New comfortable apartment nearby promenade in 5 minutes from Old town of Riga.

New comfortable apartment nearby promenade in 5 minutes from Old town of Riga. Overview

You know what surprised me about this place? The name makes it sound like just another generic apartment rental, but honestly, it’s got this perfect sweet spot thing going on that most travelers dream about. I mean, you’re literally five minutes from Old Town Riga – and I’m talking actual walking minutes, not that inflated “tourist time” you usually get in listings.

The apartment itself sits on Eksporta iela, which is one of those streets that feels residential enough to give you a break from the tourist chaos, but you’re still close enough to hear the distant hum of the city center when you’ve got the windows open. What I really appreciated was how the place actually felt like an apartment, not some sterile hotel room with a mini-fridge shoved in the corner. The furniture’s comfortable without being fancy – sort of like staying at a friend’s place who has their life together, you know? And the promenade access is legit. I’d grab coffee in the morning and walk down to the water before the day really got started, which became this nice little routine I wasn’t expecting.

Here’s the thing about the location that the listing doesn’t quite capture – you’re in this interesting pocket where you get the best of both worlds. The Old Town’s right there when you want that postcard-perfect medieval vibe, but you’re also positioned well for exploring the more modern parts of Riga that a lot of visitors skip. I found myself walking to the Central Market more often than I thought I would, and there’s this great little neighborhood feel along the way. Parking wasn’t the nightmare I was bracing for either, though I’d still recommend asking about it upfront if you’re driving. The building’s pretty quiet at night – I was worried about street noise, but Eksporta doesn’t get the late-night foot traffic that some of the more central streets do. Check-in was straightforward, no drama, which honestly felt like a small miracle after some of the places I’ve stayed in Eastern Europe. The whole setup just works, you know? It’s got that 9.3 rating for a reason – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it nails the fundamentals while giving you that authentic “living in Riga” experience that’s hard to find in traditional hotels.

Reviews of New comfortable apartment nearby promenade in 5 minutes from Old town of Riga.

• Superb – Nepnep from Finland – 25 April 2025 (9/10)

  The location of the accommodation was excellent – everything was within a short walking distance, with good restaurants and the old town nearby.
  The apartment itself was clean and cozy, dogs were welcome, and we could park the car in the yard.
  
  What could be improved: The only negative thing was the bed. If you're a light sleeper, be prepared for the bed to creak and squeak loudly with even the slightest movement or turn. It was otherwise comfortable to sleep in, but the creaking was really intense.

• Strongly recommended – Kateryna from Ukraine – 15 January 2025 (10/10)
