Janis' apartment was perfect. We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay. The location was great, a 20 minute walk to the center or a cheap taxi ride away. You could also take public transport as it is widely available, however a taxi was only 4-5 euros per ride, so this was what we did.
The apartment is very clean and new. It has everything you might possibly need during your stay, including maps and guide books of Riga.
There is a television with many channels, a washer to do your laundry, and a fantastic bathroom to wash off after a long day.
Access in and out of the building is very simple and with a 24/7 security guard we felt very safe.
The view from the apartment is simply amazing with views of the Daugava River right outside. Riga is such a beautiful city. We will be back, and we will certainly be staying with Janis again. You will find no better place to stay.
