Spacious 73m2 Modern Flat in the Heart of Riga

Spacious 73m2 Modern Flat in the Heart of Riga Overview

Spacious 73m2 Modern Flat in the Heart of Riga—that’s the place I landed at after a long flight from the UK. I was hoping for a quiet hideaway, and honestly, it almost delivered, except for that one time a street performer from the nearby Pils Street spilled a cappuccino on my rug—good thing the owner’s got a spare set of towels! The flat sits on Blaumaņa iela 9, which is practically a stone’s throw from the Old Town, but not so close that you hear every tram horn. I mean, you can hear the distant chatter of tourists, but inside the walls it’s as still as a library. The check‑in was super breezy; the host handed over a keycard and a quick map of the area, pointing out the best bakery on Lielais Boulevard (the one with the cinnamon rolls that melt in your mouth). No fuss, no waiting in a lobby that feels like a museum of outdated décor. That’s a win for anyone who’s tired of the usual hotel front desk drama.

Inside, the apartment is a clean, modern canvas that makes you forget you’re in a city. The living room has that kind of open space you only see in high‑end rentals, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that let in the late‑afternoon light and give you a view of the bustling street below—though you can’t see the whole city, just the slice that’s right in front of you. The kitchen comes fully equipped, and there’s this little corner with a kettle, a French press, and a stack of local magazines—perfect for a quiet morning when you’re sipping coffee and planning out a day in the city. I love the soft texture of the sofa cushions; they’re firm enough to support a quick nap after a day of exploring. And the bathroom—well, it’s not a spa, but the shower is hot enough to drown out the winter chill that sometimes sneaks into the walls.

If you’re planning a trip, here are a few things I’d mention: parking is a bit of a challenge, but there’s a municipal garage just a block away on Pils Street if you’re driving. You’ll also find a small bicycle rack at the corner of the street, which is handy if you want to hop around the city without a car. The noise level is decent—there’s that occasional burst of music from a nearby café, but nothing that rattles your sleep. I found the balcony surprisingly cozy; in the summer, you can sit there with a glass of Riga wine and watch the sunset over the river, and in the winter, the lights from the Old Town cast a warm glow that makes the whole place feel like a secret hideout. The only critique? The Wi‑Fi speed dips a bit during peak hours in the late afternoon, so if you’re a freelancer, you might want to plan your work around that. But for a laid‑back vacation, this flat is a solid choice. It feels like a home, not just a place to stay, and that’s why I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Riga the way locals do—without the tourist traps and with a touch of genuine comfort.

Reviews of Spacious 73m2 Modern Flat in the Heart of Riga

• Fantastic stay in Riga. One of the best apartments we have stayed in abroad (and we travel a lot) – Emma from United Kingdom – 19 May 2025 (10/10)

  Fantastic property, in a great location. Clean and modern, host was brilliant.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Exceptional – Benny from Sweden – 16 May 2025 (10/10)

  I liked everything about this accommodation, location was great. Communication with our host was really good as well. Would recommend this place to anyone who visits Riga. The best thing was that there was a key locker so that we could manage the keys well within our friend group.
  
  What could be improved: The towels were not 100% ready as they were a bit wet but we dried them. The bed wasn't made with the cover but we did it as well. Another thing is the faucet in the shower room can get easily clogged, other than that me and my friends had a great stay in Riga.

• Highly recommended – Arjen from Netherlands – 27 March 2025 (10/10)

  This is a great apartment! Spacious and clean. For a good price. close to a large shopping centre and tram/bus. Easy to go to town. Public transport is cheap and tickets can be bought at the stop or in bus. I came from airport with bus 22 and paid 1.50! Easy change to tram 1 or bus 30… and stop close to apartment. I own apartments myself on booking, travel a lot, and with all that experience I RECOMMEND THIS ONE
  
  What could be improved: I suggest having some instructions in the apartment. How to connect your phone to the TV for example. The water temp of the shower can be better. I informed the host who was very responsive.

• Complete. – Gijs from Netherlands – 24 January 2025 (9/10)

  Spacious, everything was there, and clean.

• In general the apartment fully corresponds to the description on the booking and I would be glad to stay there the next – Volodymyr from Ukraine – 26 December 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was tidy, clean and fully satisfied all our expectations . The umbrella in the corridor was a pleasant bonus and was very helpful for us .
  
  What could be improved: We didn’t find is a shoehorn but all times we remembered about it exactly when we were going to leave apartment and didn’t have time to ask the apartment owner about it 🤣. And another things that frightened us a bit at the first moment was a strange knocking behind a shower wall. The most likely it came through common ventilation channel .It didn’t bother us in living rooms but just was a bit strange to hear it in the shower room.
