Sunlit Loft Apartment Riga

Sunlit Loft Apartment Riga Overview

I stumbled upon the Sunlit Loft Apartment Riga while wandering down Matīsa iela, and honestly, it’s one of those hidden gems that make you feel like a local even if you’re a tourist. The building itself is a mix of old brick and modern glass, and the lobby feels more like a cozy living room than a hotel entryway. The staff greet you with that warm Latvian smile, and the check‑in is super quick—no long queues. They give you a key fob and a map that actually points out the best coffee spots, like the tiny café on Āgenskalns with the best cold brew, and the tiny bakery on Pārdaugava that still sells those fresh rye rolls. They even mention the best time to visit the Old Town to skip the throngs of tourists, especially if you’re heading to the cathedral in the morning when the city still smells of fresh bread from the market.

The apartment itself is a bright, airy loft that feels like a studio in a hip neighborhood. You’ll find a comfy queen bed with memory foam, a fully equipped kitchenette that has everything from a blender to a hand‑powered espresso machine—yes, they actually provide that. The living area spills out onto a balcony with a view of the Daugava river, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hear the gentle lapping of the water at night. The noise level is decent, although if you’re staying during the summer, expect the occasional distant traffic hum from the main road. The city’s nightlife isn’t too far away, but the loft’s windows are well‑sealed, so you won’t be woken up by the club scene until after midnight. During the winter, the heating is spot on, and you can feel the warmth seep into the hardwood floors, which actually feel surprisingly soft under your feet—no harsh, cold tiles here. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, with a walk‑in shower that has a rain‑shower head, and the toiletries are all natural, which is a nice touch for anyone who’s conscious about the environment.

Parking is a mixed bag—there’s a small parking lot on the street, but it fills up fast during the summer, especially if you’re coming from the airport. I found a spot in the underground garage a few blocks away, and the staff there were helpful with the payment system. It’s a bit pricey, but for the convenience of having a secure spot near the city center, it’s worth it. The whole area around Matīsa iela is lively, with a great mix of old and new. You can walk to the Old Town in about 15 minutes, but if you want a more local vibe, hop on the tram at the corner and take it to the Jūrmala promenade—perfect for a sunset stroll. The restaurant scene is off the beaten path as well; I tried the bistro on Līšu Street, and the roasted pork was unforgettable. If you’re traveling in the off‑season, the city is quieter, and the apartment’s quiet hours are respected—no loud parties, just the occasional neighbor’s radio turning up.

All in all, the place feels like a home away from home, with plenty of practical touches that make traveling painless. From the quick check‑in, the thoughtful amenities, to the little insider tips the staff shared, it’s a spot that makes you feel welcomed and cared for. If you’re planning a trip to Riga and want to stay somewhere that gives you a real taste of the city without the tourist traps, this loft is definitely worth booking.
