Sunlit Loft Apartment Riga

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Sunlit Loft Apartment? The name isn’t just marketing fluff – this place actually gets ridiculous amounts of natural light. I’m talking about those massive windows that make you want to sit with your morning coffee and pretend you’re in some European film. The apartment sits on Matīsa iela, which honestly isn’t the most glamorous street name, but it’s actually perfect positioning. You’re in this quiet residential pocket that feels authentically Rīga, not touristy at all, but you can still walk to the central districts without breaking a sweat.

The loft itself has this interesting industrial-meets-cozy vibe that works way better than it sounds on paper. High ceilings, exposed brick in spots, but then they’ve added these warm touches that make it feel like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile rental. The kitchen is properly equipped too – I mean, you can actually cook here if you want, not just reheat leftovers. What I really appreciated was the little things: decent water pressure (trust me, this matters), blackout curtains that actually work, and – this might sound weird – but the floors don’t creak when you walk around at night. The neighborhood itself is pretty chill. You’ve got this mix of young professionals and families, so there’s life on the street but it’s not rowdy. There’s a solid grocery store about three blocks away, and honestly, some of the best coffee I had in Riga was from this tiny place just around the corner that I stumbled onto by accident.

Parking can be a bit tricky during weekdays since it’s a residential area, but evenings and weekends are fine. The 9.2 rating makes sense to me – it’s one of those places where everything just works without being fancy about it. You’ll sleep well here, the WiFi doesn’t cut out during video calls, and the whole place feels clean without that aggressive disinfectant smell some rentals have. I stayed here during shoulder season, so I can’t speak to summer crowds, but in October it felt like I had my own little corner of the city. The only minor thing – and I’m really reaching here – is that the shower is one of those modern rainfall types that looks great but takes forever if you’re trying to rinse shampoo out of long hair. But honestly, that’s me being picky. This is the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because it just feels right.

  The apartment was super spacious and the view from the windows was fantastic. The ceilings were so high and there was loads of space for storage. The bathroom was incredible!
  
  What could be improved: The living room main sofa and the main bed were too hard to sit and sleep on so I’ve slept in spare bedroom where the mattress was soft.

The owner is very helpful and accommodating with excellent communication, really nice.
