Stylish Studio Close to City Center, Cafés & Parks & Local Dining Overview

You know what? When I first saw the address on Pērnavas iela, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect – it’s one of those streets that locals know but tourists usually stumble upon by accident. Turns out, that’s exactly what makes this little studio apartment so perfect. The moment you step inside, you get this “oh, this is actually really thoughtfully done” feeling. It’s not trying to be fancy or impress anyone with marble countertops, but everything just works. The space feels bigger than it probably is (I mean, it’s a studio, so we’re not talking palace-sized here), and whoever designed it actually understood how people live, not just how spaces photograph.

The location is honestly the real winner here. You’re about a 12-minute walk to Old Town – close enough that you’ll never bother with taxis, but far enough that you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds every time you want to grab coffee. There’s this great little café called Miit literally around the corner where locals actually hang out, and the morning bread smell from the bakery on Dzirnavu basically serves as your alarm clock. The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where people walk their dogs and chat with shopkeepers, which I find way more interesting than staying in some sterile hotel district. Plus, Kronvalda Park is right there when you need some green space – perfect for morning runs or just sitting with takeaway coffee when the weather’s decent.

What really surprised me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re still pretty central. The building feels solid, not like those places where you hear every footstep from upstairs. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no standing around hotel lobbies with your luggage, just grab the keys and you’re home. The WiFi actually works (I know, basic requirement, but you’d be surprised), and the little kitchen setup means you can make proper coffee instead of those sad hotel packets. I will say the shower pressure could be better, but honestly, after walking around Riga all day, you’re just grateful for hot water. The whole place has this calm, uncluttered vibe that makes you want to stay an extra night, especially when you realize you’re paying way less than you would for a comparable hotel room in the center. It’s one of those finds that makes you feel like you’re staying somewhere real instead of just passing through.

Reviews of Stylish Studio Close to City Center, Cafés & Parks & Local Dining

• Perfect place for short or longer stay for 1-2 persons – Julija from Lithuania – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect!! Apartment is not big, but very cozy and good equiped! Very comfortable bed, silent, very clean and warm. Nice big kitchen. I felt very good and like at home. The host is very helpful. Would like to stay longer than weekend!
  
  What could be improved: Curtains a little to far windows, so it is to much view from the outside and light in the morning. Even thin roller blinds would really help.
  A little too early check out..
  A little far from center if walking, but with the train station in few meters or other public transport no problem. Free parking is also available.

• A clean and cozy room, well-connected to the city – Andreas from Germany – 8 April 2025 (9/10)

  The object is well connected to public transport, including a nearby train station. Everything was well maintained and very clean. I found several food places and supermarkets nearby.
  
  What could be improved: The residence is quite a walking distance away from the center / old town, albeit well connected to the public transport network. The shower drain released a smell after a couple of days, which maintenance will surely take care of.

• Exceptional – Katerina303 from Georgia – 10 October 2024 (10/10)

  Apartment is exactly as on pictures.Beautiful and comfortable. We worked from there and everything was really comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• Best place to stay in Riga! – Dobrica from Romania – 28 September 2024 (10/10)

  Amazing place for city break or longer stay in Riga. Apartment have everything what you need. It is in safe neighbourhood without ,,engineers,, and ,,doctors,, from Africa and Middle East like in western Europe. Actually, whole Riga is without them and completely safe.
  Near apartment are many restaurants and shops.

• Clean, cozy and welcoming – Alina from Ukraine – 14 January 2024 (10/10)

  Absolutely clean and cozy, warm inside, all the necessary things can be found in the kitchen, also lots of books and a good TV with YouTube access; the host was welcoming and helpful, thanks a lot, highly recommend the apartments!

• Would choose again! – Kļava from United Kingdom – 6 April 2023 (10/10)

  I absolutely loved this place! There is nothing that I can fault or say. The location, the cleanliness, the style. Appreciated high quality appliances and how the hosts have invested in the apartment. The outside area was very clean too. Neighbours were all polite and welcoming. I would definitely choose it again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to say here. Keep up the good work!

• Great looking and very clean and nice apartment – Rinat from United Kingdom – 1 April 2023 (10/10)

  Apartment was in immaculate condition, for such low price paid I did not expect it to be perfectly clean, all towels and bedsheets were very fresh, everything was super clean and apartment smelled great
  
  What could be improved: Bed wasn't the best as the mattress just sucks you in and it can result in some back pain, but I managed to find comfortable position in the end. However for how clean and nice the apartment is, this is a minor disadvantage. I would stay there again in my next visit

• Exceptional – Ilia from Ukraine – 27 February 2025 (10/10)

  The place was tidy, cozy, very warm and had everything one person could need for a months stay
  
  What could be improved: I would recommend to add a vacuum cleaner or a broom, because there was a lot of dirt from the shoes that couldn't be cleaned due to the absence of such equipment

• Superb – Marcin from Poland – 10 September 2024 (9/10)

  Not quite in the centre but 50 meters from bus stop that can take you anywhere you want. Clean and quiet, easy check-in and check-out. Highly recommended.

• Squeaky door. Warm and cozy. – Iļja from Latvia – 13 April 2024 (9/10)

  Nice property. Clean. Nice curtains. Would be great to mention in the description that it is located on the first floor. Cool TV mount, you can watch it both from the couch and table. Cozy and warm overall. Very satisfied. Nice parking, with free spots most of the time.
  
  What could be improved: Squeaky door in the corridor, aparment is located right next to the entrance to the building, so we could hear every person coming in and out, which was very frequent, considering how much flats are in this building. But no worries, I bought some WD-40 and fixed the squeak, hope it's not squeaking any time soon.
