The key we got when we checked in didn't work with the downstairs door and this caused an issue where we were not able to get into the apartment building at around 22:00 at night, and also a fear of not getting out agains at night/early morning in the case of a fire alarm or other unwanted events. A neighbour had to let us in that night after we had waited roughly 30 minutes after contacting the property management. The issue with the key was resolved the next morning, and we got a new set of keys, but this was a very unpleasant experience, especially when traveling with a kid. I could not identify any smoke detectors in the apartment, which should be fixed, for safety reasons. There was a strange smell in the apartment when we arrived, but we had windows open and the smell went away. Designapartments should be clear about where the actual apartment is. Where we thought we were staying based on info in Booking.com was only a place for collecting keys, and the apartment itself was somewhere else. The location was still very good, but the difference in location was a strange surprise. A part of the payment was a cleaning fee, yet we were still asked to clean the apartment. The terms should be clearer and there should be an explanation of what the cleaning fee covers and what it doesn't cover. We only had to do dishes and vacuum, which is not a lot, but it should still have been better explained from the beginning.

Location and price was very good. The apartment was located right in the middle of Riga's old town, within walking distance of a lot of attractions, restaurants, bars, public transportation, shopping mall, convenience stores etc.

Attention to cleaning is needed, as some dishes were dirty when we went to use them. Please also fix the toilet door, as it doesn't close properly. Additionally, there were unnecessary items in the apartment, such as a shopping cart, cleaning buckets in plain sight, and the microwave on the floor, which clearly wasn’t working.

The apartment is well-located in the old city, close to major attractions.

No parking arrangements, but in old town, that's expected.. Could have been more tidier, but understandabe as there weren't many storage places in the apartment. Suggestion for improvement - provide more towels for guests, one for multiple days isn't enough :)

Location is great. Apartment seemed clean. To get into the apartment was fun and unusual but could get tricky if you have large luggage to haul.

Not as clean as I expected. Furniture Is quite old.

Position Is perfect: really near the center. The apartment has space enough for five people.

Very expensive car parking. Noisy environment, there is a Night Club downstairs. Apartment was somewhat poorly equipped, for example no coffee maker and only one kettle for cooking and only a few plates.

Location at the Old Town. Spacey and clean apartment

About 6 weeks after booking the "2-room studio apartment" (less than 2 weeks before our arrival!) someone from the apartament contacted us asking how many people would be staying. They feared 4 people would be too much for the studio... Then why do they advertise on Booking that this kind of studio has capacity for 4 people? Anyway, with such short notice we went with it anyway and it was fine - 2 people slept on a double bed in the room, and other 2 on a sofa-bed in the living room. Nevertheless, this discussion was an unpleasant situation - if the owners believe that the 2-room studio apartment is too small for 4 people, do not sell it for 4 people! Apart from that, the apartment has a scketchy entrance. Please do not be mislead by the "design" on "design apartaments", they are normal-to-a-bit-on-the-ugly-side apartment. The TV was not working. There was no place or availability to keep our luggage in the last day

Super central location in Riga city center, though with a scketchy entrance

Stayed in June 2024

In the booking there is photo of beautiful front of the building. In fact the building was in different place and shabby. While hosts informed that has places in different locations, I think it is quite misleading. The doors in the apartment were notably repaired, however It moved and looked like easy to force with stronger push. I did not feel comfortable to leave my things.

Really close to the old town. Big apartment, well equipped. Fast responses from the host.

Not very clean, kettle and stove didn’t work

Location

Stayed in August 2023

Apartment was on the 3rd floor - it was not a problem for me; but it could be for some people. No lids for the pan and saucepans :)

Location was good. Apartment was nice and spacious. Though I did not meet with the owner, I got answers to my questions quite promptly. Some parts of the apartment need repair (shower-room for example), but everything was still working at the moment. So it is maybe not for people who prefere something totally chic, but if you are a bit bohemian and are able to take it easy, the place is really for you.

As usual, parking is difficult in the old town. Fortunately, the host guided us and we found a parking space near the apartment in the old town. In July 2023, we were charged it for 40 eur/ 24h. In another place, we were able to negotiate the price down 20 eur/24h. The apartment was located on a 3rd floor of a building without an elevator. This creates difficulties for older visitors (just for information).

It was a fantastic location in the old town and by the Daugava river. You live in the old town within walking distance of attractions and eating places "LIDO". A very good sized apartment for a family.

The apartment was on the 5 floor, but in instruction was write abou 4 floor. Apartamen was good ,but not very clean. In the city centre.

The dishes were a bit dirty and required rewashing. The drain in the shower was apparently clogged, so you had to take shower very fast to prevent an overflow. The apartment was located on a 3rd floor of a building without an elevator.

Location is ideal. Apartments was generally clean. Toilet and bathroom rooms are separate. There is a washing machine.

Kitchen part was not cleaned really.. mattress in bed to soft for my taste

Perfect location in old town.. perfect organized at arrival

Keys are picked up and dropped off at a different address. When you are with suitcases and in a new city it is definitely inconvenient.

The apartment has both ++ and -- The location is in the heart of Riga, right in the center of the 'old town'. In combination with quite cheap price it's a big advantage. It's also really close to the bus station. Calm, quite neighbours. On the other hand, the comvenience might be much better. The floors were not clean, I had to wash them before my family (with 2 kids) arrived. Also there was no microwave and no simple kitchen products like salt, sugar, oil, tea.. Usually all the apartments always have this kind of set. Then the shower was always quite hot and it was really difficult to switch the tap.

The kitchen and floors were dirty and definitely needed a proper clean. But all other facilities were good

It’s in a central location and very convenient to walk to all the key sites in Riga

Apartment locates at 5th floor, no elevator available. It is real very tired to carry heavy luggage into the apartment. On weeken (Sat. Night), There is overnight party in bar. So noise with glass smashed, cream, loughing, from 9pm until 4 am. I almost,can not sleep. The bed is too soft.

Excellent location, at heard of old town. A few min walking to everywhere. And bed rooms,living room, and kitchen are very big.

Nice place to stay in Old Town, gorgeous view from window and perfect location

The accommodation is very nice. All key handover information arrived on time and was very clear. Communication with the host is absolutely perfect and fast. The apartment is very close to the center and therefore there are several bars nearby. So you have to take into account that you might hear the night life of the city from the street, however it is not disruptive at all.

Complicated parking if you're with a car

Really great location

We feel cheated. This is supposed to be a review of an accommodation. We didn’t even get to stay on night... We made a reservation for one night and it was accepted. I was told that further instructions concerning the check-in would be provided later and I got request to communicate by phone, not by email. On the day of check-in nothing has happened and I called the number provided. No answer(?). Then I got message from Booking.com that the credit card selected was invalid. What!? Definetily not the case, it was double-checked! Then the renter send a message that the apartment was double booked and we were the loosers. Great! So the reservation accepted and on what we were counting on with our schedule was a scam. Definetely not recommended.

Stayed in July 2024

Unpleasant: apartment was different than I saw in photos and address also different( address in Booking is address of office). Apartment was dirty: dirty flor, kitchen area, spider's- webs hanging from ceiling. Bathroom in bad status, old and dirty mat, things must be renovated.

Great location for those who want to stay in old town. Close to bus and train stations, restaurants and shops are around. Host was very helpful, was easy to check in and out. Safe area, more or less silent outside.
