Kungu Street Old Riga Appartment

Kungu Street Old Riga Appartment Overview

Kungu Street Old Riga Appartment sits tucked between the bustling cafés of 25 Kungu iela and the quiet lanes that wind past the old city walls. I first spotted it on a brisk autumn morning when the mist was still hugging the cobblestones, and the building’s weathered brick seemed to whisper stories of Riga’s past. The street itself is a mix of old stone and modern life—there’s that little bakery on the corner that sells rye bread so fresh you can taste the sun on it, and a handful of bookshops that feel like secret hideaways. I remember walking past a street mural that captures Riga’s jazz heritage, and just a few blocks over there’s a tiny park where locals gather for morning yoga. It’s all so authentic, like you’re stepping into a living postcard.

When I checked in, the front desk staff greeted me with a warm, almost conspiratorial nod—like they already knew I’d be surprised by how cozy this place feels. The key was a simple card, but the check‑in process was surprisingly quick; they handed me a map of the neighborhood and a list of the best spots to grab a coffee, which I found incredibly helpful. The apartment itself is a charming blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. The living room has that classic wooden floor, rough underfoot but surprisingly smooth to walk on, and a flat‑screen TV that’s surprisingly quiet—no annoying background noise from the street. The bedroom is surprisingly spacious, with a bed that’s just as comfortable as the one in a 5‑star hotel, but with that tiny touch of local flair: a hand‑woven rug in the corner that smells faintly of pine from the nearby forest.

Noise-wise, it’s a mixed bag. During the day, the street hums with the clatter of bicycles and the occasional shout from a street vendor selling smoked fish—honestly, it’s so alive that you forget you’re in a hotel. At night, the building’s old walls keep most of the city’s chatter out, so you can hear the faint rustle of leaves outside and the occasional distant church bell. Parking is a bit of a gamble; there’s no dedicated spot, but a few municipal lots a block away are free if you’re willing to walk a few minutes. I found that the best time to explore the city center is early morning, before the cafés fill up—then you’re not stuck in traffic or under the throng of tourists. In the cooler evenings, the streetlights cast a soft glow that makes the whole area feel like a secret garden. All in all, staying at this place felt like being a part of Riga’s pulse—intimate, real, and just a little bit off the beaten track.

  The location is good, close to the old town and bus station. It has everything I need, with washing machine, kettle, refrigerator, some complementary. Smart TV can work with streaming like Netflix and YouTube, and we have pleasure time during our stay.
  
  What could be improved: There is only one small table in the room, and it is a little inconvenient to share by two people.
