Guntis is a wonderful host. He was readily available and greeted us right when we arrived. The apartment is in a beautiful location with pretty views right next to the Swedish gate and a couple fantastic bars. We never struggled with noise, either! On Saturday morning we were greeted with a beautiful quiet saxophone melody around 10am from the courtyard, it was perfect! Location was great for an Old Town Riga visit.
The interior was pristine - lots of small touches (his son provided a list of places to try out, and there was a hair dryer and other items for use in the kitchen and bathroom) that made it feel very upscale but also homey. We were two couples and did just fine with the one bedroom and the extra couch which pulled into a bed (surprisingly comfortable) - an added curtain helped provide privacy to the living room as well. The place was bigger than I expected based on the photos and worked perfectly for a long weekend!
Absolutely loved our stay and would recommend over and over. Thank you, Guntis!
