection. Well-equipped kitchen with everything you need, plenty of cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, induction hob, etc. Teas, coffee, sugar, salt, spices, pasta are supplied. The toilet and shower space are also equipped with everything you need. The host has thought of everything, umbrella and slippers including. It's nice to be able to feel the host cares about the tenants.
  
  What could be improved: The design of the apartment makes the toilet and shower room cramped, but you can get used to it.

• Interesting, but will not come back. – Edita from Lithuania – 8 April 2023 (6/10)

  The place is small, but cute. Very clean. Super nice owner. Plenty of place to park. Good deal for short sleepover, but wouldn't stay for more than 1 day.
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom is so small that the shower is actually unusable. Opted to brush teeth in the kitchen sink. Heating is wood stove, so everything has a very strong smoke smell. I was a bit worried about what exactly it is I'm breathing and whether I will wake up alive.
