The apartment is 10 minutes walking from the old city. The neighbourhood, Moscow, is calm and nice. If you walk, from Vlada's house, the other direction - away from the old city, you will see a different and interesting part of Riga:
like a green village with lots of interesting houses.
Vlada is a very friendly woman, helpful and with humour. And: she was a nice guide in the historical center for me! She knows where to go!
The room in her apartment is big and nice. So, I can say: I was really satisfied about my stay in her apartment!
