Ruta’s place fit my needs perfectly for an extended stay in Riga. It is located close to tram lines, and is only a short tram ride or 30-minute walk to the old city. Quiet and comfortable, and just steps away from a large, well-stocked grocery store. Riga was a perfect jumping off place for my travels around Europe, with the airport just 20 minutes away, and bargain flights to many great locations.
