I stayed for one month at Kristine's apartment. My experience was nothing but satisfactory, she was always available in case I needed something. The apartment is equipped with everything you need to live comfortably, furniture is new or in very good shape. It is close to a bus stop that takes you to the Old town, and a supermarket is not very far away by foot.

Riga is a beautiful city and it is an excellent base point if you want to travel in the baltic countries as it is right in the center of them. You will be just 4 hours away from Vilnius or Tallinn with very comfortable and cheap busses.

The neighbourhood is very quiet so it is not very touristy, I would strongly recommend for longer stays.
