The apartment is just as it looks in Anna's photos. Clean and well maintained it is good to have the place to yourself in a relatively quiet part of town. There are good connections to the city though, with lots of public transport nearby and a lots of different routes to take if you're walking in to the city.

Anna was friendly and cheerful on arrival, passing on the few important bits of information (wifi password, door code, etc.) before leaving me to get on with it. Be aware that the building itself is off the main street: head down a five metre lane to a small car park and you'll be in the right place.

Riga is a very attractive city, particularly in the old town at its heart. Having a spacious, private base from which to see it is a lovely way to see the city.
