Diana met us at the appointed time and gave us excellent instructions where to park. She had fresh flowers and a bowl of apples from her orchard in the apartment. It was such a nice and welcoming gesture. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Nicely decorated with paintings done by Maria Giulia's mother. We did not cook at all but anyone so inclined will find the Riga Central Market across the way and a kitchen equipped to handle. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city and near everything. We highly recommend.
