We really enjoyed our stay at Anjela's apartment. It is ideally located in the heart of the old town which is perfect for stepping straight out to restaurants, supermarkets, bicycle rental, and other places to visit.
If you're coming for the marathon, Anjela's place is very close to the start and finish area (about 400m at a guess) and only 100m or so from the bag drop area (so you don't actually need to use the bag drop facilities at all).
On arrival we found the apartment to be spotlessly clean. Anjela arranged the transfer to and from the airport and gave us useful tips and guidance on what to see and visit during our stay.
The facilities at the apartment for cooking and preparing drinks are great, as was the space to hang and place clothes, while we also appreciated the powerful shower.
A couple of things to note would be:
- the mattress in the bedroom was a little soft for our liking, so we slept on the sofa bed which we found to be more comfortable (the sofa bed is a great option to have)
- bars and restaurants are close by and you can hear live music being played which goes on till around 11pm. Given that Riga is 2 hours ahead of the UK, there was no chance of us going to bed before 11pm so no problem for us!
All in all, a fantastic place to stay for your visit to Riga.
