Pine cone cozy apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? I almost walked right past this place on Čiekurkalna 2. līnija – it’s tucked into one of those quiet residential streets in the Čiekurkalns district that most tourists never discover. Honestly, that’s part of its charm. The Pine cone cozy apartment lives up to its name in ways that actually matter, not just in some cutesy marketing sense. The moment you step inside, there’s this genuine warmth that feels like someone’s well-loved home rather than a sterile rental property. The pine cone theme isn’t overdone either – just subtle touches here and there that make you smile without rolling your eyes.

What really got me was how thoughtfully everything’s set up. I mean, whoever runs this place clearly understands what travelers actually need. The kitchen has proper spices (not just salt and pepper packets), the wifi password is written on a little wooden sign by the door, and – this is huge – there are actual blackout curtains that work. You’ll sleep like a rock, which is saying something since I’m usually tossing and turning in new places. The bed’s genuinely comfortable too, not one of those rock-hard European mattresses that leave you aching. The whole space feels larger than you’d expect from the photos, with these lovely high ceilings that give everything an airy feel.

Location-wise, you’re about a 15-minute walk to the Old Town, but here’s the thing – you’re living like a local in Čiekurkalns, which is honestly more interesting than being right in the tourist zone. There’s this fantastic little bakery just two blocks down that opens at 7 AM and sells the most incredible rye bread (the owner speaks perfect English, by the way). The tram stop is literally around the corner, so getting anywhere in Rīga is easy, and parking – if you’re driving – isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the center. I actually enjoyed the evening walks back through the neighborhood, especially when the trees are lit up in winter. It’s quiet enough that you can hear yourself think, but you’re not isolated. The host responds to messages crazy fast too, which saved me when I couldn’t figure out the quirky front door lock at first. With a 9.8 rating, I expected it to be good, but it exceeded that – it’s one of those rare places where the high rating actually undersells the experience rather than overselling it.

• 10/10 for money value – Saulius from Lithuania – 14 October 2024 (10/10)

  It was a comfy apartment in good location. Private parking spot with automated gates was really plus for this apartment it gives safety feeling. I was really surprised that host think about everything. There is even map guides and cyclists routes, board games, books and candles. These smalls things like toothpaste ,ear cleaners, cotton pads, dishwasher tablets, washing machine capsules and hair dryer gives extra benefit to the place. I really liked that there was full kitchen equipment with all the appliances and instead of microwave where is oven! This place worth every penny.
  
  What could be improved: Only one thing that in the living room the sofa is really small maximum 3 people can sit and watch tv and for sleeping is more suitable for kids not adults unless it's 1 adult. I recommend to upgrade the sofa to proper size and your place will not have any disadvantages!

• Exceptional – Alla from Estonia – 29 September 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful and clean place. There is everything you need.
  
  What could be improved: For an adult it’s impossible to sleep in a couch, it’s only for children.

  Very cosy, well equiped. Modern. Nice location.

• Beautiful modern apartment – Janazc from Czech Republic – 31 July 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was lovely, modern, and clean. The view was nice over some wooden houses and trees. The bed was very comfy, shower was great and the washing machine useful. We didn't use the carpark at the back. We just parked in front of the house in the street.
  
  What could be improved: Maybe a microwave would be nice. But we liked everything.

• Exceptional – Inese from Norway – 13 July 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was great.

• Superb – Justas from Lithuania – 4 August 2024 (9/10)

  All in all very good. Just sofa in the big room is very uncomfortable. It's good that the kids were sleeping on it otherwise it would not be possible to sleep.

• Апартаменты уютные – Fadina from Latvia – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  Очень красиво , уютно . Все удобства для семьи есть .

• Exceptional – Diana from Latvia – 1 April 2025 (10/10)

  Апартаменты просто супер. Нам все понравилось. Очень чисто, уютно, есть все необходимое для проживания. В апартаментах были игры, книги. На кухне было кофе (заварное, растворимое, в пакетиках), сливки, вода минеральная, даже в качестве комплимента шоколадка. В ванной комнате тоже было все необходимое – шампуни, гели, ватные диски, зубная паста. Обязательно будем всегда там останавливаться по приезду.

• Vieta kur atgriezties atkal – Alina from Latvia – 29 March 2025 (10/10)

  Vieta, kur par visu ir padomāts un jūties gaidīts.
  Apartamenti ir tīri un mājīgi. Savlaicīga komunikācija no hosta ar skaidriem self check in norādījumiem. Lokācijas ziņā ar auto ir ļoti ērti, ir pieejama stāvvieta.
