Igors is a wonderful host. He went out of his way during my short stay in Riga for me. By that I mean he picked me up at the airport in the early hours of a Saturday morning. The flat he rented me is a few floors above a flat that caught fire during the weekend that i was there which marred my stay to say the least. I needed to vacate the flat given the considerable amount of smoke that had entered the premises and the black soot that was in the grates and all over the washroom. These are factors clearly out of Igors control. Nevertheless, it wasn't a good experience.
Igors did his best to salvage my stay. He brought me to another flat that he runs which was in much better shape to say the least. However, it's at the top of a building that doesn't have a lift. Those looking at the flats Igors runs should bear in mind the sofa bed that is uncomfortable in my estimation and the fact the flats are on the top floors of a buildings with an old lift or no lift at all. That said, Igors is a good guy and a good host.
