Magnus's apartment in Riga is in a great location, with grocery stores, restaurants, and shops all surrounding. A nice coffee shop is just around the corner, and many others within a couple of city blocks. I spent two months here, and although it was not completely without disruption (noise caused by construction in neighboring buildings/apartments), Magnus's place was a serene, comfortable home base for my adventures in Riga. The furnishings are lovely, the wood floors charming, and the furniture elegant and comfortable. I cooked nearly every day, and the appliances (oven, microwave, hob, and full-size refrigerator with freezer and ice cube trays) and kitchen supplies (pots, pans, cooking utensils, silverware, glassware, coffee maker) were all in excellent condition. The beds were extremely comfortable, with very good pillows. I'm a pillow snob, and Magnus's bedding was of the highest quality. I enjoyed hearing the ding of the trollies going down the street, and listening to the seagulls crying out on cloudy days. Imagine the most lovely accommodation in a gorgeous, ancient, harbor town, and you will find it here. Magnus's team in Riga were all friendly, responsive to requests (like can you tell me how to use the internet television, can you drive me to the airport to pick up a friend, could you arrange for a cleaning of my apartment), and eager to ensure that my stay here was without complications and beyond what I expected. I am very glad I chose to spend my vacation at Magnus's apartment. I doubt there is any better.
