Igors' place was lovely. It's an old building tastefully restored & modernised. The apartment is great for a small family, we travelled there with our two toddlers. They had the bedroom, we had the (very comfortable) sofa bed.
This beautiful apartment was well furnished and equipped, it had everything we needed. It's around the corner from a supermarket, and in a lovely up and coming neighbourhood where there are some great family dining options.
It's on several bus / tram routes, so it's easy to get into the Old Town or the newer parts of the city, within 15 minutes. For the kids there were a couple of small playgrounds at the apartments across the road by the shop, and of course lot's in the parks in the city centre.
Igors had left some lovely touches for us - we arrived late at night and the sofa bed was made up for us, there was milk & basics in the fridge, and Latvian chocolate on the table. I can't recommend this place highly enough for a young family - it's great.
