Charles" apartment was perfect for us! So convenient to everything we loved about Riga, such as the Opera House, the Small & Large Guild Halls, and restaurants. So easy to get to everywhere. We loved being up on the 3rd floor (4th in Latvian counting). Although, the non-working elevator made getting groceries and bags upstairs a bit of a workout! Great exercise, though. In the warmer months we could hear the choir practicing from across the street. We loved having a clothes dryer!!! The apartment manager was the BEST! He always responded immediately to any questions and offered to help us get our luggage downstairs before our departure. We would HIGHLY recommend this apartment to anyone, especially long stay. We'll miss our Riga home.
