I can only sincerely recommend the place. The location is awesome. You are in the middle of everything that is worth attention and knowing. There is still some distance, 1.5-1.7 km, to the Old Town, but it's walkable and you'd be walking through some attractive areas, whichever of the parallel streets you'd choose toward the historical core, Baznicas, Brivibas, Terbatas or Skolas. Plenty of stores and amenities around. The closest grocery, Rimi Express, just round the corner on Brivibas iela. Another grocery is across the street on the same Brivibas. Two pharmacies, one of which is open round the clock. Some nice cafés a few steps away from the apartment. The area itself is historical and very beautiful from the architecture point of view. The church, St Gertrude, is of a great esthetical addition to anyone's day just to pass by and rest your eye on something gorgeous. The apartment is small and perfect for two, with everything you need in it. You would even find a small spot for your yoga in the living room if you wish, since smaller items in the room are easy to rearrange. The kitchen didn't have a coffee cooker, only a presser, but it was rather cute, too, - making coffee the French style for a change. The wifi was good for two, if uneven in strength at times. What annoyed a bit was the smell from the pizzeria below the apt. It wafted us when we arrived and we never got used to it, since it seems to linger in all corners of the place (most probably because the pizzeria practically never stops?). The inner yard is a nice, natural base for your car, and it would only win a huge lot if it were less muddy as it really was during the rainy Christmas week we spent in Riga. During the weekdays, the parking capacity of the yard is clearly over limit, and once you've left in the morning, you'll not be able to park in the yard until after 7 or 8 in the evening. Luckily, there is a level parking lot on the other side of the church, where you will always find a spot (for a fee that is, a even slightly cheaper than on the street that is also very crowded during the day). That is what you get if you choose a nice base in a very busy part of the city :) Anyway, as said, a very good value for money, and a good quality.
