GREEN Apartment

GREEN Apartment Overview

When I first stepped into the GREEN Apartment on Akmeņu iela, I was struck by how the building blends industrial chic with old‑world charm—think exposed brick, reclaimed wooden beams, and those quirky green plants that practically scream “eco‑vibe.” The lobby is small but cozy, with a hand‑painted mural of Riga’s skyline that I swear I’ve seen in a coffee shop mural in the city center. The staff were super friendly, and the check‑in was a breeze: a quick tap on a tablet, a key card, and a friendly “welcome to Riga!” (I mean, who doesn’t love that kind of personal touch?).

Inside, the apartment feels like a home away from home. The living area is spacious enough to stretch out on a Sunday, with a comfy sofa that invites you to binge‑watch your favorite series. The kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped—there’s a French‑style stove, a coffee machine that actually brews good coffee (I made it for my first cup of the day), and a small table that’s perfect for a quick bite. Honestly, the real gem is the balcony: a tiny patch of green that overlooks the quiet street, where you can hear the distant hum of traffic and the occasional laughter from a nearby café. The room’s noise level is decent; it’s not a hotel, so I occasionally hear the city’s nightlife, but it’s muted enough to fall asleep after a long day of exploring. If you’re a light sleeper, just bring earplugs, or sleep with the window slightly ajar to enjoy the breeze.

The location is a win‑win. You’re only a five‑minute walk from the Old Town, where the House of Blackheads and the Riga Cathedral sit in a stone‑packed square that feels like a living postcard. Just across the street, you’ll find the Central Market—locals swear by the rye bread and the fresh fish stalls that open early in the morning. Parking is a bit of a hassle if you’re driving: there’s no dedicated hotel parking, but you can snag a spot on the street a block away, just be prepared to pay a small fee. The area’s public transport is solid, with the main bus terminal only a short walk away, so getting around is a piece of cake. I noted that in the summer, the street can get pretty busy, especially near the market, but in early evenings or late nights, it turns into a quiet haven where you can sip a glass of local beer and people‑watch. If you’re traveling during peak holiday season, expect a few extra noise levels from nearby bars, but that’s the charm of staying in the heart of the city.

All in all, the GREEN Apartment offers a laid‑back, authentic Riga experience without the fluff of a typical hotel. It’s perfect for travelers who want to be in the thick of the city, enjoy a touch of local culture, and still have a comfy spot to unwind. The only real critique is the parking situation, but that’s a minor trade‑off for being so close to everything. If you’re looking to soak up the city’s vibe, taste the local food, and just relax in a space that feels like home, this place is a solid choice. You know what? I can’t wait to go back and explore the neighborhood further, maybe try a new café on Meža iela or catch a live jazz gig at a small venue nearby. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with stories to share and a desire to come back.

Reviews of GREEN Apartment

• Superb – Andris from Latvia – 12 May 2025 (9/10)

  Small but very cozy and sweet apartment, everything needed provided.
  
  What could be improved: I wouldn't recommend this place for tall people, the ceiling between the room and the kitchen is very low and even dangerous if you are taller than about 180 m. I am 177 and wanted always to duck down when passed it.
