Old Riga 2 Bedroom Vecpilsetas Street Apartment

Old Riga 2 Bedroom Vecpilsetas Street Apartment Overview

Old Riga 2 Bedroom Vecpilsetas Street Apartment sits tucked between the crooked alleys of the Old Town, just a stone’s throw from the buzzing market of Vecrīga. I remember walking out of the door and feeling the faint scent of freshly baked rye bread drifting from the corner bakery—yes, that one on Pils Street—mixing with the briny tang of the Daugava. The building itself is a charming, slightly aged brick structure, its windows flanked by ornamental balconies that look out onto a narrow lane where local artisans sell hand‑crafted ceramics. You can actually hear the distant clatter of the city’s tram wheels, a comforting lullaby for those who love a bit of urban rhythm. The apartment is a cozy, well‑lit space, with a living area that flows into a kitchenette that feels more like a home than a hotel kitchenette. The beds are comfy, with crisp linens that feel like a hug after a long day of exploring the cobbles and hidden courtyards of Riga.

Check‑in is a quick, friendly affair. The front desk staff greet you with a warm smile and a quick rundown of the city’s best spots. They hand you a small booklet—yeah, a paper one—that lists the nearest bus stops, the best coffee shop in the vicinity (the one on Lielā Street with the mint‑flavored latte), and a handy note about parking. Parking in this part of the city can be a nightmare, but the staff point you toward a paid underground spot just behind the Old Town Hall; it’s a short walk, and you’ll have a ride back in the evening. The apartment itself is quiet—mostly because the area is a residential block, not a tourist hotspot—but you can still hear the occasional burst of laughter from the courtyard café or the rhythmic click of a street performer’s drums on a Saturday night. The noise levels are perfect for a fresh start in the morning and a restful night afterward.

I love the little touches that make this place feel like a home away from home. The kitchen has a small, hand‑painted mug that the previous guest left behind, and the living room has a vintage poster of Riga’s skyline that looks like it’s been there forever. The bathroom is small but functional, with a shower that has a steady, soothing spray—there’s a stream of steam curling up the tiles that adds a spa‑like vibe to your morning routine. The balcony is a real treat; from there, you can watch the sunrise over the River Daugava, the sky turning from a pale blue to a fiery orange—perfect for a quiet moment before you head out. If you’re traveling in the summer, be ready for the city to bustle with tourists; the streets near the Old Town can get pretty crowded, but the apartment’s quiet walls keep the noise from getting too loud. In winter, the light can be a bit dim, but the warmth from the radiator makes it feel cozy as if you’re snuggling under a blanket. Overall, this place feels like a little slice of Riga that you can call your own, and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to experience the city as locals do—just bring a cup of coffee for the mornings and a sense of adventure for the evenings.

Reviews of Old Riga 2 Bedroom Vecpilsetas Street Apartment

• Very nice apartment, the best location! – Eeva from Finland – 10 June 2024 (9/10)

  Good location, nice apartment.
  
  What could be improved: There is a big bathtub but not enough warm water to fill it. Tv channels didnt work.

• Convenient stay in the old town – Janek from Estonia – 13 May 2024 (9/10)

  In the old town, so in the very middle of the city. Very convenient when arriving by bus or train, since it is very close to the central bus and railway station. Perfect for an overnight sleep, if you don't need luxuries and bling. Everything was clean and comfortable. The apartement was quiet.

• Superb – Jennifer from Germany – 2 December 2023 (9/10)

  A nice, clean, bright apartment in an excellent location. Having the key in a lockbox is very convenient for arrival, departure, and for the times the adults in your group don't stick together.
