We were met by Sergey's friend Julius who was extremely friendly, polite and helpful. We particularly appreciated the warm welcome when he met us at the flat right on time even after our flight had been delayed for several hours. He had even messaged us earlier to check we were ok following seeing the flight had been diverted.
The flat is exactly as shown in the pictures and is bright, airy and had plenty of room to accommodate the four of us. Alongside this it has some great views over the rooftops of the old town.
The location of the flat is perfect for visiting the old town and as a base for exploring the rest of Riga as it is only a short walk from the range of museums, restaurants and bars in the old town, along with being close to the central market, bus stops and train station.
