We really enjoyed our week in Riga. Gita cheerfully accepted that we were to arrive late in the evening and had thoughtfully supplied the basics for a meal. Maps and tourist leaflets were available in the flat in several languages and we had no trouble finding our way around the city and getting to all the places we wanted to see. From the flat it is about 15 mins walk to the old town or there are buses and trams nearby. The flat was clean and tidy and equipped with all basic necessities. A drawback for the less fit is that the building has no lift and it is 94 steps up to the flat.
