The apartment is very clean, spacious and modern. It’s perfect for two friends/couples sharing as the bedrooms are opposite ends of the apartment separated by the living area - and each has its own bathroom.
The location has good transport links - you can buy a multi day bus pass and there are various stops nearby that take you into town/ the market / central station. I would definitely recommend that.
There aren’t any good supermarkets nearby but there is a small petrol station where you can get snacks and drinks. So get things in town and bring them back on the bus. There is a large supermarket in the central station.
The area around the apartment and towards the petrol station has a large number of derelict buildings and people around there who made me feel uncomfortable. But if you walk down from the apartment block towards town for the bus then that felt ok.
The door code on the door stopped working one day we were there - we both tried it several times and it just would not work. We contacted the owner but he wasn’t local. This was a big worry for us so I do think the owner should have a local contact in case anything goes wrong.
I’ve tried to be factual about my experience. Overall Riga was lovely. The apartment is lovely inside, but due to the location I wouldn’t choose to stay there again.
