Just completed an 8-night stay in this super comfortable, spacious home and my only regret is that I couldn’t stay another week! The apartment is quite large and filled with natural light, plenty of genuine exposed brick, a well-stocked kitchen, and a series of colorful contemporary design touches throughout the entire place. This is a very well maintained apartment- lovingly renovated and absolutely spotless. It was a delight to come home to every day.
Equally impressive was the building itself - a gorgeous example of Art Nouveau architecture, built solid as a rock so you don’t hear anything from other apartments; the windows facing the street must be triple strength because when closed, the street traffic just fades away. I slept like an infant.
The neighborhood is a gem - situated just outside the tourist zone in a vibrant section of the city. The building is perfectly located between several bus and tram lines that will get you anywhere you want to go - the Riga transit system is amazing. Or you can just wander aimlessly as I did in the immediate vicinity which features several supermarkets, great shopping, and a ton of the classic architecture for which Riga is so deservedly well known. And if you’re ready to join the tourists in Old Town, it’s maybe a 15-minute walk.
I just loved this apartment- thank you so much, Ilze!
