Studio apartment and FREE airport transfer Overview

Studio apartment and FREE airport transfer is tucked into the cobbled rhythm of 33 Penkules iela, right where the old town feel meets the buzz of modern Riga. I first landed there on a blustery March morning, the kind of wind that drags the scent of roasted chestnuts from the market stalls on Lielā iela. The check‑in was a breeze—no long queues, just a friendly clerk with a quick smile who handed over a key and a map of the city that had a little doodle of the Freedom Monument. The free airport shuttle was a lifesaver; you just hop on the bus after your flight, the driver greets you with a nod, and before you know it you’re in the heart of the city, no extra fee for the ride.

The studio itself feels like a cozy apartment you’d find in a local friend’s house. The living area is a single room that doubles as a bedroom, with a split‑bed that’s surprisingly comfortable for two adults. The walls are painted a muted blue that makes the space feel airy, and the wooden floorboards give a warm texture underfoot. The kitchenette is compact but fully equipped—there’s a coffee pot, a small fridge, a kettle, and a few utensils that make it easy to whip up a quick breakfast. I loved the little ceramic cup that came with the room; it was a nice touch that felt personal. The bathroom is a bit on the smaller side, but the shower has that pleasant, steady flow that’s hard to find in other budget spots. The only thing that could use a bit of upgrade is the bathroom tiles; they’re a bit worn, but the overall cleanliness is top notch.

Noise-wise, it’s perfectly balanced. The street outside is lively during the day with locals strolling, scooters zipping by, and the occasional jazz trio spilling out from a nearby café on Pārdaugava. By night, you hear the faint hum of traffic and the occasional distant horn, but it’s still quiet enough to sleep through the night. If you’re a sensitive sleeper, the only thing you might want to consider is a small earplug set, but honestly, the sound insulation is pretty decent.

Parking is a bit of a challenge if you’re driving. There’s no dedicated parking at the building, so you’ll need to rely on the nearby street parking, which fills up fast on weekends. If you’re arriving with a rental car, consider dropping it off at a nearby parking garage on Pārdaugava street—there’s a free shuttle that runs every 20 minutes to the city center. The shuttle is a lifesaver for guests who want to keep their car in a safer spot. On the other hand, if you’re just exploring, the central location means you can easily walk to the Grand Palace, the 20‑minute stroll to the Old Town, or the 5‑minute hop to the famous Rīgas Stradiņš hospital if you need a quick check‑up.

What really makes this place stand out is the little details that show the staff cares about guest experience. The welcome basket had a small bottle of local Riga beer and a handwritten note recommending the best spots on Dzirnavu Street for a brunch. I followed that tip and ended up at a tiny café that serves the best almond pancakes—there, the owner told me about the secret recipe that’s been passed down for three generations. It’s those personal touches that turn a simple stay into a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a place that’s budget‑friendly but still feels like a home away from home, with a touch of local charm, this studio is a solid pick.
