Very nice ,clean Apartment , central , some 15 mins walking distance to the Old town .
around 18-20 mins with a cab to the airport ( i used taxify (bolt) it costed around 8 €.
Didnt meet Vladimir but Communication with him was v good.
The apartment is located on the 6 th floor -there are no elevators as it is a very old building. So not ideal for old people or people who have trouble with stairs.
But to summarize a very good base to explore Riga.
