The apartment is HUGE, definitely sunny, and easy to reach from the main street/public transport. Jev provided good directions for arrival, a good selection of nearby restaurants and shops already printed out and described, and general tourist info booklets/maps for Riga. The neighborhood is an easy 15 minute walk to the Freedom monument and the Old Town but is not busy/noisy. The apartment building is quiet and has an elevator to the apartment. There are a couple of grocery stores, several nice restaurants, and a pharmacy all within a couple of blocks.
