We had a great stay in this wonderful apartment and can’t wait to visit again.
The location was good for us as we wanted somewhere quieter away from the old town, which is about a 15-20 min walk away.
The block feels very secure and the entrance and stairs were clean and well kept. There is a lift / elevator but we didn’t use it as we are fit and we only had small bags.
The block is very quiet, we didn’t hear any noise at all when we were there , from the outside or inside and only saw alone other resident.
The apartment is beautiful - large windows onto the street, high ceilings, hardwood floors, very tastefully decorated with a brand new kitchen and bathroom and elegant traditional furniture in the bedroom. It looks even better than the photos!
The lighting is very well thought through in the whole flat. It may seem a small thing but it really contributes to the style and function.
The flat feels very spacious - we were only two people and it was very comfortable, it would be fine for 3 or for a couple with two small children or one older child.
There are window seats with cushions in both rooms where you can sit with a coffee and watch the world go by on the street below. The mattress on the main bed is very firm, which may not suit everyone. There’s a spare blanket if you feel the cold.
The air conditioning works well and we used it a few times during our stay, even though it was late summer / early autumn. You’d certainly need it in a warm summer.
The flat is well equipped with everything you might need, everything seems brand new and is spotlessly clean.
The kitchen has a full oven and hob, large fridge and freezer, a good amount of cutlery, crockery, pots and pans and plenty worktop space to prepare meals or eat at the breakfast bar. There’s oil and vinegar, seasoning, teas, coffee and sugar - we really appreciate all these things as we like to cook breakfasts and other simple meals in the apartment.
There’s not a separate microwave, it’s part of the cooker, which isn’t immediately obvious. It’s a little tricky to use but we managed it with the instruction card.
The bathroom is very luxurious and spacious by European standards, with branded sanitary wear , beautiful large marble effect tiles, a large walk in shower and smart mirror. Even the lighting can be adjusted to your taste. Again there are thoughtful touches such as a hairdryer , toiletries and plenty good quality towels . It feels like a bathroom in a good hotel.
In the hallway there’s large floor to ceiling wardrobes with more space that you would ever need for your clothes, suitcases etc .
Communication with Kristina was very good. We had a problem with our self check in and she sorted this for us within 20 minutes, even thought it was very late at night.
I’d warmly recommend this apartment for your stay in Riga. Its not budget accommodation , it’s an alternative to a good hotel and is ideal if you enjoy a bit of comfort and space and the chance to cook some meals / order in.
