Christoffer's place was amazing! It was the perfect location to get to nearly all of Riga's attractions just by walking: Riga's old town, city center, Agenskalns. To get across town and get to the zoo, we would have needed to use Bolt or public transportation but that's fine. There were a lot of buses and trains in the neighborhood. There's also Plenty of wonderful restaurants and cafes just within 5 mins of walking outside.
Minor detail that you should be aware of but weren't really a hindrance - The front door is not broken but you do need to enter the code a couple of times, really pressing down hard on the numbers, to make sure the correct code is entered before going into the apartment complex. We usually got in on our second or third try. Bring slippers because the floors can be a bit cold due to the weather and rough material, which is normal.
As for the set-up, Christoffer's engineering eye really shines. Every little detail of the
apartment was efficient. From the layout of the apartment to how the lights were wired to the easy check-in/out process and the handy instruction manual, he gives you about the apartment and city!
