Ziedondarza Park One Bedroom Apartment with Balcony

Ziedondarza Park One Bedroom Apartment with Balcony Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first saw the address on Aleksandra Čaka iela, I wasn’t expecting much. The street can feel a bit busy during rush hour, and let’s face it, apartment rentals in Riga are hit or miss. But walking into this place? Complete 180. The Ziedondarza Park One Bedroom Apartment actually lives up to its name, and I mean that in the best way possible.

The balcony is what sold me initially – not huge, but positioned perfectly to catch the morning light without getting hammered by street noise. You know what’s interesting? The building sits just far enough back that you get this nice buffer zone from the main road, so even with the windows open, it’s not like you’re sleeping next to a highway. The apartment itself feels thoughtfully put together rather than just furnished – someone actually considered how you’d use the space. The kitchen area flows naturally into the living room, and honestly, the bed is one of those rare finds where you don’t wake up with a crick in your neck (trust me, I’ve stayed in plenty of places in the Baltics where that’s not the case).

What really gets me is the location context that most people miss. Sure, you’re about a 15-minute walk from Old Town, but here’s the thing – you’re smack in the middle of where actual Riga residents live and work. There’s this little bakery two blocks down that opens at 6 AM and makes these incredible rye pastries, and the small grocery store across the street stays open until 11 PM, which saved me multiple times when I realized I needed coffee for the morning. The tram stop is maybe three minutes away, and honestly, I found myself using it more than I expected because it connects you to pretty much everywhere you’d want to go without the tourist markup you get staying right in the center.

The 9.5 rating makes sense once you’ve been there a few days – it’s those small details that add up. The shower actually has good water pressure, the WiFi doesn’t cut out every time someone walks by, and the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. I mean, the building itself isn’t going to win any architecture awards, but inside, everything works the way it should. During my stay in early September, the place stayed cool without needing AC, though I imagine summer months might be different. One small thing – if you’re a super light sleeper, there’s occasional tram noise in the early morning, but honestly, it becomes background pretty quickly. For the price point and the genuine local neighborhood feel, this place delivers on what it promises without trying to be something it’s not.

• Superb – Gediminas from Lithuania – 16 October 2023 (9/10)

  Clean and very comfortable apartment in a great location.
  
  What could be improved: There is no parking space for apartment residents in the underground parking lot, so parking is very inconvenient. Often I had to leave my car on nearby streets and walk far.

  Good place 😍

• Superb – Laura from Lithuania – 19 May 2023 (9/10)

  Everything was fine. But we had difficulties with balcony doors. We saw the video, but still we couldn't close them. There is a special technique, I guess 🙂

• Very good – Matthew from United Kingdom – 29 May 2024 (8/10)

  Great location
  Very nice apartment
  Good value for money
  
  What could be improved: Lack of AC in bedroom made it a bit hard to sleep in 26° weather
  Balcony door didn't close properly so could be quite noisy from the road at times

• Overall a good experience. Would stay again. – Elina from United Kingdom – 20 June 2025 (7/10)

  The apartment was a good size and clean. Best location, near a really nice park. Good for families. Has lift. Good value for the money. Would stay again.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately no blackout curtains or blinds. For people who like sleeping in the dark it's a big struggle.
  But how I understand it's in progress, so hopefully the apartment owner will change this as soon as possible, especially for summer time.

• Disappointing Long Stay – Angela from Australia – 1 July 2024 (3/10)

  Washing machine, air conditioning, continuous hot water, elevator, fast WiFi and lots of storage in the apartment. I also appreciated the early check in.
  
  What could be improved: Not equipped for the weather, with no block out curtains to deal with 11pm sunsets. Extremely uncomfortable bed and couch, understocked kitchen (one pan, one pot, one wooden spoon etc). As a one month stay, it was impractical. I also had to leave a week early for a medical emergency, and the host couldn’t care less. Took three days to reply.
