Olga and Aleksandr are exceptional hosts! They drove the car to pick me up at the bus station once they knew I would arrive by bus. I was so impressed! (Because I had thought that they only explained the direction) Furthermore, they drove around to show me the city before entering the apartment.
When I arrived their, I was so pleased because it was very lovely, clean, and homey (It was next door to their apartment) They also prepared bread, jam, cheese, yoghurt, and 5-litre of drinking water for me! I had never imagined before! Their kindness made me feel more like staying with relatives than staying at rental accommodation. Their apartment might not be very close to Old Town, but it was located on the main street and I just walked almost straight to Old Town. Everyday, Olga was very attentive to check if I was alright (Though she could not speak English much, she tried hard to help) Next morning I asked her how to turn on hot water and TV, she came with brownie and plum juice that she made by herself, how kind she was! She even called taxi for me to the bus station on the day I left.
I highly recommend their apartment not only because of the quality of the place, but also the warm hospitality of Olga and Aleksandr that makes my stay in Riga so memorable.
