Alexander’s apartment is excellent! It is located in the Old Town, but on a quiet side street. So you have the best of both worlds – quiet, but also very convenient to a lot of shops and restaurants in Old Town.
It is a large apartment with a combined kitchen and living room, and an upstairs loft with a queen mattress on the floor. The living room and kitchen are very large, with a large couch, a coffee table, and a large dining table. There is an additional single bed in the living room. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi work well. There is a TV but you need to use your own YouTube or Netflix account. The washing machine worked well and a rack is provided for hanging your clothes to dry.
The building and apartment are fairly old but everything is in good working order. It is on the 5th floor with no elevator, which could be a problem for some people.
The manager, Marina, is very helpful. I needed a few additional kitchen gadgets for my 3-week stay and she went out and got them the next day for me.
I’d highly recommend this apartment and I’d be happy to stay there again the next time I’m in Riga.
