Just Renovated Stories Apartment Free parking

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Just Renovated Stories Apartment Free parking,” I thought it was some weird translation quirk. But you know what? It’s actually pretty accurate. This place on Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša iela really does feel like someone took an old Riga apartment and gave it a proper makeover, and yes, there’s actually free parking (which, if you’ve ever tried to park in central Riga, you’ll know is basically like finding gold).

The location is sort of perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. You’re right in the heart of things – I mean, you can walk to Old Town in about fifteen minutes, but you’re tucked away on this quieter residential street where you’ll hear actual Latvians going about their daily business instead of just tour groups. The building itself has that solid Soviet-era feel, but inside the apartment, everything’s been done up nicely. Fresh paint, decent furniture, a kitchen that actually works – none of that “charming” European plumbing that makes you question your life choices. The renovation is recent enough that you can still smell just a hint of new paint, but in a good way, not in a “should I be breathing this” way.

What really surprised me was how quiet it gets at night. Even though you’re on a main street, the windows are good quality and the neighborhood settles down after dinner. I stayed there during late spring when the days were getting longer – you know how it is in the Baltics, suddenly it’s light until nearly 10 PM – and I loved sitting by the window with a cup of coffee, watching people head home from work. The apartment gets great natural light during the day, which makes it feel bigger than it probably is. And honestly, having that parking spot right there… I can’t stress enough how much of a game-changer that is. I watched other tourists circling the block for twenty minutes looking for a spot while I was already upstairs unpacking.

The only minor thing – and this is really minor – is that the shower pressure could be a bit stronger, but honestly, after a day of walking around Riga’s cobblestone streets, you’re just happy to have hot water that doesn’t run out after five minutes. The Wi-Fi is solid, the heating works properly (crucial if you’re visiting in winter, trust me), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living in a shoebox. For what you’re paying, especially with that 9.3 rating from other guests, it’s genuinely good value. Plus, there’s a decent grocery store just a couple blocks away on Krasta iela, so you can actually use that kitchen if you want to save some money instead of eating out every meal.

Reviews

• 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.

• 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.
