Library house apartment quiet&compact 2 rooms&beds Overview

You know what? I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place called “Library house apartment” – it sounds almost too quirky to be real – but honestly, this little gem on Krišjāņa Barona completely won me over. The address puts you right in the heart of Riga’s cultural district, and I mean literally a two-minute walk from the National Opera House. You can actually hear the orchestra warming up some evenings if you crack the window, which is either charming or annoying depending on your relationship with Puccini at 7 PM.

The “compact” part isn’t false advertising – this is definitely cozy rather than sprawling, but whoever designed it actually thought about how people live. The two rooms are laid out smart, with proper blackout curtains (thank god, because those white nights in summer are no joke), and the beds are surprisingly comfortable for what I’m guessing is IKEA furniture. There’s this whole literary theme going on that could’ve been cheesy but actually works – think vintage books as décor rather than fake library wallpaper. The kitchen area is small but functional, and here’s something practical: there’s a proper grocery store (Rimi) literally around the corner on Elizabetes iela, so you’re not stuck hunting for breakfast at tourist prices.

What really sold me on this place was the quiet factor. Krišjāņa Barona can get busy during the day – it’s a main street after all – but the apartment faces inward, so you’re not dealing with tram noise or the late-night bar crowd stumbling home. I mean, you’re still in central Riga, so it’s not countryside silent, but you can actually sleep with the windows open in summer. The building itself has that solid, pre-war feel where the walls are thick enough that you won’t hear your neighbors’ every conversation. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that “meet me at this random café with a red umbrella” nonsense you sometimes get with apartment rentals. The 9.1 rating honestly makes sense when you factor in the location, the attention to detail, and the fact that it just works without any drama. If you’re the type who wants to feel like you’re living in Riga rather than just visiting, and you don’t need a concierge or room service, this is your spot.

• Great apartment for a great price. – Ričards from Latvia – 20 February 2025 (9/10)

  The location is amazing and very easy to reach. Check in went very smoothly, and so did the check out process. The apartment was clean and tidy, and everything you could ever need for a stay was there. A good bonus was that the bathroom and powder room floors were heated.

• Exceptional – Marivick from Denmark – 16 February 2025 (10/10)

  I like everything in the Apartment especially the bed and the kitchen counter. everything is super clean and the Host Ugis is verry helpful. The location is perfect, close to everything. Verry quite. We love our stay.
  
  What could be improved: When we arrive we cannot come in thru the Main Gate. We have the code, but since some of the letters and numbers on the gate code are missing, we are just guesing, we press A instead of 0. luckily theres a guy who leave there come in and Show us. After that everything is Okay.

• Excellent living for 2-3 persons in central riga. – Niklas from Sweden – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

  Great location just outside the old town of riga. Close to the central station and a nearby park. Clean and well equiped apartment. Godd service from the host.
  
  What could be improved: No air condititioning. A little warm during warm sumerdays. Then you need to keep the windows open. Curtains could have a bettef black out effect. However just minor sideeffects.

• Exceptional – Mia from Finland – 17 July 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was exactly as described. Everything was tidy, the beds were comfortable and the location was great – there were nice buildings and beautiful parks, and it was very close to the old town. Considering how central it was, the apartment was very quiet.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen is not very well-equipped – there is everything you need to make and eat breakfast or cold lunch, but you can't really cook there, because there is only one hotplate.

• Exceptional – Rima from Lithuania – 4 July 2024 (10/10)

  Great apartment in the perfect location in the center of Riga. The apartment was clean and well equipped. There's everything you need for staying for several days. It is situated next to a park, shops, museums, near to the old center. We've enjoyed everything.
