Sunset view apartment

Sunset view apartment Overview

Sunset view apartment is tucked into the quieter side of Grēcinieku iela, just a stone’s throw from the old city’s cobbles. When I first stepped into the lobby, the staff—two locals with friendly smiles—checked me in with a speed that made me feel like a regular, not a tourist. The reception desk is modest, no bling, but the handwritten welcome note in Latvian gave it an instantly personal feel. I mean, you get the sense that the apartment owners actually live here and care about guest experience. Parking was a breeze; there’s a small, paid spot behind the building that never gets full even during the summer rush. The first thing I noticed was the aroma of fresh bread drifting from a bakery on Lielā iela, just three minutes away on foot. You know what, the street’s noise is surprisingly low—mostly the hum of traffic, not the clatter of tourists.

Inside, the apartment feels like a loft with high ceilings, exposed beams, and plenty of natural light that makes the space feel airy. The living area is cozy, with a sofa that actually cushions well and a view that frames the sunset over the Daugava River—hence the name. I spent an evening watching the sky change colors while sipping coffee from the small kitchen. The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped: a double-basket coffee maker, a ceramic kettle, and a fridge that keeps things cool without the constant whirr you find in some hotels. The bathroom is a minimalist aesthetic with a deep soaking tub that’s perfect for unwinding after a day walking to the nearby Riga Central Market. The only downside I found was the slight creak in the wooden floorboards when I walked, but honestly, it’s almost charming—like a secret whisper of the building’s age.

Noise-wise, the apartment stays quiet past midnight, which is great if you want to sleep after a late night at the Old Town. The only issue is that the front entrance is a bit close to a small café that stays open late, so if you’re a light sleeper, you might catch the sound of espresso machines. But that’s a small trade-off for staying so close to things like the Riga Concert Hall

• Exceptional – Petrovijev from Italy – 11 May 2025 (10/10)

  Had a great stay at this apartment! Everything was super clean and exactly as described. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow — no stress at all. The place has a nice vibe, with a beautiful view out the window that made mornings feel extra inspiring. Also appreciated the little details: comfy bed, good Wi-Fi, and all the basics I needed. Perfect spot if you’re traveling solo and want somewhere calm but central. Would definitely come back.

• Exceptional – Alessandra from Italy – 5 May 2025 (10/10)

  Wonderful apartment in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Everything was clean, bright, and very cozy — we felt right at home. The host was incredibly sweet and always available if we needed anything. We had a truly great experience!

• A great apartment, in a great location in a great city! – Anne from Finland – 3 January 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was really beautiful and the location of the apartment was great. The view was amazing. Everything was clean and communication worked. The parking space in the backyard was good.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was on the fifth floor, no elevator, so it can be challenging for people with bad feet. But if the location of the apartment doesn't bother you, the views from the apartment will reward you. 10+ for views. The apartment could have more drinking glasses, etc.

• Nette Wohnung in super Lage – Sabine from Austria – 6 July 2025 (8/10)

  Sehr nette Wohnung in super Lage.
  Hat alles was man braucht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es jederzeit wieder buchen
  
  What could be improved: Mit den Koffern ohne Lift in den 5. Stock. Für uns zwar kein Problem, könnte aber für ältere und körperliche beeinträchtigte Menschen schon eines darstellen.

• Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Riga – Peter from Germany – 9 June 2025 (9/10)

  Tolle Lage, wenige Gehminuten von allem, was es in Riga zu sehen gibt. Perfekt ausgestattet inkl. Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine …
  
  What could be improved: Fünfter Stock ohne Aufzug

• Tolle Wohnung in zentraler Lage. – Margret from Germany – 31 May 2025 (10/10)

  Geschmackvoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung, sehr gemütlich mit allem was nötig ist. Die Wohnung ist zentral gelegen – und da sie im 5. Stock ist hat man den perfekten Blick.

• Exceptional – Andrei from Romania – 17 May 2025 (10/10)

  Моё путешествие в Ригу на фестиваль шпрот началось как гастрономическое приключение, но закончилось как баллада — с латышской музыкой, тайной рижского бальзама и неожиданными поворотами в старинных улочках.
  
  Квартира — уютное гнездо в самом сердце Старой Риги. Вечером я открыл окно, и сквозь легкий туман на фоне уличных фонарей услышал, как на соседней площади играют dainas — латышские народные песни, с многоголосием, которое буквально пробирает до костей. Певцы, одетые в традиционные костюмы, пели о море, любви и… рыбе. Я стоял у окна, с бокалом рижского бальзама. Его аромат — густой, с нотками смолы и каких-то древних трав — идеально подошёл к шпротам на подрумяненном хлебе.
  
  Фестиваль шпрот был в самом разгаре. На центральной площади жарили, коптили, фаршировали, даже делали мороженое из шпрот (не рекомендую, если вы не авантюрист). Но кульминацией стал конкурс «Шпротный рифмоплёт», где я в пылу вдохновения, под латышский аккордеон, прочёл стихи, посвящённые золотой рыбке в жестяной банке. Меня наградили… банкой шпрот с автографом мэра. Подписал он прямо на олове: «Uz veselību!»
  
  Вернувшись в квартиру, я снова налил себе немного бальзама, зажёг свечу на старинной латунной подставке, и лёг слушать, как улица за окном постепенно затихает. Где-то вдали всё ещё доигрывал кугис — латышская народная волынка, немного печальная, но невероятно трогательная. И в этот момент я понял: Рига — это не просто город. Это шпротный вальс, приправленный травами и песнями, который ты будешь вспоминать в любую непогоду.
