Communication with Ivita was excellent. We arranged to meet at the apartment (though our texts in advance didn't seem to arrive) and she greeted us in the yard. She was pleasant and explained all the arrangements.

This is a lovely, cute old building with parking in the courtyard. The area is very interesting, with a lot of renovation and redevelopment happening. However, it is a little out of the old city, in an area on the other bank of the river, and there aren't many restaurants nearby. But it's an easy bus or tram ride into the centre.

The pictures show the bedroom well, but the kitchen/living room and bathroom were smaller than we expected. However all facilities were there. It was a fascinating piece of old Riga in which to stay - away from the touristed areas.
