Highly recommended, as Grints place is spotless clean, newly renovated (like pictures), quiet neighborhood, comfy bed & very well located despite its on the other side of the city/bridge. Grints is also responsive to any queries.
It is less then 5 minutes walk to trams and buses to town/to airport/to ferry terminal, and only 1-2 stops away to attractions. Otherwise walking across the bridge in summer days to attractions are as pleasant within 15-20mins.
The National Library is a stone throw away (check it out as view to city is best)
I was skeptical after reserving checking in guide (which is very informative) as the entrance to Grints place was a little shabby, but his place was newly renovated, bright and spotless clean, the contrast make huge differences, more importantly Riga is a safe city, so really no worry.
I have some problem with TV during stay, Grints have his neighbour assisted swiftly. Washing machines and good hairdryer were great facilities to have. As mentioned in Grints listing, his place is without lift, hence be prepared to walk few floors up the staircase, each floor are with sensor lightings and staircase are very wide so it’s not a problem to me despite I travel alone with a 18KG suitcase.
I am sure you will enjoy Grints place. I would book again if I ever return to Riga.
