Old town 1-bedroom apartment

Old town 1-bedroom apartment Overview

You know what struck me first about this little gem on Mucenieku iela? The moment I stepped inside, it felt like I’d stumbled into someone’s actual home rather than another sterile vacation rental. The apartment sits right in the heart of Riga’s Old Town – and I mean really in it, not just claiming to be nearby like half the places online. You’re literally three minutes from the Town Hall Square, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re trying to soak up that medieval atmosphere without the tourist trek.

The space itself is exactly what you’d expect from a thoughtfully converted historic building. The bedroom’s got this cozy, lived-in vibe that somehow manages to feel both authentic and clean (trust me, that’s rarer than you’d think in Old Town rentals). What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night – Mucenieku is just off the main tourist drag, so you get the location without the street performers and late-night revelers right under your window. The kitchen’s compact but actually functional, which came in handy since Riga’s restaurant scene, while amazing, can get pricey if you’re eating out every meal. Plus there’s a little market on Kalku street where you can grab fresh bread and local cheese – the kind of insider tip that makes a difference.

Here’s the thing about staying in Riga’s Old Town: parking is basically a nightmare, but the owners actually gave solid advice about where to leave the car if you’re driving. More importantly though, you won’t need it much once you’re there. The apartment puts you within walking distance of everything that matters – the House of the Blackheads, St. Peter’s Church, and honestly the best coffee shop in the city is maybe two blocks away (locals call it Miit, tucked away on a side street most tourists miss). The 9.1 rating makes sense when you experience the place – it’s not luxury by any stretch, but it delivers exactly what it promises without the usual vacation rental surprises. The check-in was smooth, the WiFi actually works, and the shower has proper water pressure. Sometimes it’s the basics done right that make a place memorable, you know?

Reviews of Old town 1-bedroom apartment

• Wish we could stay here longer… – Eva from Ireland – 19 June 2025 (10/10)

  Perfect central location in the heart of the Old Town, but in a very quiet area, so no disruption to good night’s sleep. The interior is like a love letter from the owner, wish we could stay there longer.
  
  What could be improved: It’s a pity there is no lift in the building, otherwise would bring my 80-year-old mother for a stay there too. But for young to middle-aged people this shouldn’t be a problem, good safe staircase keeps you fit.
