Absolutely outstanding location: within minutes of the old town and art nouveau districts, and walking distance from the bus and train stations if you want to go further afield. Despite being so close to the main sights of Riga (and us being there for Latvian Restoration of Independence Day) the apartment was quiet and peaceful. All amenities in the apartment were great, the only (very minor!) things missing that would have been nice were a towel rail and bath mat in the bathroom, and a decorative touch in the bedroom to stop it feeling like an office. However I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a base for a couple exploring the city.
