I stayed at Ilona’s place for a couple of nights. Everything was as described, perfect location very close to the centre (10 mins walking or less with bus/tram). The big pro was that there are two door locks to access the apartment so it’s super safe. The only little minus was the absence of light on the current floor and some homeless scavenging for stuff on the outer bins in the courtyard. The area is generally safe, so I might return if I’ll be back to Riga!
