According to photos & description it supposed to be nice & smooth, unfortunately it wasn't. The location of apartment is awesome & convenient, no problem with that. House itself is renovated & felt secure. Apartment floors & walls were clean. But those are basically the only advantages.
Apartment did not have or had limited basic appliances. For example, kitchen had only one 10 years old, completely burned & destroyed frying pan, which is weird, since you can book this apartment for 4 days minimum, so it is expected that guests will cook. There was no salt & pepper, except several free restaurant paper packs, no oil, poor or missing cutlery set, broken knife, no scissors & so on.
Kitchen itself was kind of disaster, dirty mugs, greasy cupboards handles, very greasy extract, broken fridge lights. Fridge itself also did not provide enough cold temperature, so our groceries were spoiled after 2 days, despite still valid expiry date. Absolutely awful half working, rusty & dirty microwave.
Apartment had a burned iron that left stains on our clothes.
The good part that after contacting a host the situation with pan & iron was resolved. The host was friendly, so thanks for that. However, I am not a fan of wasting my vacation time searching for pan & iron in stores around Riga.
One more weird issue is that apartment has very weak airflow, so it is almost not possible to ventilate, air just not coming in. So only solution is to leave entry door open for at least some air.
The sheet was without elastic & too small which makes no sense, you can't tuck it in so after an hour, it goes it single place & does not fit the bed. In other hand one sheet was sewed to mattress, so it can't be taken off & washed, probably because mattress is super dirty. In the apartment listing window blinds were in description. But in reality there were no any, that makes impossible to arrange day sleep for kids. So I was forced to go to construction store & buy some black plastic film & attach/detach it every day.
The cheapest furniture, be careful not to break something, just pulling the drawers. In the bedroom, ceiling lamp is styled like football ball (which I suppose is intended for kid bedroom & differs from photos) it’s not playing essential role, but shows attitude of host. Sofa had stinky smell.
It is not apartment issue, but this property is not suitable for families with small kids, hard to reach the apartment with baby stroller & you are not allowed to leave it downstairs. Also it is quite noisy with an open windows, you can hear all the motors from the Brivibas. Not a problem with a closed window though.
Usually I am not writing negative reviews, since I know that there can be some issues & that is normal, but if it would be only one or two issues, no problem, but this was just too much. Overall very disappointing experience, waste of money and ruined vacation.
