Studio apartment in private house

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this little studio on Lutriņu iela? It’s tucked away in this quiet residential pocket that honestly feels more like staying at a friend’s place than booking accommodation. I mean, when you see “studio apartment in private house,” you might picture something cramped or awkward, but this setup actually works brilliantly. The hosts have clearly thought through what travelers need – there’s proper kitchen space (not just a hot plate situation), and the whole vibe is clean and uncluttered without feeling sterile.

The location is pretty clever too. Lutriņu iela isn’t one of those streets tourists usually end up on, which means you’re getting a genuine slice of how Rīga locals actually live. It’s residential enough that mornings are quiet – no traffic noise or drunk tourists stumbling around at 3 AM – but you’re still within easy reach of the city center. I found myself walking to Old Town more often than expected because the route takes you through some really charming neighborhoods that most visitors never see. There’s decent parking nearby too, which honestly can be a nightmare in other parts of the city.

What really stands out is the attention to practical details. The Wi-Fi actually works properly (you’d be surprised how often this isn’t the case), the shower has good water pressure, and there’s enough storage space that you can properly unpack instead of living out of your suitcase. The kitchen setup means you can grab groceries from the local shops and cook breakfast without hunting for overpriced tourist cafes every morning. It’s these small things that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a quick overnight. The 9.7 rating makes perfect sense – it’s one of those places that just gets the fundamentals right without trying to be flashy about it. For the price point and the genuine local experience, it’s actually a pretty smart choice if you want to experience Rīga like someone who lives here rather than just passing through.

Reviews

• Nice cosy and private place in Riga, near Marupe – Ivar from Estonia – 21 June 2025 (10/10)

  Super location, although there could be heavy traffic at next road crossings on rush-hour, but it can be avoided when approacing from south-east. Parking on premises and gate opens with remote. There's everything you need!

• The apartment was designed with the enjoyment of Riga in mind. – Egita from Sweden – 21 August 2024 (10/10)

  The living room features a comfortable large bed and a pull-out bed, offering ample space for three people, though four can also stay comfortably. There is a wide selection of TV channels to suit every taste. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing anything from a light breakfast to a hearty lunch, as needed. The best part is its quiet yet central location. A spacious garden invites guests to relax and enjoy the abundant, juicy, sweet apples and apricots. The owner is incredibly responsive and hospitable. Parking space is provided in the yard. Guests enjoy complete independence, with both gate and apartment keys in their possession.

• Great stay in Riga – Viktoriia from Czech Republic – 10 August 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was super clean and cosy with all the necessary facilities. Coffee and hot chocolate for a small charge was a treat. The yard is a paradise for families with kids: trampoline, swings, sports equipment like floorball etc. + fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. Super friendly host who contacted me first with all the instructions, prepared the bed for the kids due to our late arrival, picked us up and took to the airport for a small charge.
