Luxury apartment with a balcony and view in Riga Old Town

Luxury apartment with a balcony and view in Riga Old Town Overview

Luxury apartment with a balcony and view in Riga Old Town is tucked away on Kungu iela, right where the cobblestones start to feel a bit worn from centuries of foot traffic. As soon as you walk in, the smell of fresh coffee from the tiny kitchen and the faint hint of sea salt carried in from the nearby Daugava River greet you—it’s like the apartment is breathing Riga itself. The room is spacious, almost airy for a three‑star spot, with a ceiling that feels higher than it actually is. I mean, the windows open out onto the old town, so you get that panoramic view of the spires and the old wooden houses; you can see the blue church bells ringing in the distance. Honestly, if you go around 9 pm on a Friday, the streetlights flicker on and the whole square turns into a soft, amber glow—perfect for a quiet night in.

The balcony is where the real charm lies. I stepped out early in the morning and heard the city waking up: a gull caw here, a cyclist whizzing by on Lielā Street, and a distant bell from the St. James Cathedral. The view stretches all the way to the river, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch the sunrise over the old town walls. The space is enough to fit a small table, so you can have a coffee with a croissant while watching the world go by. The only downside is that the balcony railing is a bit tight, so if you’re carrying a bag, you’ll have to be careful. Parking is a bit of a hassle—you’ll need to find a street spot on Kungu iela, which can be a bit tricky in the summer when the locals are out. But in the shoulder seasons, the spots are easier to snag, and you’ll get a quieter, more relaxed vibe.

Check‑in was surprisingly smooth; the front desk was friendly, and the manager—who apparently knows everyone in the neighborhood—handed over the keys with a smile and a quick tip: “Try the bakery on Miera Street, 10 minutes away, for the best rye bread.” That personal touch really sets it apart. Noise-wise, the apartment is pretty decent; the old town’s cobblestone streets do carry some echo, but the windows are double‑glazed, so the city chatter doesn’t bleed into your space. If you’re a night owl, you’ll find it a bit noisy around midnight, but that’s the price of living in the heart of Riga. The only small critique I have is that the Wi-Fi password takes a moment to find—there’s a note tucked in the corner of the living room wall, but you have to look for it. Still, for a 3‑star rating of 9.5, it’s more than generous, especially with that balcony that feels like a secret rooftop in the middle of the old town. If you’re looking for a place that feels authentic and gives you a feel for Riga’s pulse, this apartment is worth a stay.

  The apartment is short walk from many of the sights. The apartment is sun drenched (which can of course be a disadvantage!) However we can highly reccomend the apartment.

• A great choice for a weekend in Riga – Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 24 August 2024 (10/10)

  Great location on the edge of the Old Town. Really comfortable and clean. Having the balcony was a bonus. Great air con. Lots of nice little extras that you don’t always get in apartments, like coffee pods, iron and board, lint roller. It was easy to contact the host and she was friendly and helpful.

• Exceptional – Carla from Portugal – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is new and comfortable. Very well decorate and the terrace is nice. Air conditioning was helpful and it has all basic facilities of an apartment. At our arrival we had cookies. mineral water, coffee and tea. The location is great, just in the old town, with many main visitors attractions just a few minutes walking. The central market, the central bus station and the central train station are 5 minutes walking. Everything was well. It is really a good option to stay in Riga and our option to stay if we came back to Riga.

• Exceptional – Alan from United States – 12 July 2024 (10/10)

  Great location in the Old Town; light-filled; efficient cooling system for hot summer days; everything works well; very clean; easy access.

• Great apartment close to everything and very clean and comfortable – Martin from United Kingdom – 10 June 2024 (10/10)

  The flat was super clean and tidy with everything you need for a great stay. The location is so close to restaurants and bistros that you don't need to walk more than a few hundred yards for any meal time. There's a nightclub down the road, but don't let that put you off, we could only hear it when we were on the balcony, or if we left the windows open but we kept them closed most nights and had the air-conditioning on for comfort.
  
  What could be improved: It's in the old town, which is great, but there's a lot of building renovations happening very close, so the view closer to the apartment isn't great but noise levels were low when we were there so we were happy enough.
