It was a long term stay, 1 month 1 week, and from now on this will be amongst my Top 3 favourite AirBnbs in Rīga.
My husband and I felt so homey there that we didn't want to leave.
Andra's and Nauris's place is great in several aspects.
The location. The cleanliness. The high quality of the furniture and amenities. The reliable wifi. The comfy bed. The bathtub (again, not a cheap plasticky one, but a great big heavy original cast iron vintage bathtub). The view is rather nice as well. (I have stayed in another flat in the same building some floors higher up and can say that this place was slightly darker, but nothing too bad). The Smart TV box (I finally was able to watch some of the recent Latvian films that cannot be shown at home, in London). Ah yes, and it was warm there, another preference of mine. The heating can be turned up or down as it is supplied by a Junkers gas boiler.
Even when there occurred an issue, both hosts went extra mile, offered several solutions and it was fixed way quicker than I'd expected.
All in all - this is not your usual Airbnb. No wonky Ikea furniture or tasteless fake plants or cheap kitchen appliances. The things are substantial and the details and colour scheme clearly shows that the hosts do have a great taste and don't treat this place as a quick money making machine.
As Rīga is my hometown I choose Airbnbs there very meticulously and am probably a bit more fussy than an average tourist :) Yet this place met all my expectations and in many ways exceeded them.
My husband and I cannot praise this place enough. We genuinely enjoyed our long stay and it will definitely be our first choice for future visits to Rīga.
Thank you, Andra and Nauris!
