I've never met Gatis in person, however he was excellent at communicating via messages and I appreciated his advise on how to get around (Baltic taxi and Taxify). Excellent location next door to a wonderful authentic coffee shop and restaurant. The room is very spacious, clean and comfortable with an equally large washroom. Word of caution regarding the stairs as there are many of them if you have heavy luggage, however the staircase itself is very sturdy. I highly recommend this apartment.
