Irina, Natalija, and whoever is the owner of the flat, were very communicative and hospitable persons. The building is a complete nightmare though. It's kind of like going back in time during World War II or something. Fortunately, the apartment is renovated. What's interesting is the fact that Latvians use a big apartment to create more small apartments, thus make more money. Very smart!
The main problem with the apartment is the water pressure in the shower and in the sink. And the fact that you need to be a master to get the hot to cold ratio right in that shower. It's completely f'd up. Other than that it's fine.
