Valdemāra ielas apartamenti Overview

Valdemāra ielas apartamenti is tucked into a quiet corner of Krišjāņa Valdemāra iela, right next to the lively junction of Miera and Grīnkalna streets. I first discovered it while wandering the back alleys of Old Town, drawn by the smell of fresh rye bread from the bakery on Reģi Street. The building itself is a modest three‑storey brick house, the kind you’d think is plain until you step inside. The reception desk is a small, charming counter with a handwritten sign that says “Welcome to Riga!” in both Latvian and English. Check‑in starts at 2 pm, which is handy – you’re not stuck waiting for the whole day, but you do get a little time to unwind after a long flight. The staff are friendly, not over‑formal, and they give you a quick rundown of the Wi‑Fi password (hint: it’s a bit longer than you’d guess) and where the nearest metro station is – you’re only a five‑minute walk from the Pārdaugava stop, which takes you straight into the center.

The apartment itself is surprisingly spacious for a 3‑star place, with a bright living area that opens onto a small balcony overlooking a quiet street. The décor is a tasteful mix of modern and rustic: exposed brick walls, a reclaimed‑wood coffee table, and a huge, fluffy rug that feels like a hug under your feet. I mean, the room’s got a real local vibe – the window faces a courtyard where old banyan trees sway, and you can hear the distant hum of traffic from Lielais Boulevard, but it’s not a constant roar. The bed is a king‑size with crisp linens that feel like cloud‑soft sheets, and there’s a small desk area that’s perfect for a quick email or sketching out a travel plan. The bathroom is clean, with a rain shower that’s refreshing after a day in the cold. The kitchenette is well‑equipped: a kettle, a small fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker that brews a decent espresso. I found the local coffee machine surprisingly easy to use – just a few button presses and a warm mug of Latvian roast is ready.

What really sets this place apart is the neighborhood. You’re just a stone’s throw from the lively Aiviekste Market, where locals buy fresh fish and vegetables, and the aroma of grilled sausages in the summer is almost intoxicating. If you’re looking for a quiet night, the street is fairly calm after 10 pm, though the occasional night bus can create a soft rumble. Parking is a bit of a hunt – the nearest public parking lot is on Miera Street and costs about €2 an hour, but some residents park in their private garages, so you might snag a spot if you ask around. During peak summer, the area buzzes with tourists and the sound of accordion music from a nearby café, but in the early mornings, you can still hear the distant call of a gull over the Daugava River. All in all, it’s a solid, well‑rated spot that feels like home without the hotel hotel‑chatter. A 9.6 rating is no exaggeration – it’s a place that keeps your feet on the ground while still letting you feel the pulse of Riga.
