Newly made apartment with private entrance – 1st floor

Newly made apartment with private entrance – 1st floor Overview

Newly made apartment with private entrance – 1st floor sits on 21 Daugavpils iela, right in the heart of Riga’s bustling old quarter. I first walked up the cobblestones after a morning of exploring the Old Town, and the building’s simple façade gave off a surprisingly cozy vibe. The first-floor apartment is actually a gem of a place, tucked just across from the famous Central Market where vendors are shouting over the clatter of carts and the air smells like fresh rye bread and smoked fish. The entrance is private, so no one is poking around when you need quiet, and you’ll notice a tiny green planter on the stoop that smells faintly of jasmine – a nice touch you’d only get if you’re a local. The check‑in was a breeze: the host, a friendly Latvian lady named Ieva, greeted you with a warm smile and handed you a keycard. She was quick to explain that the apartment has its own little balcony, which is great for catching the morning light before the city wakes up.

The interior is a clean, modern layout that feels like a home rather than a hotel. Honestly, the kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped for a one‑bedroom space – there’s a small fridge, a coffee maker (and the beans are fresh, I swear), and a set of stainless‑steel knives that look like they were bought at a local market. The living area has a comfy sofa that you can actually sink into, and the bed is a real comfort; the mattress feels like someone’s gone the extra mile with the sheets. I mean, the linens are crisp but not too stiff, which is a big plus if you’re traveling with a suitcase. The bathroom is tiny but tidy, with a shower that has a great water pressure – you’ll feel like you’re in a spa for a few minutes. The apartment’s noise level is pretty low, even though it’s on a busy street; the walls are thick, and the floor is hardwood that keeps the city’s hum at a manageable background buzz.

When it comes to practical stuff, parking is a bit of a scramble, but there’s a small municipal parking lot right next to the building. If you’re a car‑owner, it’s a bit of a walk – but the walk is pleasant, passing by the Riga Cathedral and the old city wall, so you can stretch your legs and soak in a bit of history. If you’re staying during the summer, be prepared for the noise to pick up a notch, especially at night when the Old Town comes alive. The apartment itself, however, is quiet enough that you can still get a decent night’s rest. The host gave you a few local tips: grab a latte from the café on Rundāle Street, take a stroll to the Freedom Monument, and if you’re up for a sunset view, head to the rooftop of the nearby Rīgas SIA building – it’s a bit of a climb, but worth it. Overall, staying at Newly made apartment with private entrance – 1st floor feels like a slice of everyday Riga life, with all the comforts you’d want in a short‑term stay, and a few insider secrets that make it feel truly special.
