Santa is a great and welcoming host. Her communication was fast and check in was personal - she spent time telling us about the area and what to do, as well as the transport links into the centre. The apartment has public (buses) transport right outside the door, and the trams run on the next large road parallel to the road the apartment is on. The area has a supermarket only 1 block away. There are lots of restaurants around the area with different food choices. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. There are many little touches that make it feel like a home away from home. It was great to just relax and chill on the comfortable sofa and watch TV when not out and a out in Riga. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking fresh food you can get from the Central Market (Centraltirgus), and there's a large fridge for storing food and drinks. Santa even stocks beer for guests - thanks! All in all a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
