Janis place is a great place! It's got everything you can wish for and some more. It is located at walking distance from the old town and there's also a great park just across the road. Janis is very quick in answering your mails and very helpful, providing all information you might need on how to get there from the airport, and many suggestions of where to find nice places to vist, restaurants, excursions.... In short: great value for money. If you are thinking of visiting Riga, Janis' place will be an excellent starting point.
