The apartment is in the perfect location for easy access to public transport, the old town and many restaurants and bars and yet there is no noise from outside once in the apartment. The outside space was a lovely bonus and had the sun for most of the day. The apartment has a quirky layout with some large steps leading up to the outside space and the kitchen sink is actually a porcelain bathroom sink across the corridor from the main kitchen, neither of which caused a problem for us. The only downside is the apartment next door which due its size can potentially be booked by large groups (11 guys on a stag party while we were there) but that said Imants was on hand to deal with any issues promptly and their presence did not spoil our stay.
