Set within the centuries-old Jacob’s Barracks—right at the edge of Riga’s Old Town—this third-floor apartment offers a practical, self-contained stay in one of the city’s most characterful locations. Modest in style but comfortably equipped, the space includes a compact kitchenette, dining area, bathroom, and a living area with one queen size bed and two single beds. On-site parking is available at the building entrance for €24 per 24 hours (Europark Jēkaba Arkāde parking lot).

The space

The apartment includes:
Kitchenette with essentials for simple cooking: a portable electric stove, fridge, kettle, Senseo coffee machine, dishes, and basic pantry items. Enjoy your meals at the dining table which seats four.

The main sleeping area includes one queen-size bed and two single beds, making it suitable for families or friends traveling together. A work desk, generous closet space, and fast Wi-Fi support longer stays or remote work days.

The bathroom features a combined bath/shower, toilet, and sink, with a hairdryer provided. Iron and ironing board, as well as a baby high chair, are also available.

Windows overlook a quiet inner courtyard and parking area, buffered by trees—an unusual calm for such a central location. While there’s no elevator, the short climb rewards you with a retreat tucked above street-level noise.

Just downstairs, you’ll find cafés and restaurants, while Riga’s green heart—Bastejkalns Park and the city canal—is just a minute away.

The neighbourhood

You cannot have a better location - all tourist attractions are just few steps away (Līvu square, Freedom Monument, Cat's House, House of Blackheads, St. Peter's Church etc.). There is a nice, trendy cafe on the first floor of the building, and and many more within walking distance. You can also easily order food to your home by using Wolt services and your dinner will be delivered right to the apartment.

Nice apartment, perfect for 4 people. Really close to the center (Christmas fair), a 2 min walk. All the amenities in order, as described. There is also a restaurant next to the building, in handy if you're not in the mood for walking.

Просторное жилье с отличным расположением. За эти деньги - прекрасное предложение. Из минусов - немного изношенная ванная комната. В остальном я остался доволен

Ho soggiornato in questo Airbnb a Riga e nel complesso mi sono trovato molto bene. La posizione è centralissima, perfetta per esplorare la città, e la casa è pulita e accogliente. La camera da letto è particolarmente comoda, con un letto matrimoniale davvero confortevole. L'unica nota negativa riguarda il bagno, che non mi ha convinto del tutto, e la presenza di un po' di polvere sotto il letto. Inoltre, per il prezzo pagato, ho trovato l'assenza dell'ascensore un po' scomoda, soprattutto per trasportare i bagagli a mano. Nonostante questo, l'esperienza è stata positiva e lo consiglierei per un soggiorno a Riga.

A lovely place, very spacious. However, wasn’t aware that there is a music fountain just outside the apartment, where music starts ar 10:00 and finishes at 1 am.

Great location and comfy apartment with everything you need. Easy to find and get into the apartment. Upon arrival the room wasn't cleaned yet, so we had to text and wait for the cleaners to clean the apartment. But the issue was fast solved and the rest of the stay went well.

Overall a good and well kept place. Good location to explore city. The parking house behind the building is easy to reach. The kitchen has only one plate, which reduces cooking possibilities. The bedding was delivered promptly after we contacted the host.
