Even though the first meeting was a bit unsure, Mira welcomed us after 20:00 without any problem and offered us a parking space in the backyard (for 5e/night). She walked us through whole apt. and recommended some places to visit. She also provided us with taxi phone numbers and other useful info. The apartment is in an old block of flats. The hallway looks like waiting for a renovation (flaked plaster, provisional doors) but the apartment itself is as described. There are some pleasant café places in the neighbourhood. If you don't use the backyard for parking there is a parking zone on the street so you have to pay. Can't fully evaluate safety in the neighbourhood as we stayed only 2 nights but there were some moments at night we didn't feel completely safe. The old city is within a walking distance. All in all, it was quite pleasant stay in mysteriously nice Riga!
