Stylish apartment with parking & spacious balcony Overview

I stayed at Stylish apartment with parking & spacious balcony last summer, and honestly, it was the kind of place that feels like a secret corner of the city. The building’s on 28 Duntes iela, right where the old wooden houses of the city wall meet the modern glass facades of the new business district. If you’re walking from Rīga Central Station, a quick 10‑minute stroll, you’ll pass the historic St. Peter’s Church and the bustling market of Kalnciema. I parked my car in the dedicated underground lot—no hassle, no hidden fees, and the keys were handed over by a friendly staff member who even offered me a map of the best coffee spots nearby. The check‑in was quick; you just swipe your card and the front door opens. No long lines, no waiting for a receptionist.

The apartment itself was a bright, airy space with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that let the afternoon light stream in like a warm hug. The balcony—yes, the balcony—spans the entire width of the room and opens onto a quiet courtyard. From there, you can hear the distant rumble of a tram and the soft chatter of locals sipping coffee at the corner café. The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped; there’s a full set of knives, a small espresso machine, and a stack of local bread from the nearby bakery on Ārēns Street. I spent a lazy Sunday morning making pancakes with the butter that came in a tin, while the scent of fresh rye bread wafted from a bakery across the street. The room is a mix of industrial chic and cozy comfort—think exposed brick, reclaimed wood, and a plush rug that feels like a cloud under your feet. The mattress is a bit firm, but that’s just the way I like it for a full night’s sleep after a day of exploring.

Noise-wise, it’s a mixed bag. The building itself is well insulated, so the only thing that breaks the silence are the occasional footsteps of neighbors or the distant siren of a delivery truck. During the tourist season, the area gets livelier, but the apartment stays surprisingly calm—most of the hustle is just outside the windows. If you’re a night owl, the balcony can get a little chilly, but the city lights make for a pretty backdrop. One thing I’d note: the bathroom is a bit on the small side, but the shower has a great, steady water pressure that turns a quick rinse into a mini spa session. The only minor gripe? The Wi‑Fi password is written on a sticky note in the living room, so you have to look a bit to find it. All in all, this place is a real gem for anyone looking to stay somewhere that feels like home, with easy access to the best of Rīga without the tourist crowds.
