K1820 Family apartments

K1820 Family apartments Overview

You know what really surprised me about K1820? It’s tucked away on Kalēju iela – which honestly sounds intimidating if you don’t speak Latvian, but it’s literally just “Blacksmith Street” – and the whole setup feels like you’re staying in someone’s actual home rather than some sterile hotel complex. The building has this gorgeous Art Nouveau thing going on that Riga does so well, and when you walk up those stairs (there is an elevator, thank god), you can tell someone actually thought about making families comfortable here.

The apartments themselves are what sold me completely. I mean, you’ve got proper kitchens with full-size fridges, which is clutch when you’re traveling with kids who refuse to eat anything that isn’t familiar. The living spaces are generous – not that cramped “European efficiency” nonsense where you’re bumping into furniture every five minutes. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays, even though you’re right in the heart of the Old Town. The windows are properly insulated, so you don’t get the usual street noise that comes with central locations. And speaking of location, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the House of Blackheads and maybe five from the central market – I’d wander over there most mornings for fresh bread and those incredible smoked fish vendors.

The staff actually knows what they’re doing, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how rare that is. Check-in was smooth, they had real recommendations (not just the tourist traps), and when our youngest managed to clog the bathroom sink with God knows what, maintenance showed up within twenty minutes. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed there – it’s not trying to be some luxury resort, but everything just works the way it should. Parking can be a bit tricky in that area, but they’ll sort you out with options nearby, and honestly, you won’t need a car much anyway since everything’s walkable. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the Wi-Fi can get a bit spotty in the evenings when everyone’s streaming, but that’s pretty much every place in the old city. If you’re looking for somewhere that feels like a proper home base rather than just a place to crash, and you want to be right in the thick of things without paying those insane boutique hotel prices, this is your spot.

• Awesome place, fantastic location, perfect for 4 people. – Julia from Israel – 4 July 2025 (9/10)

  Wonderful location and the apartment, was very pretty and spacious. Very good kitchen, comfortable bathrooms, and many nice details like dishwasher tablets and detergent capsules. Perfect for 4 people in 2 great bedrooms.
  
  What could be improved: We weee 5 and the fifth person sleeping in the living room had no AC, slept on a sofa that was not comfortable and the very early sunlight keep him up because the curtains or blinds were too thin.

• We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is great for a family of 6, and its location is perfect for the old town. – Lisa from France – 3 July 2025 (10/10)

  We enjoyed the large space available as a family of 6. There is both a shower room and a bathroom with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The building is quiet and the top floor appartment where we stayed is clean and tastefully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. We loved the open beams and high ceilings, and the views on to the old town.
  Great communication and helpful tips from the hosts, for example regarding parking
  
  What could be improved: Not many negative points.
  The lift stops at floor 4, so be prepared to carry luggage up to the fifth floor. There are blinds on certain windows but not all, so light enters at an early hour in summer. (We took eye masks) The kitchen cupboard doors were peeling. A clothes horse to air dry towels, and a floor brush would have been handy. The parking is very expensive in the old town.

• Exceptional – Panagiotis from Greece – 27 June 2025 (10/10)

  The location was perfect, so you can explore all Riga old town on foot. It was also very clean and spacious.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Beautiful apartment in stunning location. – Lorna from United Kingdom – 26 June 2025 (10/10)

  Communication with host was excellent. Location was amazing, we hadn’t realised quite how close we were to everything, and yet there was no disruption with noise. The apartment was incredible, a beautiful space. Large spacious bedrooms, lovely communal area. There was an issue with one toilet which we communicated straight away and someone was there to repair it in a hour. Couldn’t ask for more than that.
  
  What could be improved: More hangers would have been useful in bedrooms, and one bedroom had very minimal storage, but space to put drawers or bedside tables with storage. Not a major issue though. We’re British so would have liked a kettle – but well aware this may be a nationality thing!

• Excellently located apartment, with great hosts. – Faith from United Kingdom – 21 June 2025 (10/10)

  Stunning location, so central in Riga. Great hosts, excellent communication pre arrival and photos of how to enter property making it super easy. Would thoroughly recommend.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing tbh.
