Lacplesa Downtown New 2-bedroom Apartment

Lacplesa Downtown New 2-bedroom Apartment Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? It’s actually quiet. I mean, you’re literally on Lāčplēša iela – which is basically one of those streets where everything happens in central Riga – but somehow the apartment sits back just enough that you’re not dealing with tram noise all night. The building itself is one of those turn-of-the-century Riga gems that’s been properly renovated, so you get the high ceilings and original hardwood floors without the drafty windows and questionable plumbing.

The two-bedroom setup works really well if you’re traveling with friends or family. I stayed here with my sister last spring, and honestly, having that extra space made all the difference after spending days wandering around the Old Town. The kitchen is small but functional – I mean, you can actually cook a decent meal if you want to save some euros instead of eating out every night. The owner clearly put thought into the details; there’s decent WiFi (which matters if you’re working remotely), proper blackout curtains, and the shower pressure is surprisingly good. What I really appreciated was the washing machine – after a week of traveling around the Baltics, being able to do laundry was a game-changer.

Location-wise, you’re about a ten-minute walk to the Old Town, which is perfect because you can stumble home after trying all those craft beer places on Gertrūdes iela without paying for a taxi. The neighborhood has this great mix of locals and visitors – there’s a solid grocery store (Rimi) literally around the corner, and you’ll find yourself walking past the same coffee shop every morning where the baristas actually remember your order. I’d say the area gets busier during summer evenings, especially on weekends, but it’s more of a pleasant buzz than anything disruptive. The 8.8 rating makes sense to me – it’s not fancy enough to be a boutique hotel experience, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. If you’re looking for something that feels more like staying in a local’s apartment than a tourist accommodation, this spot gets it right.

Reviews of Lacplesa Downtown New 2-bedroom Apartment

• Good – Przemysław from Poland – 2 August 2023 (7/10)

  Close to the city centre. Lots of restaurants nearby. Quite and calm.
  
  What could be improved: Information about parking isn’t clear. Apartment doesn’t have own parking. There is option to park on the street or in nearby EuroPark (9 eur per day and 2 eur per night)

• Pleasant – Ruta from Lithuania – 30 August 2023 (6/10)

  What could be improved: very uncomfortable bed with a squeaky spring mattress. very bad smell in the shower

• The apartment meets the basic needs, but is not special because it is furnished very sparingly. – David from United States – 2 August 2023 (7/10)

  Building location, security and entry were excellent and the host was very helpful with payment and getting keys. The WIFI and internet worked well.
  
  What could be improved: It didn't have a coffee maker, toaster and dishwasher, all of which we would have used if they had been there. The shower doesn't drain properly and the towels are pretty used and faded. Overall, the apartment has the basics, but nothing more.

• Heel erg goed. – A from Netherlands – 1 May 2023 (8/10)

  Mooi gebouw, goede locatie, 2 slaapkamers, ruim opgezet, Reggea bar beneden (leuke gasten 0 procent overlast), goed ontbijt tentje aan de overkant, heel goed italiaans restaurant om de hoek, bushalte om de hoek. House of Blues 10 minuten lopen. Radisson Skybar 10 nog geen 10 minuten lopen.
  
  What could be improved: Riga is niet aan te bevelen voor mensen die niet goed ter been zijn vanwege de cobblestones. Het is 20 minuten lopen naar het oude centrum vanaf de locatie. De ''woonkamer'' in de accomodatie kan wat gezelliger. Pas op welke taxi je neemt van het vliegveld naar de accomodatie. Betaal niet meer dan 20 eur!!!!
