The apartment is in a great location. Very short walk to everything that we wanted to see, including the Christmas market. It is not overly luxurious but certainly comfortable. The fireplace worked well and we were able to get firewood from Dace and that was a nice holiday experience. The elevator is old and small but it worked fine and made everything much easier for us. There are good bakeries and a liquor store nearby. The central market is close. and Overall we were very comfortable in the apartment.
