We enjoyed our stay in Andris's lovely apartment. It was quiet and comfortable, breakfast overlooking his pretty garden was a bonus -sadly it wasn't warm enough to sit on the deck. The apartment is in a large old house, slightly hidden away in the courtyard of a huge mansion block which made the location quiet. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance and his suggestions for visits were good. The Café Mute nearby was good, breakfast there was great. Riga is a really interesting city, we also visited Jurmala which has a super beach. The National Library and the National Art Gallery are must sees as on a more sombre note is the Cheka, former KGB HQ around the corner from the apartment. We would like to return to explore more of Latvia.
