Ludviķa studio apartment

Ludviķa studio apartment Overview

Ludviķa studio apartment is tucked into a quiet corner of the Old Town, just a stone’s throw from the cobblestone streets of Ķīna and the historic heart of Riga. I pulled up in a rented car and the parking situation was a relief – a small, somewhat squeaky lot right outside the building, but the staff handed me a key and said, “You’re all set,” without any fuss. The building’s front door is a simple paneled oak, and the check‑in desk is a single counter with a friendly receptionist who flashed me a smile and a quick map of the city. I mean, the first thing that struck me was how low the noise level was – even though we’re in the bustling Old Town, the apartment’s thick walls keep the hum of traffic and the occasional jazz club down to a whisper.

Walking into the studio, the place feels like a cozy, well‑made capsule of comfort. The living area is just a bit more than a couch and a small coffee table, but the décor is carefully curated – muted greens, a few local art prints that hint at the Latvian vibe, and a vintage lamp that glows like a low‑key sunrise. The kitchenette is compact but functional: a single burner, a mini fridge, a tiny countertop that’s just big enough for a kettle and a couple of mugs. The sink is a bit smaller than I’d prefer, but there’s a small dish rack that looks like it could hold a whole shelf of plates. The bathroom is a clean, modern space with a rainfall shower that actually feels like a spa – and yes, the showerhead isn’t the most luxurious, but it works.

Honestly, the Wi‑Fi is a mixed bag. The signal is decent when you’re in the living area, but if you move to the bedroom or the tiny kitchen, you might get a drop in speed – a typical side‑effect of the building’s age. The bed is a queen with a mattress that’s firm but forgiving; the linens feel like a second skin. I found the noise from the city a bit louder at night, especially the distant clatter from the old market square, but it’s just a faint hum that doesn’t disrupt sleep. If you’re traveling during the summer, you’ll notice that the area gets busier, with street performers and tourists, but the neighborhood still keeps its charm.

What I love most about this place is how it situates you right in the middle of local life. Just a short walk goes you past the famous “Rīgas Rožkalnu” café where the coffee is strong and the croissants are buttery – a must-try for any first‑time visitor. If you’re in the mood for a night out, the “Džinī” bar is just a block away, known for its craft gin and a relaxed vibe; I’d suggest heading there after a long day of sightseeing. For a quiet evening, the small park by the Lielupe River is a hidden gem, offering a calm retreat and a view of the city lights reflected on the water. The apartment’s location lets you enjoy the best of both worlds: the historic allure of Riga’s Old Town and the practical convenience of modern amenities, albeit with a few quirks that feel more like character than shortcomings.

To wrap it up, Ludviķa studio apartment is a sweet spot for anyone wanting to feel like a local without sacrificing comfort. The check‑in was smooth, the apartment was cozy and clean, and the surrounding area is a veritable playground for first‑time explorers. Yes, the Wi‑Fi can be a bit patchy and the bathroom could use a splash of color, but those are small details compared to the overall experience. You’ll leave with a sense of having lived like a Rīga resident, with a few new favorite cafés tucked into your memory. If you’re planning a trip to Latvia, this place will likely become that part of the trip you keep telling your friends about for years.

Reviews of Ludviķa studio apartment

• Very good – Handriani from Estonia – 7 August 2024 (8/10)

  It was a great place for a short stay! A small space, but clean and tidy. It takes around 15 minutes from Riga Airport and 10 minutes to the old town by car 😄
  
  What could be improved: Would be great if bathroom mat was provided

• Was a very comfortable and pleasant stay – Alise from Latvia – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

  Very clean and neat. Had everything that we could’ve needed.
  
  What could be improved: The towels were very soft and nice but they were the material that leaves a bit of fluff on you. However, not a big problem

• Exceptional – Paravyan from Latvia – 14 July 2024 (10/10)

• Very good – Anonymous from Estonia – 10 July 2025 (8/10)

  I really enjoyed my stay – everything worked perfectly and the location was great.
  
  What could be improved: The room didn’t have a view, and the cobblestone street in front of the building wasn’t my favorite. However, this wasn’t a big issue and didn’t affect our overall experience. The place was clean and well-located, which made my stay enjoyable.

• Exceptional – Svetlana from Lithuania – 27 December 2024 (10/10)

  Уютная квартира-студия,с печкой-камином который предаёт особый шарм. Рекомендую!
  
  What could be improved: Нет

• Exceptional – Liudmila from Lithuania – 20 October 2024 (10/10)

  Очень аккуратная, чистая квартира, удобная кровать. Теплая комната. На кухне есть все необходимое. Удобное бесконтактное получение ключей. С хозяйкой всегда можно связаться по телефону.
  
  What could be improved: Все понравилось в квартире.

• Due giorni molto belli a Riga – Mirko from Italy – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  L’appartamento è in un quartiere residenziale molto vicino al centro. Noi ci siamo mossi con i mezzi lasciando la macchina parcheggiata. La fermata del bus è a pochissimi minuti e sui mezzi ci vogliono 10min.
  L’appartamento ha sostanzialmente tutto (dalla cucina alla lavatrice)e la proprietaria è stata molto disponibile e molto chiara nelle info.
  
  What could be improved: Non ho trovato nulla che non mi fosse piaciuto.

• Вроде и неплохо, но есть нюансы – Stanislav from Israel – 13 January 2025 (7/10)

  Понятные инструкции по заезду получили от хозяйки накануне. Дом старый и деревянный, снаружи и в общем коридоре выглядит страшновато, но в квартире все в порядке. Места достаточно для двоих. Чисто. Интернет отличный. До трамвая примерно метров 500. Парковка во дворе либо на улице вдоль дороги, так же бесплатна. С водой все в порядке.
  
  What could be improved: Как выяснилось, основной способ отопления в квартире это дровяная печь-буржуйка (вполне современная, надо заметить), которая требует определенных навыков для розжига и поддержания горения, пришлось научиться ))) Имеется и электрообогреватель, но хозяйка не рекомендовала им пользоваться, т.к. проводка в доме старая и есть вероятность остаться без электроэнергии. Звукоизоляция плохая, музыку от соседей за стеной слышали прекрасно.

• Pleasant – Tanja from Finland – 21 July 2024 (6/10)

  Willkommensgruss und kostenlose Duschartikel
  sauber
  es gab kuschlige/flauschige Handtuecher dort
  
  What could be improved: sehr schwer zu beurteilen -schwanke zwischen 5 und 6 ! ! ! wenn man den Hinterhof betritt, denkt man nein, das kann nicht wahr sein richtiger vergammelter Hof und die Haustuere und bevor man das Apartment betritt eine richtige Bruchbude. Apartment trotz Ventilator zu warm. Man muss hochsteigen um das Fenster öffnen zu können da nur oberes Fenster möglich ist zu öffnen. Keine Kaffeemaschine vorhanden. Code und Info ueber Schluessel, Gebäude leider nur ueber booking erhalten – schwierig, wenn man keinen Internetzugang hat. Haustuere quietscht sehr laut. Bett ist sehr niedrig. Es hat irgendwie nach Rauch gerochen der vermuntlich von den Rauchern der Bewohner kam die im Hinterhof rauchten. Induktionsfeld beim kochen sehr laut.
