Iveta's place struck me from the first time I saw it. Intending to stay for longer than a city break we prefer to stay just out of the tourist maelstrom and this fitted the bill perfectly as the transport system is cheap and easy to use. The walk through Victory Park into the city is a must too.
There's a really cool bar next door as well - Belgian, German and Latvian craft beer - which was a plus for me.
Iveta was a very clear communicator and we had no issues arriving or departing.
A better shower would be the only thing that would have made our stay better but a very, very minor gripe.
