We were provided with very helpful directions from the bus station (where we were arriving from Tallinn) to the apartment and Julijs (a friend of the host's who works with him facilitating the airbnb rentals) came out to meet us and give us a very charming introduction to the apartment.

We could not have had a better location in Old Riga, and the apartment and views were beautiful. I would warn travellers that reaching the apartment requires several flights of stairs (five?) so if mobility is an issue this is probably not the place for you. The sun also rises very early during the Latvian summer (at 5 a.m. in May) and there are many windows without drapes so it can be very bright.

Overall a beautiful experience.
