What an amazing place to stay. The apartment is absolutely beautiful, bigger than it appears in the images and immaculately clean. I loved the furnishings and the detailed touches like the books and the records that were there for our use. It is very contemporary but we felt comfortable and at home within minutes. The mood lighting, ice on tap from the fridge and bath robes all help to make it a home from home. Valerijs is a perfect host. I asked a few questions before I arrived and he always answered promptly. He was there to meet us on our arrival and was willing to direct us to any amenities that we needed. He had written mini guides to everything in the apartment , which was especially helpful with the myriad of remote controls that there were for all of the electrical gadgets. The location is perfect for a quiet stay in the city. It was only a 20 min walk to the old town and easy to find. We didn't feel the need to use public transport but it was located at the end of the street. The temperature in the apartment was perfect even though it was very cold outside. Its the first city I have stayed in where I was inclined to spend as much time in my accommodation as I spent roaming the city..........and that is unheard of..... I could not recommend it enough... the perfect place to stay.
