The apartment is great! Really central and really good value for money the only issue I had with my stay was the communication. I never spoke to the host, all the communication was done with the co-host Liga.
After booking I hadn't heard anything from the Host for over 2 weeks so I messaged the co-host Liga to confirm the booking.
It was only then I got a reply.
I was never contacted by Liga unless I contacted her first and up until the night before we went to Riga i heard nothing.. I had to send a message at 8 p.m. to find out how we would get into the apartment the next day.
Even though we booked in November on the day of arrival she said she was too busy to meet us and wasint free till after 2pm when she had known for weeks we would arrive at 12.
We had to meet the cleaning lady who didn't speak English we were told to ask the taxi driver to call the cleaning lady so they could speak in Latvia and communicate that we were here to get the keys. With hosts in the past there was always a welcome package or something personal that gave you tips on the local area or basic things like the Wi-Fi password but with this stay there is nothing but a few flyers about attractions. All in all the communication is by far the worst I've ever had with an airbnb host and it spoiled the trip slightly.
Riga is a lovely city and the apartment is in a good location.. I'd recommend staying here but they really need to work on the hospitality side of being a host.
