We had booked this studio apartment on a business visit to Riga. First impression is that the studio is really cozy and matches the photos shown perfectly! The apartment building itself is not on the Main Street but you will see an open plot marked with fencing. Just next to that goes a lane inside and here is where you will see a red brick building.

Jurgis was an excellent host and we had no problems communicating with him and locating the place. He was so kind to get us extra bedding and pillows in the middle of the night at 12am!

Positives;
Excellent location right in the city centre. 15 mins walk to Riga Old. Town. Centre and 20 mins to Coach Terminal / Passenger Train station
Lots of quaint cafés and global cuisine restaurants on this street (just at the entrance to the apartment building is Himalaya (great and cheap Indian and Nepali food)
Well stocked kitchenette with supplies for making a quick breakfast. Thank you for the beer Jurgis!

Negatives
--The only negative was the very small and confined bathroom. Also the water pressure was too weak and we didn't have any hot water, despite him telling that it will take some time to heat up.
--Also you will have to mind your head from bumping into the slanted ceiling whenever you come to the left as shown in the photos.
--The staircase to go up on the loft can also be tricky for some people. Just don't wake up in the middle of the night and fall down 10 feet, take care! There is no restraint next to the bed it's just open.

All in all a great value for money considering the location and amenities for a short stay!

Tips;
--Riga, beautiful as it is, sadly is scam artist Central. Taxi drivers will charge you double or even triple (always book a taxi, we got charged 20 EUR from the coach station to the flat which shouldbe 8-10 EUR).
--Do not absolutely respond to provocations from the locals-I've travelled quite a bit, but I've never been as accosted by a drunk Russian looking for a fight at 5pm. And superbly dressed beggar children who will never leave you without getting some money.
--Just 5 mins ahead of Himalaya is a small mini market ELVI where you can all the supplies.
--Indian Raja is THE place for a dinner after a nice evening. This is absolutely the best menu and authentic Indian food I have tasted in the Baltics and Scandinavians. And I'm Indian. The spices really hit the spot. You will not regret it!
