This is a wonderful historic apartment in a fantastic location for visiting old Riga. The apartment is filled with antique furnishings and original art, and was very quiet except for the rare rumbling of a car on the cobblestone street (pedestrian zone except for residents). It was a five minute walk to the old town center, where we met up with a guide for a tour of the Art Nouveaux jewels of Riga (Smile Line).
We were met by Diana and quickly learned all we needed to know. We were able to reach Diana at a moment's notice, but rarely needed too.
It was a very short walk to the World Heritage market that is built into old Zeppelin hangers just beyond 13. Janvāra iela (take the pedestrian subway), and also to the Opera House.
A tip if you are driving to Riga: Park your car at long term parking at the Riga Airport (3.5€/day) and take the number 22 bus back, where it drops you near Stockmann. The 1.2€ fare beats the 14€ that a taxi will charge.
When we were doing the parking, we noticed a fantastic Air Museum (near long term parking P3) where you can get up close to many old MiG fighters and helicopters donated by the Latvian Air Force. Admission: 7€.
We would absolutely stay here again - a great AirBnB experience.
