This is a great location in Riga, in an 'up and coming' neighbourhood. Lacplease iela is a major avenue across the top of the old town.
There is easy access to food & liquor stores, transit is close by and pedestrian access to the centre of the old town, university and opera house takes approximately 15-20
minutes. The apartment is accessed from a courtyard off Lacplesa Iela and is on the third floor. The apartment is bright and it is remarkably private, with the bedroom overlooking a garden area shaded by a large tree right outside the window. The living / dining room and kitchen overlook a courtyard to the west. We had the windows open all of the time.
The courtyard entrance and entrance stairs have a gritty/urban feel, but we always felt safe.
We had a great time in Riga and were very happy to stay at Laura's place.
