Moderns un kluss dzīvoklis 41 m2

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across this little gem on Stabu iela – honestly, the name “Moderns un kluss dzīvoklis” pretty much tells you everything you need to know if you speak any Latvian (modern and quiet apartment), but let me tell you why this place actually lives up to that promise. The 41 square meters might sound tiny on paper, but whoever designed this space really knew what they were doing. It’s one of those places where every corner serves a purpose, and somehow it doesn’t feel cramped at all.

The location is actually brilliant if you know Riga even a little bit. Stabu street puts you right in that sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to the Old Town – I mean, it’s maybe 15 minutes on foot – but you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds and late-night noise from the bars around Livu square. The building itself is pretty typical for this part of the city, but what struck me was how quiet it really is inside. I stayed here during a weekend in October, and even with the windows open, you barely hear the street traffic. There’s something about the way the courtyard is set up that just muffles everything.

What really impressed me was the attention to detail – the kind of stuff you don’t notice until you’re actually living in a space for a few days. The shower has proper water pressure (trust me, this isn’t a given in some Riga apartments), the Wi-Fi actually works throughout the entire space, and there’s enough storage that you’re not living out of your suitcase the whole time. The kitchen setup is smart too – it’s compact but functional, with a proper fridge and everything you’d need if you want to grab groceries from the Rimi down the street instead of eating out every meal. Speaking of which, you’re walking distance from some really solid local spots that most tourists never find – there’s this little café on Blaumaņa that does incredible coffee, and if you’re into that whole farm-to-table thing, Entresol is just a few blocks away.

The building entrance is nothing fancy, but it’s secure, and honestly, that matters more than a marble lobby when you’re actually staying somewhere. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that awkward key-passing dance you sometimes get with apartment rentals. The host clearly has their system down, and they actually respond to messages, which… well, you know how hit-or-miss that can be with some places. I think what really sets this apart is that it feels like someone’s actual home that they’ve thoughtfully prepared for guests, not just a generic rental property. The 9.8 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there – it’s the kind of place where all the little things just work, and you end up having a better time in Riga because you’re not dealing with accommodation headaches.

• Exceptional – Jenna from Finland – 20 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was decorated nicely and all the little details were really thought out, it really had everything you would need for a short stay. I especially appreciated having basic cooking essentials like some spices and oils. Nice and safe location.
  
  What could be improved: The bed was a bit uncomfortable and we prefer individual blankets, but these were small things as everything else was great.

• Brand new, very clean, spacious, well planned, has everything need, fits for longer stay. – Olga from Poland – 1 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is brand new, very clean, well planned organized space, has everything that you need,
  there is a desk to work/write, a dinner table, big wardrobe, a lot of kitchenware, etc.
  We had a short stay, but I can tell the place is great for longer stays. The windows are into quiet inner yard
  
  What could be improved: For us it was all good, maybe someone avoids ground floors for any reason should know it is a ground floor – or wants to live right in the Old Town – it is ~25 min of walk.

• Clean, quiet and comfortable – Marcin from Poland – 14 July 2024 (10/10)

  I liked this place a lot. It had all the amenities and it was very clean and quiet. I often find that in this type of accommodations, owners tend to cut corners and furnish their apartments in the cheapest way possible. It certainly wasn't the case here. I also appreciated the tasteful decor and the well planned layout. The location, while not very central, is convenient enough and seems very safe, especially with half a dozen cop cars parked right outside 🙂
  
  What could be improved: The shower drain was clugged, and it was very easy to flood the bathroom without shutting the water off every couple of seconds. I see how this was easily missed in housekeeping, but it was a bit of a nuisance. At times, there was also an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, which I assume came from the ventilation duct. It smelled of cat pee. My travel companion is a smoker, so I was looking for a place with a balcony or easy access to the outside. We were a bit disappointed when we saw big no smoking signs on the outdoor patio furniture. These were, however, minor problems that ultimately didn't spoil our stay in this otherwise awesome property.
