All information prior to arrival was accurate & prompt. Transfer from the airport was easy with a 5 day transport pass, bus to the centre then tram out to Kirils' (short of an hour). Less than 5 minutes walk from the tram stop. Kirils was there to meet us, give us the run down on the flat & make arrangements for our departure day. Excellent arrival.
Flat is brilliant- nice, quiet & airy. Slept like a log! Kitchen worked well.
Neighbourhood was ideal for us. Great brewery bar round the corner, a couple of takeaways (you can take your food back to the beer bar terrace!), good supermarket & a deli/restaurant + cafe. Top coffee & cake spot at the tram stop. Loads more within 10 minutes walk.
So you're not in the centre, you're only 15 minutes away & it's calm & green & it's simple to sort yourself out. Really easy place to stay. In a car it would be a dream compared to the centre.
Riga was great, the market an essential visit (great fish & veg), town full of interest. Cycling out on the coast from Majori a super day, slow train out to Sigunda a real country day out walking in the woods above the river, Cafe Doma a must.
So there you go, you won't beat Kirils' top floor flat. He even looked after our bags for us till evening on our last day. 5*stopover.
