Small, clean, updated and well-located accommodation

We were surprised at how small the room was, and that the bed was a futon. But it was nicely updated and very clean, and had a lovely view of the park across the street. Easy walking distance to the opera house and historic district.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 May 2025
Miriam was respectful, communicative, and left the space in excellent condition. She offered feedback during and after her stay, which I appreciated. As noted in the listing, the space is compact and includes a high-quality sofa bed—hopefully future guests will find the detailed description helpful in setting expectations. I’d be happy to host her again!

The stylish Berga Bazārs – Riga’s swankiest shopping courtyard – is literally around the corner.

What makes this property unique

Stay in a heritage-listed building that once housed the National Library of Latvia in the heart of Riga’s city centre! Our apartment is situated in a prime location, with a nice unimpeded view directly overlooking the park across the street – the charming Vermanes Garden.

You’ll be within walking distance of all the historic places in the Old Town, as well as iconic attractions, sightseeing sites, key landmarks, and cultural spots. From the bustling Riga Central Market to serene city parks, everything is just a stone’s throw away.

Enjoy the added convenience of being close to the railway station, bus station, and public transport links.
