Although located somewhat in a back-area at the heart of Old Town Riga, this is a minimal but decent place that's good to stay at for a couple of days. In other words don't expect excessive comfort, but something you can perfectly make do with as well. However, the greatest downside to the apartment, I found, was that the building's central heating had not been turned on yet (in mid-October with outside temperatures of 15C and less) and lack of an electronic heater to warm the place up in the interim. Consequently, the place was bitterly cold (more so than outside) and not suited to spend large amounts of time in without warm clothing on (that is, more than just a warm woolen pullover). As such, the conditions were not suited to take young children along.
