We stayed at Edgars' for a week over Christmas holidays and everything was perfect. Good location(10 minutes to downtown), comfy beds, warm heating(temps dropped to -10C), lots of space. Communication with Edgars was very good. Highly recommended.
In the neighborhood there are two great restaurants: "Villamor" and "Lido". The first is very fancy, the second fast and cheap, both worth a visit. Blaumana iela has several good cafes for breakfast.
