Ivi and her husband were great hosts, very welcoming and accommodating. We really appreciated the ease of communication, tips provided and them allowing us to store our bags at their flat outside check-in times.
The apartment itself is in a lovely wooden house set just off a road brimming with character. It is designed well, and is a lovely place to relax, particularly with the wood burner keeping you warm on a cold winter night. My only suggested addition is to include a iPod dock / music player in the flat.
While not in Central Riga, it's a nice 30-40 minute walk from the apartment across one of the bridges to the Old Town and the Inner City. Alternatively the apartment is well connected by trams and buses, and taxis are plentiful and cheap.
The few cafes in the local area are cheap and provide high quality food - particularly Cepiens.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay in Riga and would definitely check-in with Ivi if we were back in town.
