Old Riga Modern Apartment

Old Riga Modern Apartment Overview

Old Riga Modern Apartment – I walked up the cobbled steps of 3 Republikas Laukums just as the city started to hum with that familiar Riga morning buzz. The check‑in was quick, the staff handed me a key card with a smile that felt more like a nod from a friend than a formal greeting. The lobby, with its exposed brick and minimalist design, instantly made me feel at home, and the scent of fresh coffee from the café downstairs (the one with the crooked window that looks out onto the street where vendors sell hand‑made scarves) was just the right touch. I had to admit, the parking was a bit of a minefield – you have to weave through a maze of narrow streets and watch for those impatient scooters – but the city’s free street parking on the corner of Bērzkalna really saved me the hassle of hunting a spot in the underground lot.

Inside, the apartment is a smart mix of modern chic and old‑world charm. The living area spills onto a balcony that overlooks the old town’s spires and the slow ripple of the Daugava. I found the noise from the tram line across the street to be surprisingly tame, especially after the first morning rush; the evening quiet is perfect for a late‑night espresso. The room’s floor‑to‑ceiling windows bring in plenty of light, and the texture of the hardwood floor under my feet is a subtle reminder that Riga still values craftsmanship. Wi‑Fi is decent, though I’ve heard that in the winter the signal can drop a bit when the city’s heating systems go into overdrive. Still, the pros far outweigh the cons – a comfortable mattress that feels like a hug and a personal touch in the form of a handwritten note left by a previous guest with a recommendation for a hidden gem of a bakery on Lielā Street.

The real charm, though, is in the details. I spent an afternoon walking a block to the Kalnciema Quarter, where the narrow lanes are lined with tiny art studios and cafés that serve the best rye bread you’ll find anywhere in Latvia. The next morning, I caught a local bus to the Riga Central Station – the route is a scenic tour of the city’s architecture, and the driver was so friendly he offered to show me where the best coffee shop was. If you’re a foodie, the market on Pasts Street is a must‑visit; the stalls are full of locally made cheese and the smell of smoked fish lingers in the air. For a quiet night in, I found the apartment’s quiet corners perfect for reading a book or watching the city lights flicker on the river. Overall, Old Riga Modern Apartment feels less like a place you stay and more like a place you belong – a slice of Riga that you can call your own during the short, but memorable, stay.

  What could be improved: Whilst the apartment is very light with lots of windows, there is no sun as north facing and there is an overhanging building. The outlook is on to a car park and there is only a very oblique view of the river.

  What could be improved: Geschirrausstattung könnte besser sein. Zusätzliche Töpfe, Schüsseln, Teekanne, Zitronenpresse haben wir vermisst.
