I would give six stars if they let me.
We stayed at Katrinas Place a whole week over new years and we could not have been happier. Katrina is the nicest host, always responsive, has great tips for the city and is a lovely person. Check in was super easy with keylock, the building looks charming and the apartment is one of the best and most perfect we have ever been to. So beautifully decorated, spotless clean, anything you would need. Supercomfy bed, great bathroom, kitchenette more than enough, beautiful furniture and exquisite taste. Walking to the told town is about 20 min. We barely took public transport, but if you want it is only a short walk away to catch. Centrs before the old town is just around the corner where there are loads of shops and lots to see. We did a lot in this week (walked 90 kms in total) but we still want to see more. Riga is probably the most underrated city in Europe and is way more interesting than most other capitals. Will be back soon!
