The apartment is really clean and fresh from the inside, the building on the outside was more old but that didn't make any difference to us. Zane is a great host that always assisted us and helped whenever we asked her anything. She answers quickly and always made us feel very comfortable. I would recommend staying at her place if you're visiting Riga. Although you should be aware that the apartment is in an older part of the city and if you're there for pleasure you might want to stay at a the other side of town.
