The place is 30 minutes of walking distance from center but the bus station that drives to center is only 5 minutes away and public transport is really cheap. Ieva told us how to get to apartment with bus and was very friendly all the time. Apartment is very big with a big terrace and both bathrooms are new. It is located in an area of old houses but some good bars and restaurants are located just a minute away. Apartment was clean and warm (we were there when it was really cold). The only thing that you should watch is that when you are using water it gets really hot (almost burning). I highly recommend the apartment and Ieva is really great and quick responsive host.
