Riverside Old Town Spacious One Bedroom Apartment few steps from Dome square and Cathedral

Riverside Old Town Spacious One Bedroom Apartment few steps from Dome square and Cathedral Overview

Riverside Old Town Spacious One Bedroom Apartment few steps from Dome square and Cathedral is the kind of place that feels like a secret you’ve been saving for years. It’s tucked onto 14 Miesnieku iela, right in the thick of Riga’s historic heart—just a few steps from the shimmering Doma laukums and the grey stone of the Cathedral, so you can stroll to the main sights without lugging a bag. The building itself is a sprightly old brick tower with a windowsill that looks out over a cobblestone lane where the scent of fresh rye bread drifts from a bakery on the corner. You’ll notice the faint creak of the wooden floorboards when you walk, a subtle reminder that you’re in a place that’s been around longer than most of the city’s modern cafés.

Check‑in is quick, no one‑liner “you have to be here by 5 PM” nonsense, just a friendly key‑card handover at 3:30 PM with a quick tour of the apartment. The living area is surprisingly airy for a one‑bedroom space, with a sofa that folds into a bed—perfect for that extra guest or a long‑lasting solo night. The kitchen is compact but functional, with a small island that doubles as a workspace. I love the clatter of the kettle and the way the morning light spills through the high windows, making the space feel less like a hotel room and more like a home. The bathroom is a bit on the minimalist side; the shower head’s water pressure is decent but not a “spa‑like” experience—though it does come with a nice, thick bath mat that feels like a small comfort in the cold Latvian weather. The only real critique is that the Wi‑Fi is a bit spotty during peak tourist season when the café down the street is buzzing, but a wired connection in the bedroom doesn’t hurt.

Parking is a non‑issue because there’s a small, paid meter on the street where you can leave a car for a few hours. If you’re staying longer, the city’s public parking garages are only a short walk away. Sound-wise, the apartment gets a bit noisy in the evenings when the streetlights flicker off and the city’s nightlife begins—though it’s mostly just the distant hum of traffic and the occasional church bell. In the mornings, you’ll hear the city waking up: a tram rattles by, a vendor calls out, and the scent of coffee from the nearby ‘Café Miesnieki’ wafts through the window. The best time to visit this place is during the shoulder seasons—late spring or early autumn—when the city isn’t jam-packed. It’s still lively enough to feel the pulse of Riga, but you won’t find the usual tourist crowds at the Cathedral or the Dome square. If you’re looking for a relaxed, authentic stay that still puts you in the pulse of the city, this spot’s got the right mix of history, comfort, and that small, personal touch that turns a trip into a story you’ll want to tell your friends.

• Beautiful apartment, ideally located in old town Riga. – Victoria from United Kingdom – 20 May 2025 (10/10)

  This apartment was perfect. Communication with the host was excellent. Very clear instructions on how to gain access to the apartment were given, along with ideas for an itinerary of things to see and places to go.
  The location was fantastic – walking distance to all the sights and also to the train ststion and bus stops for transport to the airport. There are many restaurants and shops nearby and the area is very safe.
  The apartment was well equipped and clean. There was no noise from any of the surrounding area. I had no complaints at all.
  Riga is beautiful and I hope to return and stay here again sometime. I would recommend staying here.

• Exceptional – Christopher from Australia – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  I like the spaciousness and comfort of the room and the quiet location in the old town. Also, it is on the ground floor so no hassles about carrying luggage up flights of stairs! The host was pleasant to deal with and very responsive to our queries. As we were in Riga for a short two day stay, we didn't use the kitchen facilities for cooking, but think it is enough to make simple meals.
