Old Riga Park Studio

It’s OK here- not terrible, not great, just about ok for a couple of nights. It is well located being a short and pleasant walk from the old town and is a decent sized space on 6th floor with a washing machine and bath which are both positives. We had specifically booked this place due to it having private secure onsite parking for a fee. Messages to the host to enquire about reserving a spot were ignored and when we arrived it became apparent that no such parking existed. Again the host was uncontactable. We parked on meters on the street nearby but the parking the listing alludes to I think is a public carpark a few minutes walk away. I did receive an abrupt message at midnight just giving the address of a nearby carpark by which time we had sorted ourselves out. Had we have known we would need to find public parking on arrival I’m not sure this would have been our chosen accommodation as we could have done this anywhere and would have gone for something a little more modern. The bedding and towels were very old, tatty and musty smelling which really let the place down. The bed was actually unpleasant to sleep on due to the smell and there is no ventilation which doesn’t help. With a few tweaks and better communication this could be a great place but it isn’t at the moment. It wasn’t awful but I personally wouldn’t book here again.

Apartment is a compact 1 bedroom in a good location close to transit, parks, and shops. It faces the courtyard and doesn't get direct sun for most ofthe day, and the bedroom has no windows. Several lightbulbs were burnt out so at night it was very dim. Check-in was partially explained - I got the key from a lockbox but hauled all my stuff up five flights of stairs before calling the host to learn that I needed to go down a side hallway, which had an elevator that wasn't mentioned in the listing (yay!). The place could use a deep clean, but it had a huge tub and a lot of storage in the closets and was overall an average spot - not bad, but not great.

Well located, spacious and functional apartment with good cable channels, Wi-Fi, kitchen and washing machine. The apartment is quite hot in summer and there is no ventilation in the bedroom. There is a mobile air-con unit but it leaks water onto the floor. Also, the low quality bed sheets did not fit the mattress and they became uncomfortable every night when they came loose. It is a shame that they didn't simply have proper sheets, and they should provide a top sheet.

Lovely place. Centrally located, making it an easy walk to the Old Town.

Apartment on 6th floor of a beautiful building. Short walk across a gorgeous park to the very centre of the old town. The apartment was warm and cosy with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Self check in (because of late arrival) was made easy by the instructions sent. Maybe could have mentioned it was on the 6th floor. Best bit was being able to have a hot, deep bubble bath at the end of a wintry days sightseeing
