We loved staying in this area "the real Riga" and enjoyed the well-equipped flat very much! Karlis was very hospitable and we went to places he recommended: don't miss the cafe pavillion ziedondarz in the nearby park!
There are plenty of options of trams and buses and transportation around, and we also walked to town. Living opposite the chocolate and cake factory and shop was very handy when it happened to be my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to buy a cake in the morning. It was yummy!
