Iluta's apartment is in a prime part of Riga, in the heart of the Old Town. The lively squares, old churches, scenic facades, and the like are just steps from the front door. Yet, the apartment has the advantage of being tucked on a side street, shielding guests from the bustle of the Old Town (welcome for those of us that go to bed on the early side, as Riga boasted a fun and lively nightlife during our summer stay).

The apartment itself was furnished with everything we needed, with high ceilings. Very comfy for relaxing in those instances we didn't feel like going out. Iluta wasn't able to meet us, but she and her friend who did meet us were exceedingly friendly, communicative and helpful. Case in point, when an issue arose with the wifi, she quickly addressed it.

I don't hesitate to recommend staying at Iluta's apartment and will certainly stay again the next time I visit Riga.
