I had a wonderful stay at Aija's studio. Firstly, the climb up to the 5th floor on a spiral staircase may be daunting to some, especially those who do not travel light. Knowing this ahead of time, I was prepared I did not find it to be a problem whatsoever during my 6-night stay. The location is superb, very close to bus and train transportation. There is plenty of shopping, restaurants, and things to see in the city center, many just a few blocks away, if that.
The apartment was well-equipped with amenities for cooking, and a very clean and modern shower area.
Aija was very kind, she gave me a detailed introduction to the apartment and suggested places to go and transportation ideas. I was grateful to have such a nice host with a personal touch.
On my next visit to Riga, Aija's place will definitely be on my short list.
