Modern & Spacious 80m2 Apartment in Riga Old Town

Modern & Spacious 80m2 Apartment in Riga Old Town Overview

Modern & Spacious 80m2 Apartment in Riga Old Town—you know, I stumbled into this gem on a rainy March afternoon, and honestly, it feels like the kind of place locals keep in mind for a quiet weekend or a quick get‑away from the city buzz. building itself is a charming brick façade that blends the old town’s historical vibe with a surprisingly sleek, minimalist interior. As soon as I opened the door, the scent of fresh-cut grass from the courtyard outside mixed with the faint aroma of roasted coffee that the apartment’s tiny kitchen is set up to produce. The space is generous—80 square meters, which is huge for a place this close to the city center—so you don’t feel cramped even when you’re unpacking your suitcase.

Walking out, you’re right on Peldu iela, just a stone’s throw from the bustling market square and the iconic House of Blackheads. I took a detour down Miera Street (literally “peaceful” in Latvian) where you can find a handful of cozy cafés that serve the best rye bread you’ll ever taste, and the whole area buzzes with the hum of scooters and the occasional trumpet from a nearby marching band during festival season. The apartment’s location is perfect for night owls too: you can stroll past the soft glow of street lamps that line the cobblestones and hear the distant clatter of a night‑time tram. The only downside? The check‑in process was a bit slow—there was a small queue at the front desk and the key was handed over in a plastic sleeve that was a bit too glossy, but once you handed it to the host, everything felt seamless. Parking is a bit of a nightmare if you’re driving; the nearest street parking is on Lielā iela and you’ll have to circle a few blocks, but if you’re on foot or taking a taxi, it’s basically a walk away from all the best spots.

Noise-wise, the apartment is actually surprisingly quiet, especially if you’re staying after 10 pm. The city’s nightlife doesn’t bleed into the rooms—though if you’re an early morning coffee lover, you might hear the distant whir of a local bakery’s ovens around 6 am. What I love most is the little touches: a local map pinned on the wall with handwritten notes, a set of mugs that look like they belong in a Latvian café, and a playlist of Baltic folk tunes that the host left on the Bluetooth speaker—so you can hear the subtle blend of sea wind and city chatter in the background. If you’re traveling during the summer, be prepared for the Old Town to be a hive of activity, but the apartment’s double‑glazed windows keep the heat at bay. Overall, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a resident rather than a tourist—warm, welcoming, and full of authentic local flavor.

• Huge apartment at a perfect location with great amenities. – Fotios from Greece – 16 April 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was simply huge, modern, and great value for money. Amenities were great. Bedsheets were very warm and heating very efficient. The fact that there were 2 bathroom sinks helped our group a lot. The location could not have been better. I appreciated the host's video on how to find the apartment door etc.
  
  What could be improved: I was overall very satisfied, the only thing is possibly that the entrance and hallways were dirty. I am aware this is not the host's fault since there are other residents too, but an agreement with them about cleanliness would make this just perfect.
