Redstone Apartments

Redstone Apartments Overview

I stepped into Redstone Apartments on Skārņu iela, and the first thing that hit me was that old‑world charm mixed with a surprisingly modern vibe. The building itself is a narrow, stone‑clad block right in the heart of Rīga’s old town, so you’re literally walking across cobblestones that have seen centuries and still feel alive. The lobby’s warm lighting and a few vintage photos on the walls give you that instant sense that you’re in a place that cares about its history. The staff at the front desk were quick, they helped me with the keycard, and they even threw in a map of the city with some of their favorite spots highlighted in pencil—pretty thoughtful, honestly.

The apartment I booked was a compact, two‑bedroom unit with a small balcony that overlooks the distant spires of St. Peter’s Church. The room itself is a pop‑of‑color affair: a navy sofa that’s surprisingly comfortable, a tiny kitchen that actually fits a coffee maker, a tiny fridge, and a decent-sized TV with cable and streaming options. I mean, for a place that’s only a few minutes’ walk from the central market, it’s a solid setup. The walls are quiet enough for a good night’s sleep even on hot summer nights when the city’s traffic hums like a distant lullaby. The only thing that might bug some travelers is the slightly creaky wooden floorboards—they’re old, but you can hear them settle as you walk, which adds to the charm, I guess. I was able to lock my luggage in the secured storage, and the keycard system was a breeze—no fumbling around with old hotel cards.

When you’re out, the neighborhood feels like a living museum. Skārņu iela itself is a tight, narrow street lined with old timber‑frame houses, and a few potted herbs here and there. If you’re looking for breakfast, the local café—just two blocks down—serves the best rye bread and a latte that melts in your mouth. Oh, and the parking? There’s a small underground lot just a block away from the building, but you’ll have to reserve it in advance because the spots are limited. I parked there and it was a smooth ride in and out, but you’ll want to label your parking ticket because the attendants are a bit forgetful.

The real kicker for me was the noise level after sunset. It’s a bit louder than you’d expect for a central location, especially on Fridays, but it’s more like the mellow chatter of locals than a full-on party. If you’re prone to being a little sensitive to sound, set your alarm to a low volume and you’ll be fine. The check‑in experience was super friendly; the concierge almost offered a free bottle of local gin if you look for it—just a small, hidden gem. I also found that the building’s Wi‑Fi is stable, which is a lifesaver after a long day of exploring. The housekeeping staff checked in once a day, which is fine because the apartment feels like a home, not a hotel room.

All in all, Redstone Apartments is an easy-going, budget‑friendly spot that doesn’t skimp on character. It’s the sort of place that makes you feel like you’re staying in a local’s townhouse rather than a chain hotel. If you’re planning a trip to Rīga, this spot is a solid base, especially if you want to be in the thick of the city’s history, the food scene, and the lively nightlife—just remember to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. The blend of old stone, modern amenities, and friendly staff makes for a genuine, down‑to‑earth stay that feels less like a stay and more like a brief, enriching chapter in your travel diary.

  We had an amazing experience staying at this beautiful apartment right in the center of the old town! The location couldn't be better — just steps away from the Old Town, restaurants, cafes, and all the main attractions.
  The space itself was spotless, stylishly decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cozy and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable.
  I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Riga
