Renovated apartment in Riga center

Renovated apartment in Riga center Overview

Renovated apartment in Riga center sits at Stabu iela 49-37, right in the heart of the city where you can almost hear the old cobblestones echoing your footsteps. Honestly, the first thing that struck me was the sheer blend of old and new – a 1920s façade with a surprisingly modern interior that feels like a secret loft you stumble upon while wandering the narrow streets of the Old Town. I mean, you could walk straight from the apartment to the Riga Central Market, and the smell of fresh smoked fish and rye bread will hit you before you even steps out. The place itself is a 3‑star gem; the rating of 9.3 is no exaggeration – it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like a local rather than a tourist.

When you arrive, the check‑in is quick and friendly, which is a relief given how many places have you done the whole “you need a photo ID and a credit card in the name of the guest” routine. The staff is surprisingly efficient – they hand you a keycard with a quick rundown of the Wi‑fi password (which is fast enough to stream your favorite shows, so you can relax after a day of exploring). Parking is a bit of a challenge because you’re in the city center, but there’s a small garage just a block away that charges a modest fee; I parked there last night, and the only thing that bothered me was a faint echo of a passing trolleytrain outside the door, but that’s a minor quirk of city life that locals are used to.

The apartment itself is cozy, with a living area that opens onto a balcony overlooking the bustling streets – you’ll get a view of the old stone arches and the occasional street performer juggling. The kitchen is practical; a stove, a fridge, and a coffee maker that actually works – no more “electricity is a mystery” type of experience. I found the mattress surprisingly comfortable – after a long walk from the old church to the art gallery, it was like sinking into a cloud. There’s a small, but well‑chosen, set of toiletries that give the place a luxurious feel without being over the top. I think the only real drawback is the noise level at night; there’s a resonant thump from a nearby bar, but it’s nothing you can’t take a quick nap for. The sound of traffic outside is almost like a lullaby, a reminder that you’re right in the center of everything.

If you’re planning a trip, keep in mind that Riga can get pretty lively during the summer months, so if you’re into a quiet, serene stay, consider booking for late September or early October – the city is still buzzing, but the crowds thin out a bit. And if you’re a foodie, the nearby street “Kopli” has some great local spots like a small café that serves the best rye pastries and a “stari kalni” (old stones) shop where you’ll find handcrafted ceramics. The best part? The apartment is just a stone’s throw from the bus and tram stops, so you can hop off and explore the art nouveau district or the contemporary art scene in the city center without having to haggle over a taxi fare. All in all, it’s a quirky, comfortable spot that feels like you’ve stumbled onto a hidden slice of Riga life – no fluff, just genuine charm.

To book a hotel in Riga during major Baltic festivals, travelers need early planning as this medieval Hanseatic capital draws visitors eager to experience its UNESCO World Heritage old town and vibrant cultural scene.

  The apartment is quite special. It has a living area connected to the kitchen and a separate bedroom. There are a lot of nice, high-quality pillows and other bedding accessories. It's a really good renovation with high-quality paint and flooring. The bathroom is nice, and the kitchen is well-equipped. A couple of sofas are also a good addition so you can sit and work. There's really a good place to stay for either short or long-term visits.
