A very bohemian place in a grand period building, right on the western end of Elizabetes Iela, near the Daugava River.

Gita’s flat is on the top floor of the building overlooking the Kronvalda Park, the large rooms have lots of beautiful natural light flooding through big windows, and was pleasantly cool during our stay, even with temperatures reaching 28 degrees during the day. There’s a well equipped kitchen for making breakfast or cooking if you should wish to do so.

The flat is a short walk from Rīga’s Art Nouveau Museum (which is well worth a visit!) and the surrounding streets have many fine examples of richly ornamented buildings from the period. Downstairs is a lovely Azerbaijani restaurant. It is very easy to get to the flat, there's a tram stop just across the road with easy access to the main train station and the International coach station by the Central Market, which has busses to and from the Airport.

Gita was an excellent host, she waited for our late arrival, and showed us around, she was very responsive and quick to reply to any questions we had.
