Apartment was very cozy and clean, just like presented and described in ad. We've stopped at Ivars place for one night with a family of 4 of us. Apartment is sufficient for 2 adults with kids. Unfortunately we didn't have much time to roam around the city nor the neighborhood during our stay. I believe its relatively close to the Old Town. I recommend using Ivars apartment for over the weekend stays. Looking forward to visit Riga again in the future for little longer than one night. Cheers
