We've stayed in only one place in Riga, so we are not really capable of comparing but still: we are pretty sure we were in the best possible of all locations! In particular if you care about location, it cannot get better than this. You are right in the heart of the bustling Old Town but still in a very calm apartment. And its supercozy, too. The second most popular part of town, the Jugendstil-Viertel, also is in short walking distance, and so are train and bus station. And basically all walks lead through a park. Irena is probably the most welcoming and knowledgable host we've had anywhere with great tips for everything. Communucation and check-in were supereasy. We would love to come back.
