Nina made us feel very welcome upon arriving in Riga. As we had a late flight, she offered to pick us up and drive us to the apartment for a minimal fee. We had a minor problem with setting up the Internet on the first day, but Nina was quick to arrive at the apartment and sort this out for us.

The apartment was just as pictured in photos; very clean, very modern, and equipped with everything that we needed, including an iron and ironing board, as well as a blowdryer and generic ingredients for cooking, like spices and stock cubes. She offered us some suggestions for where to eat and was very friendly and insightful about what we should see on our short stay in Riga.

The neighbourhood is a reasonable distance away from the centre of town, and it only takes a 15-minute walk along the Brivibas Iela to get to most of the tourist sights. Along this road, there are plenty of convenience stores and kiosks, as well as late-night fast-food joints and bars, which is great if your flight arrives late, as ours did. It is also pretty much across the road from the La Rocca Revolution night club, which is the landmark that we used to guide taxis to where we were going.

We had a pleasant stay and we highly recommend Nina and her gorgeous apartment to anyone who wants to stay luxuriously in Riga for a killer price!
