Arturs from the get go was very welcoming and would always respond quickly throughout our stay. The instructions to the apartment were very clear and the key was easily obtainable from the lock box.
We really liked the rustic Latvian interior of the place, it was very spacious and quite clean, with all the necessary amenities for our one week's stay. A freezer fully stacked with ice was just perfect during the June heatwave. The location of the flat is at a close proximity to a variety of shops, restaurants and bars in Vecrīga, so there was plenty to explore nearby. The wifi worked great and the variety of apps available on the TV meant we were able to catch up on our favourite shows.
There are a few things we thought could be a bit improved, however. Upon arrival, the floor did not appear to be cleaned beforehand. We also would like to mention that a communal laundry detergent at the flat would have been great, as one was not provided for the washing machine, nor was there any shampoo provided (although shampoo is mentioned in the listing description). We were going to a wedding so we also used the iron, which had some burn stains on it but unfortunately we didn't notice these until it was too late and the iron left some orange stains on a shirt. The only disadvantage of the location is the bar right next to the apartment building which is open until 6am, which a lot of previous reviews have mentioned. So we made sure to come prepared and brought some earplugs with us, which definitely helped with ensuring we got a good night's sleep every night - so that would be our recommendation for whomever would like to stay at this flat, especially over the weekend when the bar is livelier.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider this flat again upon our return to Rīga. Thank you!
