This is the ideal base from which to explore beautiful Riga. Dmitry is a great host, offering a warm welcome to a great apartment, along with hints and tips on how to get the most out of your visit to the city.
The locations is great, about 30 minutes in a taxi from the airport (for around €15) it’s on a quiet residential street about 15-20 minute walk from the heart of the old town. There is a local shop, a cafe, a bar and a petrol station all less than 5 minutes walk. Riga’s central rail station and main shopping centre is also around a 10 minute walk.
The apartment itself is fantastic, it’s spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean with amenities such as Smart TV, stereo, fridge, microwave, hob, coffee machine, air con, washing machine and strong, reliable WiFi. Little extra touches like guidebooks, maps, shampoo, plug adapters etc, also made a difference. The thing that tops this off is the stunning terrace, wonderful views across the city with amazing sunsets.
One possible drawback is that the apartment is on the 6th floor, but the lift stops at the 5th, no problem at all for us, but worth considering for visitors with mobility issues.
Overall though, this is the perfect place to stay in Riga and we can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely visit again.
