I stayed at SHED for the first few months of my stay in Riga and overall it was a great experience. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well-equipped, and having your own kitchenette and bathroom was great. It is also a short walk to a very large shopping centre and public transport options, making it a great location. Sanda and Anna were great! They were both attentive and responsive, going out of their way to assist their residents with any issues.
I've been living at Shed Co-living in Riga for 3 years now, and I can confidently say it’s been nothing short of amazing! 🏡💛 I’ve never faced any serious problems here. Instead, I found a real home away from home, where I met some of my dearest friends and truly settled into a new country during my studies 🇱🇻📚.
What makes Shed even more special are the wonderful managers, Anna and Sanda they’re always here to help with anything, and they genuinely care about us. They support us, cheer for us, and are just happy to see us grow. Their kindness means the world! 💫🌷
Yes, I’ve seen some negative reviews, but I honestly don’t agree with them at all. After 3 years here, I can confidently say this is a perfect place for any student looking for comfort, warmth, and unforgettable memories. ✨💖 My brightest moments and most cherished memories were made here, and I’m forever grateful to Shed for making my student life so special and cozy. Thank you, Shed! 💕🌟

WORST PLACE IN RIGA!
I lived there for a year and i can honeslty say,
Service is horrible.. starting from head manager Sanda to front office manager Anna.. They are so rude.
It is so loud, full of racism and violence. Gym is tiny. Internet is bad. Location is far away from uni. you need to walk long 15 mins only to tram station or bus. constant random fire alarms at any time. be ready for them to enter your room without any consent because as they say "they have the right you signed the contract" even mid sleep or shower. they only care about money and fines. if something brakes it wont be fixed.
If you are a parent reading it, don't send your daughter to SHED. Save her the humiliations of whistles from men, sexual comments and approaches.
SHED owners i hope you read this and know how your managers Sanda and Anna are behaving.. people are afraid to complain from fear of fines and honeslty there is no one to complain to. The email to complain on them is theirs and they will not provide any other email. In this way, they control everything and no complaints can be made about them. i took the time to do so here publicly hoping something will change for the tenants there and future tenants.
That was my awful experience.
Worst Experience of My Life.
I lived at SHED and I truly wish I hadn't. This place was an absolute nightmare from day one, and I feel it's important to share my experience so others don’t go through the same.
Let me start with the safety issues which are beyond concerning. There were multiple instances of verbal and even physical harassment, including sexual comments and behavior, especially directed at women. Complaints to staff were ignored, and nothing was ever done to make the place safer. It felt like they just didn’t care, as long as they were getting paid.
Racism was another huge issue. Openly tolerated and never addressed even when reported. There was a clear culture of neglect and discrimination here, both from some tenants and the staff.
On top of that, there were constant problems with people smoking indoors cigarettes and weed and again the staff did nothing. The noise levels were out of control, with parties almost every night, loud music from rooms, and tenants yelling at all hours. If you're trying to study, concentrate, or simply sleep, forget it. not to mention there are construction sites nearby, adding even more noise every single day.
The staff was incredibly rude and unhelpfull. They only cared about fines and money nothing more. Maintenance issues were never resolved. If something broke, you could expect it to stay broken for months. And they are very quick to charge ridiculous amounts from your deposit for the smallest things. I was charged over 100 euros for something extremely minor.
The gym is tiny, WiFi is unreliable, and basic things like vacuum cleaners were almost never available. You even have to pay extra just to do your laundry, which often isn’t possible because the machines are always in use.
Worst of all, there is a total lack of privacy and boundaries. Staff entered my room without consent, even when I was in the shower. I was shocked and terrified. This was one of the most unsafe and uncomfortable experiences I’ve ever had.
The whole building constantly smelled like cigarettes and weed, and the fire alarms went off all the time, which added even more stress.
I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT live here. There are better, cheaper, and much safer options in the city. I regret ever moving in and I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially not to women or students looking for a peaceful, respectful environment.
Save yourself the stress. SHED is a BIG NO.
🌟This place is amazing! If you’re a student looking for a safe and comfortable place to stay while you’re studying then THIS is the place!
📍Location —> ideal! Close to train station, shopping center and city center.
🎯Everything you need is here (room with all essentials, fast internet, common kitchen, gym, game room and playstation, study room, laundry room etc.) + very helpful and friendly staff. They are always happy to help, if you have any questions.
🏠I highly recommend choosing SHED Co-living as your home!
I had a very disappointing experience at this place. For the high price compared to other accommodations in Riga, I expected much better service and conditions. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
One of the major issues was that we were charged from our deposit for a broken faucet that was already damaged before we moved in. We are responsible guests and reported the issue to the reception immediately, but no one came to fix it during our stay. After we left, we were informed that the cost would be deducted from our deposit, which is completely unfair.
The rooms are also very noisy, and on several occasions, there was a strong smell of weed coming from other rooms, which made the environment uncomfortable.
Overall, this place made my Riga experience worse, and I would not recommend it to others. There are better options in the city that offer more value.
I stayed at SHED Co-Living Riga for a few months and overall had a good experience. The rooms are modern and come fully furnished, which made moving in super easy. I really liked having a private bathroom and kitchenette, but also appreciated the shared spaces like the gym, co-working area, and rooftop terrace – great for meeting people.
The community vibe was a big plus, with regular events and a friendly atmosphere. If you’re looking for a hassle-free place to live with everything included, SHED is a solid option.🩷
