Just Renovated Stories Apartment Free parking Overview

Just Renovated Stories Apartment Free parking sits on Ernesta Birznieka‑Upīša iela, just a stone’s throw from the bustling heart of Riga. I remember walking up that cobblestone street, the scent of fresh coffee from the tiny café on Rīgas Street drifting past, and thinking, “This is the spot.” The building’s new façade is modern without being flashy, and the lobby is surprisingly spacious for a 3‑star place—it feels more like a private boutique than a chain hotel. Check‑in was a breeze: a self‑serve kiosk with a friendly QR code that you scan, and bam, your keycard is on the counter. The staff at the front desk were quick to point out the free parking garage below the building, which is a lifesaver if you’re driving into the city—no hidden fees, no long lines.

Inside the apartment, the décor feels like a storybook that’s been updated for the 21st century. The living area is cozy with a plush sofa that invites you to sink in after a day of biking along the Lielupe River or strolling through the Old Town. The double‑bed is surprisingly comfortable—firm but not hard—and the linens are crisp, so you actually sleep better than you’d expect in a city hotel. The kitchenette is functional, with a small fridge, a kettle, and a coffee machine that brews a decent Americano (you’ll thank yourself later). I noticed a small, old-fashioned radio in the corner, which is a sweet nod to Latvia’s past. The bathroom is clean, with a rain shower that feels like a spa visit—just the right amount of water pressure to wash away the city grit.

Noise-wise, the apartment is nicely insulated. You can hear the distant hum of traffic on the street, but inside it’s quiet enough to read a book or watch a movie without being interrupted. The only real noise comes from the building’s elevator, which is a bit of a clatter, but that’s what you expect from a place with a couple of floors. If you’re traveling in the summer, the courtyard is a hidden oasis—there’s a small patch of greenery and a couple of benches, perfect for a quick sun‑bath or a nightcap. The local market on the corner of Ķīna Street is just a ten‑minute walk, so you can pick up fresh produce for breakfast without heading to the city center. Honestly, the real charm is in the little details: the handwritten welcome note, the local guidebook tucked next to the Wi‑Fi router, and that faint scent of pine from the hallway—something I swear I can’t find in any boutique hotel.

Overall, it’s a solid 3‑star experience that feels like a home away from home. The 9‑point rating is not just a number; it reflects the genuine care put into every corner of the property. You’ll find the free parking handy, the apartment cozy, and the staff friendly enough to make you feel like a regular. If you’re looking for something that’s not too touristy but still close to the action, this place is a real winner. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to recommend to friends and maybe even plan a return visit—especially when the city’s autumn colors start to paint the streets.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Riga at least two months ahead for major events like opera festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.

Reviews of Just Renovated Stories Apartment Free parking

  • Superb – Pavels from Greece – 9 July 2025 (9/10)

    Very clean, just renovated, all comfortable apartment, it has everything you need, very quiet in nights, not like majority of others in Riga. Closed yard with parking.

    What could be improved: The entrance and stairs are very old and not renovated, no elevator, it would be good to have small saucepan.

  • Exceptional – Narges from Finland – 15 June 2025 (10/10)

    It was nice and clean

    What could be improved: Every thing was perfect

  • Exceptional – Krzysztof from Poland – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

    Almost everything 😉

    What could be improved: No curtains in the bathroom.

  • Jó ár-érték arányú, kiváló szállás – Ágoston from Hungary – 30 June 2025 (9/10)

    Viszonlag közel a belvároshoz, jó elhelyezkedésű, tágas, jól felszerelt, tiszta lakás. Megfelelő, zárt parkoló.

    What could be improved: Nem volt ilyen.

  • Super séjour super appartement! – Valérie from France – 23 June 2025 (9/10)

    L’appartement porte très bien son nom :just renovated! Tout est neuf, de super bonne qualité, literie excellente, cuisine équipée ( lave vaisselle et lave linge.) . L’appartement est très calme et bien situé environ 15min à pied de la vieille ville, 8min d’un supermarché et si besoin 10 min de la gare.

    What could be improved: Éventuellement mettre une petit rideau ou juste un autocollant cache vue pour la fenêtre de la salle de bain : aucun immeuble en vis-à-vis mais très souvent des personnes promènent leur chien dans le terrain en face .

  • Exceptional – Ligucis from Latvia – 1 June 2025 (10/10)

    Viss bija tīrs un kārtīgs, laba lokācijas vieta. Bija ļoti jauki un patīkami uzturēties.

  • Suurepärane peatuspaik reisil. – Maili from Estonia – 19 May 2025 (10/10)

    Väga selged juhised omaniku poolt. Korter vastas igati meie soovidele ja vajadustele. Asukoht ideaalne. Korter puhas ja väga korralik. Korteri omanik sõbralik.

    What could be improved: Midagi negatiivset ei ole.

  • Exceptional – Andrzej from Poland – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

    Wygodne, czyste, przestronne mieszkanie. Świetna lokalizacja. Wszystko w zasięgu przyjemnego spaceru.
    Uczynna i kompetentna obsługa.

    What could be improved: Klatki schodowe i korytarz mogłyby być czystsze.

  • Laba nakšņošanas vieta 4 cilvēkiem, ja svarīga ir dzīvokļa lokācija, piekāpjoties ērtībām. – Ilze from Latvia – 10 May 2025 (8/10)

    Atrašanās vieta ļoti laba. Centrs, Vecrīga sasniedzama ar kājām 10-15 min.
    Ļoti atsaucīga viesu uzņēmēja. Ar visu centās palīdzēt. Tīras telpas.

    What could be improved: Ļoti šauras gultas – 1,4 m, kas nav ērti gulēšanai diviem pieaugušajiem. Matracis nebija īsti labas kvalitātes.
    Numuriņā nebija ne tējas piedāvājuma, ne kafijas, kas parasti ir standarts.
    Nav ērta un pārdomāta atpūtas vieta, kur viesi varētu apsēsties un pavadīt vakaru. Telpas tīras un jaunas, bet noteikti nederēs tiem, kas meklē ērtības vai mājīgumu.
