The flat is incredibly stylish, with extra touches such as the availability of Netflix, a Balsam chocolate to try and a welcome pamphlet with useful tips on Riga.
We couldn't fault the flat. It was super clean, with a comfortable living space.
Communication with the owner was very good.
The flat is about a 25 minute walk from the old town, but there are numerous busses that run on the road outside (as well as trams on the road further along). Most of the time we walked into town, stopping off at a cafe about halfway. The cafe was called Lusa Miltu Darbnica, the coffee was great, the pastries excellent and almost half the price of the cafes in the Old Town.
