The location of the apartment is really perfect. It is situated at the north of the old town so that you can visit all the old buildings and also go to restaurants and barlounges. There is a supermarket & big mall (galerija centrs) for shopping at 5 minutes walk and there is no car on the way to the mall. It is opened everyday up to 9pm. You can also decide to go to new Riga. It is easy because the apartment is also close to this as well.
The apartment is in a lively neighbourhood. You may hear in the distance some music. My host was very good. She was on the spot when i rung. She was available on the day & responsive when i required her services. Meanwhile she was very respectful of my privacy.
The apartment is super safe and it has many protection doors. It is like a cocoon and you don't feel any cold. I forgot to say the internet worked really well. 1Mb/s all the time.
