The apartment is located not far from Riga center. You have two food shops very close- Rimi and Maxima. Also a park which is equipped with workout gear is nearby. It is an old house but apartment is renovated. You have everything you need, also two heaters if you feel cold and extra blanket. The bathroom was giving a noise when you flash toilet or take a shower but it is related to the drainpipe system, it was scary in the beginning because I didn't understand what's going on. Overall it was a good experience. We loved seeing pigeons in the yard hanging around each time you leave the place. Recommended!
