Two bedroom apartment in Old Town, up to 6 guests

Two bedroom apartment in Old Town, up to 6 guests Overview

You know what struck me first about this place on Kalēju iela? The building itself – it’s got that solid, weathered charm that screams authentic Old Town Riga without trying too hard. I mean, you’re literally on one of the most historic streets in the city, where cobblers used to work centuries ago (kalējs means smith in Latvian, actually). The apartment sits right in the thick of things, but honestly, once you’re inside, the stone walls do a pretty decent job of keeping the street noise manageable.

The space works surprisingly well for six people – I’ve stayed in plenty of “sleeps six” places that feel like you’re playing human Tetris, but this one actually delivers. The two bedrooms are properly sized, not afterthoughts, and there’s enough common area that you won’t be stepping on each other constantly. What I really appreciated was how they’ve kept some of the original character – those high ceilings and old wooden details – while making sure everything actually functions. The kitchen’s got what you need if you want to grab groceries from the Central Market (it’s like a ten-minute walk, maybe less), though honestly, with all the restaurants within stumbling distance, you might not cook much. The bathroom situation is solid too, which… well, let’s just say that’s not always a given in these old buildings.

Here’s the thing about staying right in Old Town – you’re going to hear some activity, especially on weekends when the bars get going. But it’s more lively than obnoxious, and by Sunday morning everything’s pretty peaceful again. The location means you can walk to basically everything worth seeing – Riga Castle, the cathedral, those narrow medieval streets that look like movie sets. I actually found myself using the apartment as a base camp, ducking back between wandering sessions to recharge or grab a layer when the Baltic weather shifted. Check-in was straightforward enough, though you’ll want to coordinate timing since there’s no front desk situation. Parking’s the usual Old Town challenge – there are paid spots nearby, but honestly, once you’re settled, you won’t need a car for anything touristy. The 8.6 rating feels about right; it’s not trying to be a luxury experience, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises.

Reviews of Two bedroom apartment in Old Town, up to 6 guests

• Cozy apartment in the old town – Kęstutis from Lithuania – 7 March 2025 (9/10)

  A very spacious, clean, and cozy apartment in the old town. It is very close to many good restaurants and cafés. There is also a good connection to the airport, as the bus stop is only a 5-minute walk from the flat. Moreover, you can find a big supermarket nearby. Finally, the owner is very friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: It was a bit cold inside during the winter, but the portable electric heater worked well, so it wasn’t a big issue for us, even with the children. It was a bit unusual to have a room with a window facing a wall. Also, part of the wardrobe in the bedroom couldn’t be opened.

• Very fine choice for a stay in Riga! – Taylor from United States – 2 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very nicely appointed apartment with everything one would need.
  
  What could be improved: Lots of steps.

• Style and comfort in the heart of the city – Doris from Estonia – 17 November 2024 (9/10)

  Lovely flat with all facilities.
  Coffee, tea, sugar, salt and oil available in the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast or snack.
  Comfortable beds.
  
  What could be improved: The weekend nights were quite noisy.

• Excellent central accommodation with everything you need. – Daniel from United Kingdom – 26 June 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent location with everything you need. Super for a stay of a few days. Host was excellent with communication. 100% A1 accommodation
  
  What could be improved: Small shower but perfectly acceptable and no issue really. Couldn’t get tv to work but had downloaded things to watch on phone.

• Cozy and cute – Selīna from Latvia – 11 April 2025 (8/10)

  Very polite owner, if I had any questions they responded asap. The location is perfect, the bus stop is nearby, shopping mall is a 1min walk away and all the best cafes are close. The apartment is on the 4th floor which at first we thought we’d be intimidated by, because we thought we’d get tired walking up the stairs everyday, but the flight of stairs is very easy to walk up(also helps us get in more exercise 😄). Like many previous guests, yes, the apartment was a little chilly, especially in colder weather but the heater provided by the owner did its job very well so we’re not even complaining. The kitchen has all the necessary cutlery, dishes and cooking utensils. The bedrooms were nice and neat. It’s a small cozy rustic apartment. You can connect your phone to the Spotify or YouTube on the TV. We enjoyed our stay very much. Very cute and comfortable 🙂 Thank you!

• Good – Jekaterina from Belgium – 1 December 2024 (7/10)

  Location is very central. Attractive price.
  
  What could be improved: One should be aware that its on 4th floor without elevator. Noisy outside that affects the sleep. One bedroom have only “fake” window facing the wall, no natural light. There was no water due to works during one day.

• Good – Andris from United Kingdom – 22 October 2024 (7/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: No oven. Some repairs need to be done. A hole in the wall in one bedroom. Shower head had no pole to suspend it.

• Unprofessional Management Overshadowed an Otherwise Good Stay – Thereza from Ireland – 10 February 2025 (6/10)

  The apartment was very well located, just a short walking distance from all the main tourist attractions. It was spacious and very clean. There’s also an excellent restaurant on the ground floor. They allowed us to check in a bit earlier.
  The self check-in was easy with the instructions provided (door code and key box)
  
  What could be improved: We arrived at the apartment after a four-hour bus ride, eager to take a shower and relax, only to find that there was no holder for the showerhead. I contacted the number provided and received several responses that felt like pre-written messages meant to downplay the issue. At first, they apologized for the inconvenience but claimed they weren’t aware that the holder was broken, saying the cleaner hadn’t informed them and that they would send someone to fix it the next day.
  
  Imagine having to shower and wash your hair using only one hand while the other has to hold the showerhead the entire time. I pointed out that this was not what they advertised on Booking and not what we had signed up for. Their response? Even though it wasn’t the ideal situation, the shower still served its purpose.
  Absolutely outrageous!
  
  We didn’t think it was fair to wait until the next day to take a proper shower, and after many back-and-forth messages, I made it clear that I would leave a bad review. Only after that they finally agree to send someone immediately to fix it.
  
  When the person arrived, they already knew exactly where the showerhead holder was stored, which made it seem like they had been aware of the issue all along and had simply tried to avoid taking action. The shower holder was fixed in less than 20 minutes.
  
  In other words, if they were able to send someone immediately and have everything resolved in under 20 minutes, I don’t understand why they kept trying to deflect instead of actually solving the problem. They even implied that we should focus on enjoying the city rather than worrying about the issue.
  
  There was a clear lack of proactivity, consideration, and respect for guests.

• The apartment was very comfortable apart from the second bedroom. Good communication with the host. – Sheena from United Kingdom – 12 September 2024 (7/10)

  Good central location. The apartment was clean and well appointed. Good communication with the host. All the kitchen appliances were good quality.
  
  What could be improved: The second bedroom was very cramped and faced onto the street which was quite noisy.

• Superb – Becia1978 from Poland – 5 July 2025 (9/10)

  Świetna lokalizacja i komfort dla 3 osob.. wszystko co potrzeba. Pomocna obsługa.
  
  What could be improved: Cześć ręczników już zniszczona.Niedoykajaca się kabina prysznicowa. Dla niektórych ostatnie piętro bez windy może być uciążliwe i bary na dole.
