If 6-star ratings were allowed, this place would be a 7. If you're able to stay here, consider yourself lucky. It's a beautiful, sunny, roomy, and comfortable apartment, and a great place to feel at home for a few days. Beyond that, Ieva and Florian are kind people and perfect hosts. Coordinating with them before our trip was easy and they were very accommodating for our 4-person group.

The only perceived downside is the location, but that's not really a downside at all. The area around their flat is safe and beautiful, and it is very convenient to public transportation and the bus/train stations. While the walk to Old Riga can feel long after a full day exploring, it does you the favor of showing you all the great shops and restaurants Riga has to offer outside of the normal tourist areas. And that trip between the two can always be sped up with a tram or taxi ride if need be.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Riga is secretly one of the world's greatest cities and we recommend Ieva and Florian's place as the perfect spot to explore it from!
