“This feels like discovering a secret in Riga: a small, carefully restored building where the rooms blend IKEA practicality with touches of real craftsmanship. The shared kitchen and living spaces encourage a sense of community, while its central location puts you within easy reach of the city's cultural heart. For those who value atmosphere and thoughtful design over generic luxury, this could be the ideal base.”
