Ieva and Alex’s home was a wonderful gathering place for our extended family at the end of busy sightseeing days. We had plenty of space, lots of bathrooms, and all our daily needs were met quickly if not already provided. The location was ideal as it was walking distance from a food market, several good restaurants and the center of Old Town Riga. The neighborhood may appear a bit run down but it was a fascinating quirky blend of historic old wooden architecture, Art novo buildings, and had a up and coming energy with young families and artists mingling in the eateries and on the sidewalks. You get a true feel of Latvian middle class life here! Ieva possesses such an easy welcoming warmth that you feel as if you were more than just a new acquaintance and she was quick to aid us in any way during our stay. All in all we had an excellent experience in her home.
