Me and my wife rented this AirBnB for our honeymoon trip to Riga for 5 nights. Looked great in the listing but we both agreed after our stay that the only good thing about it is the location. You're right by the Freedom Monument, and just minutes of walking from all the classic Old Riga sights like Riga Doms, St Peters cathedral, Blackhead Guild, etc.
The bad part was everything else. We stayed here from Friday to Wednesday. On our 3rd night we were woken up at 2 am by someone scrambling back and forth across the skylight in the room where we slept. Not only was it jarring, as I watched a man scramble on all fours across the skylight but a complete invasion of privacy. If you are a woman, or group of women renting this apartment, be aware that somebody can easily gain access to the roof and watch you sleep for hours and you wouldn't even notice. Someone could also easily break in through the skylight. I messaged the management, got an apology and an explanation that there is a hostel next door which is where the intruder was likely from. Maybe it was a tourist wanting to see Riga from a rooftop at 2 am.
Our neighbors across the hall were a bunch of young people who were constantly loud and drinking, their door was regularly open with loud music playing. This went on for several days. We came across empty beer cans in the hallway on our floor, on the way to breakfast in the morning. They woke us up during the night several times.
The wifi was broken pretty much the entire time we were here. We had to connect to some far away networks that didn't belong to the building. I mostly used the network for the bar downstairs (BeerHouse #1) as St Roland WiFi kept dropping and some St Roland WiFi networks didn't even have internet. This ended up being a major problem as my only way to contact my relatives here in Latvia was WhatsApp voice calls and I couldn't even place or receive a call from the apartment most of the time. I ended up being unable to get a hold of and see one of my relatives whom I wanted to see very much largely because of this.
I'm typing this review on my phone's notepad right now, waiting for the wifi to come back. Messaged the management in the morning through the Airbnb app because the wifi got progressively worse during the stay, it's been 8 hours and I still havent received a reply.
EDIT: We checked out 24 hours later and I never heard from the host about the wifi.
The whole booking for 5 nights cost us $726 and I definitely made a bad decision here. Would have been much better off by checking into a 3 star hotel for $50-100/night or just paying the $150/night and getting a 4 or 5 star hotel.
There is a washer but there is no dryer, it's just a dryer rack so plan accordingly. Our first load took over a day to dry.
There is a rain shower but the flow is very weak. I ended up switching to the handheld showerhead, putting it into the holder which was mounted at waist level and taking a shower while kneeling on my knees. I'm 6 feet tall.
If you're looking at renting this apartment, don't do it. There's plenty of other airbnbs better than this and looking back even a 3 star hotel would have been a way better value.
Run, don't walk from this place and I'd suggest looking for something else in a similar location.
