Initially there was a problem with the heat which the host took care of right away. It was very cold, so the host bought an oil/electric heater. This changed what might have been a disaster to a comfortable experience.
The apartment is on the 6 floor and there is no elevator. Being so high up, it can take a while for the hot water to heat up. This is probably the only negative about this place.
The location is excellent. It is in the middle of oldtown with many restaurants close by. The Galleria Centrs shopping mall just 100m away with a Rimi grocery store. Transportation is close by. There are several tram routes right outside. The bus 22 stop going to the airport is 300m. The intercity bus station 400m. The train station 500m.
This place is quite large and relatively modern. The pictures show it well. There are 3 sets of skylights in each room giving a bright appearance during the day. One window on each set is remotely powered. It can be opened and closed remotely along with the blinds. The skylights along with the mural of the sandy beach serve to brighten this place up significantly.
The kitchen is well equiped. There are good quality pots and pans, 3 frying pans with 1 non-stick in very good condition. There is also a microwave oven, a toaster and a kettle.
Noise wise, I could not here any street noise at all. In one room, I could hear the neighbours, but in the bedroom, most importantly, I could not hear anything.
This is a large place with an excellent location at a moderate price.
