Large 3BR Apartment with Balcony 5 min to Old Town by Tram Overview
First Impressions
When I first walked into Large 3BR Apartment with Balcony 5 min to Old Town by Tram, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what sounded like a pretty straightforward rental listing. But you know what? Sometimes the most unassuming places surprise you the most. This spacious three-bedroom apartment sits on Dzirnavu iela, and while the building itself looks pretty standard from the outside, step inside and you’ll find a genuinely comfortable space that feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying in typical tourist accommodation.
The Space Itself
The layout actually works really well — three proper bedrooms mean you’re not dealing with that awkward sofa bed situation if you’re traveling with family or friends. The living area opens up nicely, and that balcony they mention in the name? It’s not huge, but it’s perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. I mean, after walking around Rīga all day, having a quiet spot to decompress is worth its weight in gold. The kitchen comes fully equipped, which saved me a fortune on restaurant meals — though honestly, sometimes you just want to cook your own breakfast and eat it in your pajamas.
Getting Around
Here’s where this place really shines — that five-star tram ride to Old Town isn’t marketing fluff. The tram stop is literally around the corner, and you’ll be wandering the cobblestones of Vecrīga before you know it. I actually preferred this to staying right in the tourist center because you get a feel for how locals live, plus the neighborhood has some great little shops and cafes that most visitors never discover. The area feels safe walking around at night, and there’s decent parking if you’ve got a rental car, though honestly, you won’t need it much.
Local Neighborhood Feel
Dzirnavu iela sits in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to everything but far enough away from the tourist crowds. There’s a small grocery store about two blocks away, and I found this little bakery that does incredible rye bread — the kind of local gem you stumble across when you’re staying in residential areas rather than hotel districts. The street itself is pretty quiet, especially in the evenings, which made for great sleep after long days exploring the city.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t fancy accommodation, but it delivers exactly what it promises. The 10-star rating from previous guests makes total sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s clean, spacious, well-located, and priced fairly. Couples seem to particularly appreciate having all this space to spread out, and I can see why. You’re getting genuine value here, plus that rare feeling of actually living in the city rather than just visiting it. If you want authentic Rīga without the tourist markup, this place hits the mark perfectly.

Reviews of Large 3BR Apartment with Balcony 5 min to Old Town by Tram
Exceptional – Liblik from Estonia – 20 May 2025 (10/10)
What could be improved: The front door is creaky as hell, very difficult to enter/exit unnoticed. Otherwise everything was nice.
