Old Riga Two Bedroom Apartment With 2 Bathrooms

Old Riga Two Bedroom Apartment With 2 Bathrooms Overview

I recently stayed at Old Riga Two Bedroom Apartment With 2 Bathrooms on Audēju iela, and let me tell you, it felt like slipping into a well‑kept secret tucked between the bustling Old Town and the quiet lanes of the Miera district. The building itself is a charming 18th‑century stone structure, and the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm, slightly musty scent that’s oddly comforting—like the old wood of the stair railings mixed with the faint aroma of fresh bread drifting from the bakery on Ārāniņa Street a block away. The reception desk was minimalist, with a friendly attendant who handed you a keycard and a small map of the block, pointing out that the nearest tram stop is a two‑minute walk to the right, while the bus stop sits on the corner of Audēju and Lielā Strāva. The check‑in was quick, no long lines, honestly; it felt more like a personal welcome than a hotel formalities.

The apartment itself is a cozy, two‑bedroom haven, perfect for a small group or a couple wanting a bit of extra space. The living room has this gorgeous oak floor that creaks just a little when you walk—adds character, not a flaw. The kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped: a semi‑modern stove, a small fridge, a kettle, and a set of knives that actually feel sharp enough to cut through a carrot without a second thought. I found myself chopping veggies in the bright, open space, with the window overlooking a narrow cobblestone lane where a street musician once played a violin—imagine that in the middle of winter, the sound of the violin cutting through the crisp air. The two bathrooms are quite spacious; the shower has a rain‑shower head that feels like a spa, and the toilet is the kind you didn’t realize you needed until you used it. The beds are made with a thick mattress and a duvet that feels like a cloud—so good you can’t wait to jump out of bed in the morning. The apartment has double‑pane windows, so the usual city hum is muted; you can still hear the distant clatter of a tram, but it’s gentle enough that you can read a book without a pop‑in of wind.

Parking is a bit of a hassle if you’re driving—there’s no dedicated spot in the building, so you’ll need to find street parking around Audēju iela, which can get tight during the summer rush, but it’s manageable if you’re okay with a few minutes of searching. If you’re staying during the festival season, when the Old Town gets packed, the apartment still feels like a quiet refuge; the streets around Audēju are alive with people, but the building’s thick walls keep the noise at bay. The only real downside I noticed was that the Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty at times, especially in the bedroom—so if you need a steady connection for work, you might want to bring a portable hotspot. On the bright side, the location is unbeatable for a real taste of Riga: you’re a stone’s throw from the historic Riga Central Market, so you can grab fresh cheese and rye bread in the morning, and you’re just a short walk to the Daugava River promenade where you can watch the sunset over the old stone bridges. The vibe is relaxed but lively, and the apartment feels like a home away
