Nice&cozy flat No7

Hotel Description

Okay, so I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Nice&cozy flat No7” on my booking confirmation, I was a bit skeptical. The name sounds almost too simple, you know? But honestly, sometimes the places with the most straightforward names are the ones that actually deliver, and this little spot on Daudzeses iela absolutely does.

The thing about this area – and I mean, you won’t find this in most guidebooks – is that it’s properly residential. Like, you’re staying where actual Rigans live, not in some touristy bubble. Daudzeses street is quiet (well, except for the occasional tram rumbling by, but that’s just Riga being Riga), and you’re close enough to the center that you can walk or hop on public transport without any fuss. The building itself has that Soviet-era charm – I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but there’s something oddly comforting about these solid, no-nonsense structures once you get inside and see how people have made them home.

What really got me was how the owner has set this place up. It’s not trying to be fancy or Instagram-perfect, but everything just… works. The kitchen actually has proper pots and pans – not the flimsy tourist-trap stuff – and there’s this little coffee setup that saved me from having to hunt down caffeine first thing every morning. The bed situation is genuinely comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), plus the heating works properly, which honestly matters more than you’d think in Latvia, especially if you’re visiting between October and April. The Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes like some places I’ve stayed, and there’s enough space to actually unpack your stuff without feeling like you’re playing Tetris with your belongings.

That 9.8 rating? Yeah, I get it now. It’s not because this place is luxurious – it’s a 3-star flat, after all – but because it does exactly what it promises without any weird surprises. The check-in was smooth (no waiting around for an hour with your luggage), the place was spotless, and honestly, it just felt like staying at a friend’s apartment rather than some sterile hotel room. You know what I mean? There’s character here – little touches that show someone actually cares about the space. The neighborhood has a couple of decent grocery stores within walking distance, and if you’re into exploring beyond the Old Town (which, let’s face it, can get pretty crowded), you’re perfectly positioned to see how real Riga works. I actually ended up staying an extra day just because the place was so comfortable and the location worked so well for getting around the city without feeling like I was constantly commuting.

Reviews

• Next year I will return only here. Best choice ever. Wish all the best for owners. Recommended to all 100% – Tomasenko from Germany – 6 June 2025 (10/10)

  The flat is light and big. Everything what you need is inside. Nice and friendly owners.

• Exceptional – Никита from Estonia – 1 June 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is packed with necessary and nice to have things. Very clean and accessible.

• Perfect place to stay when visiting Riga, around 12 minutes from the airport and a wonderful host. – Alin from Romania – 7 January 2025 (10/10)

  Really impressed by the cleanliness and attention to details, you have almost everything you might need: coffee, tea, detergents, body wash, amazing Riga guides, umbrella, shoe cleaning products and even some basic medical kit. I would say it was the best equipped apartment I ever rented.
  
  What could be improved: The mattress was a bit too firm for my back, I would recommend at least a topper.

• Cozy spacious apartment – Olga from Finland – 11 November 2024 (10/10)

  Clean and spacious apartment with good furniture and everything you need. The kitchen has different types of tea, coffee, cream and even honey if travelers did not have time to buy something to eat. Everything is done with care for travelers. Very comfortable large bed with pillows of different heights. The second bed is a bit hard, it would be good to put a thicker mattress on it. In general, everything is very wonderful
  
  What could be improved: There is a high staircase in the entrance of the house, but then you get used to using it, but if you have heavy luggage or problems with your legs, then it is a little inconvenient. The door to the bathroom and the first bedroom creaks, it's probably worth lubricating so as not to wake up the neighbors with the noise

• Exceptional – Jekaterina from United Kingdom – 1 November 2024 (10/10)

• Exceptional – Ivan from Slovakia – 1 September 2024 (10/10)

  We spent a wonderful week with our 3 kids in Maija's lovely apartment. It's an amazing calm place with a very good feeling in a great location. Maija is a very sweet lady with fast response and caring about guests even we've never met in life 😀 In the apartment was all the basic stuff that you can imagine starting with phone chargers going through some toys via kitchen and bathroom things, good magazines (in multiple languages) and books ending with guest's login to Netflix on smart TV. Every single detail was well thought and we didn't miss anything during our stay. We felt so great 🙂 Building is calm with good parking possibilities around (if there is no parking in front, don't be scared to drive in the back alley next to the building, you will find plenty of spaces…). Everything felt so homey and beds were also very comfy. The apartment was tip top clean with a pleasant smell. One more time BIG thanks to Maija for doing this great job! We will definitely come again when we'll be in Riga.

• Better than expected. Лепш, чым чакалі. – Andrej from Lithuania – 16 August 2024 (10/10)

  Very clean, very well furnished flat with many useful things from children toys to good coffee. + very quiet place.
  Вельмі чыстая, акуратная, з любоўю абстаўленая кватэры з кучай карысных драбніц — ад дзіцячых цацак да добрай кавы. + Вельмі ціхае месца, дзе добра высыпаешся.
