The location is great if you want to explore the older parts of Riga. You can walk out and less than 100m away is the St Peter Church, and everything else that Riga has to offer.
We are confident that there are other tenants in the building because we occasionally heard muted conversation on the stairs, and one day some IKEA boxes appeared on the landing, but we only saw another tenant once as he entered his apartment. So it feels very private despite being in the center of Old Town Riga.
Plenty of room is available for bags and travel mess, including afternoon snoozes on the sofa before dinner.
Based on location alone this is a great place to book. Everything else is just a bonus.
