I had no problem reserving the apartment at the last minute and it was very easy to gen in touch with the owner. The place is nice and clean with all of the necessary things to stay there for a while. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood close to the "Akmens" bridge that leads to the old town, but you can also explore the "Āgenskalns" area - full of interesting architecture examples and hundreds of small romantic cafes (one of them, just around the corner from the apartment)!
