What a fabulous apartment in central Riga! It exceeded our expectations and is even bigger and better than the photos! Check in was very easy there is a convenient self-check in option and Maria (our wonderful, friendly and super friendly and kind host) gave detailed description and information and was very responsive (we even called her at 4am, sorry about that, but she was very helpful with all our questions).
So, the things we appreciated so much (which we did not expect) that were included were -the coffee, tea, sugar, muesli/cereal, milk, yoghurt and little choc sweets, cooking oil etc.... so kind of you to provide all this for our convenience...
We really apprecitated this and made our mornings so much better!
Also there was shampoo, shower gel and ladies things and other amenities made it feel like home away from home. All the facilities worked well - we had trouble turning heating on at first but managed to get in touch and turn the handle and get it to work, thankfully as it was about -8 outside, brrr..
The apartment itself is really modern, clean and has very homey feel, great design and top equipment and so much crockery and cutlery - we loved the huge wine glasses and also the cute cat salt and pepper pots (so cute!)
There are two large double beds - one is a sofa bed that comes out which were so comfortable and we even had fresh new bedding available and extra blankets and pillows, so much better than a hotel and for amazing value. Oh and the bed that comes out from the wall looked small on the photos but was actually bigger and perfect for one or two people to sleep in.
I even had another apartment (that my friend had booked to stay in for the last night) but I am so glad I was able to extend one more night at Maria's instead as it was so cosy and much more convenient.
My friends who stayed also were highly impressed with the apartment and I highly recommend it to everyone. We used Taxify (great app, just like Uber) to get around using cab it cost 3-5 euro to get to main attractions around Riga.
Also Maria has kindly included a large map of Riga in the apartment and many leaflets about attractions. If you are looking to book a great place this is the one and I honestly highly recommend it. Most importantly, thanks to Maria, because this was actually my first ever Airbnb experience as I had been skeptical about it in the past but now I have a great first experience so thank you very much. I hope to return again sometime when I am back in Riga!
