Modern Apartment with Balcony

Modern Apartment with Balcony Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The balcony actually faces the right direction. I mean, when you’re staying on Jūrkalnes iela, you’re basically in a residential neighborhood that most tourists never see – which is honestly part of the charm. The apartment sits in this quiet stretch where locals walk their dogs in the morning, and you get this real sense of how Rigans actually live.

The space itself is pretty straightforward – modern furnishings that don’t try too hard, a kitchen that’s actually functional (not just there for show), and yeah, that balcony I mentioned. It’s not huge, but it’s got enough room for your morning coffee and people-watching. The building’s from the Soviet era but they’ve done a decent renovation job, so you’re not dealing with sketchy plumbing or weird electrical issues. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this area – there’s street parking, but during weekdays when everyone’s heading to work, you might have to walk a block or two from your car. Not the end of the world, but worth knowing ahead of time.

What I really appreciated was how the host seemed to get that travelers want practical info, not just the standard welcome speech. They mentioned which tram stop gets you to Old Town fastest (it’s about a 15-minute ride), where the nearest Rimi supermarket is for groceries, and – this was clutch – which local café makes the best coffee without charging tourist prices. The neighborhood itself is sort of in between worlds; you’re close enough to the city center that nothing feels far away, but you’re also surrounded by this mix of young families and older folks who’ve lived here for decades. Honestly, if you’re the type who likes to experience a place rather than just visit it, this setup works really well. The 8.8 rating makes sense – it’s not luxury, but it delivers on what it promises without any nasty surprises.

• Good – Marcin from Poland – 22 June 2025 (7/10)

  Ogólnie ok. Gdyby nie to że mieszkanie nie było dobrze posprzątane to byłby bardzo miły pobyt.
  
  What could be improved: Mieszkanie przed naszym przyjazdem nie było odkurzone i nie były umyte podłogi. Pościel i ręczniki czyste, kuchnia i łazienka w porządku, ale na podłodze i kanapie było bardzo dużo kurzu, włosów i sierści. Na szczęście w mieszkaniu był odkurzacz i mop to sobie poradziliśmy. Zgłosiliśmy to dla właściciela, zapewnił ze wyjaśni to z firmą sprzątającą.
