First and foremost I must thank Alex for letting me be his guest in a short notice of just a week. I was booked at an another apartment and my host happened to cancel the booking due to a medical emergency on 20-Dec. I contacted Alex on 23-Dec and he obliged to be my host and all went well thereafter.
The Communication- The communication both prior and during the stay was excellent. Alex was out of town but still the checkin was a breeze. He proactively called me to explain everything over the phone which was so nice of him. I met him when he returned a day later.
The Location- The Apartment is approx 40 mins trolley bus drive away from the Riga Coach Station and 25 mins in a taxi. Its a quiet residential area and is in a 3 min walking distance to a nearby bus station. You have a couple of departmental store nearby for your daily needs. In all a very nice locality.
The Apartment- Situated on the 2nd floor the apartment is thoughtfully designed to stock all amenities. You have everything that you can think of- fully functional bathroom with heated water, fully functional kitchen including- gas stove, refrigerator, Oven all utensils, a heater, a comfortable bed with pillows and a balcony too.
The Host- Alex is a very learned man. I am glad I met him. He was very kind to offer me dinner during my stay and our dinner time included intelligent conversations on various topics including economics, sociology, health and fitness et al. Can’t thank him enough for his hospitality.
The Verdict- Its a 5 star all through. I loved my stay and I am sure you won’t regret booking this apartment either. There’s no room for any complaints at all. You win a friend in Alex when you stay at his apartment.
