Lovely Studio apartment in the heart of Riga

Lovely Studio apartment in the heart of Riga Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Lovely Studio apartment in the heart of Riga, you immediately get that \”I’m staying somewhere special\” feeling — not because it’s fancy, but because you’re literally in the middle of everything that makes Riga worth visiting. The apartment sits on Merkela Street, and honestly, I can’t think of a better spot to base yourself in Latvia’s capital. You know that feeling when you find a place that just clicks? This is it.

The Perfect Central Location

Here’s what I love about this location — you can walk to Old Town in about three minutes, but you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds right outside your window. Merkela Street has this perfect balance where you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. The morning coffee runs to local cafés become part of your routine, and you’ll find yourself taking different routes just because you can. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.4 out of 10, they’re onto something — this spot really delivers for romantic getaways.

The Space Itself

The studio layout works surprisingly well, actually. Everything you need is there without feeling cramped, and the kitchen setup means you can grab fresh ingredients from the Central Market (just a short walk away) and cook something simple if you want. The room has good natural light during the day, which makes a huge difference when you’re planning your next adventure or just relaxing between sightseeing sessions. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — just a comfortable, well-thought-out space in an incredible location.

Living Like a Local

What really sets this place apart is how it connects you to actual Riga life. You’ll discover that little bakery around the corner that locals queue up at every morning, or find yourself chatting with neighbors in the courtyard. The building has character — the kind you get in European cities where history seeps into everyday life. Plus, having your own space means you can come and go as you please, which is perfect when you want to experience Riga’s surprisingly vibrant nightlife or catch those early morning moments when the city’s just waking up.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating isn’t just about the location (though the 9.7 location score speaks for itself). It’s about how this place lets you experience Riga authentically while still having all the comfort you need. You’re not staying in some generic hotel room — you’re temporarily living in one of Europe’s most underrated capitals. Whether you’re exploring the Art Nouveau district, wandering through Vecrīga’s cobblestone streets, or just people-watching from a nearby café, everything feels effortless when you’re staying here. It’s the kind of place that makes you start planning your return visit before you’ve even left.

• Супер, очень довольна всем. – Veronika from Belarus – 6 December 2022 (10/10)

  Понравилось все, удобное расположение, обстановка. Квартира соответствует описанию. Было страшно так как мало отзывов, а оказалось все круто. Каждая деталь продумана. Все гармонично. Чисто. свежее белье, полотенце, столовые приборы, все было супер. Всегда были на связи 24/7, оперативно отвечали на все вопросы, интересовались сами, все ли хорошо. Есть вай-фай хотя в описании указанно, что интернета нет. Хочется более подробного описания на сайте. Очень все коротко.

• Very good – Hyewon from South Korea – 18 July 2022 (8/10)

  Amazing location. Tasteful interior design and furniture. There is a curtain to separate the sleeping area and kitchen.
  
  What could be improved: There were many flies in the bathroom. They kept coming up for a few days. I think there is a problem in the shower drain or pipes underneath the drain.
