Virab is a nice host, he meet us at house door. Before arrival we asked Virab some questions and got quick replies, however we communicated in Russian.
Virab's apartment is clean and very comfortable. It is located in a residential area build in the times of Soviet Union. The surrounding is quiet, we were hearing just normal sounds of a residential area and seagulls. In other words, it was possible to sleep having windows open.
So, we had a good rest after intensive sightseeing every day.
There are at least 2 supermarkets in a distance of a few minutes walk. Similar distance is to public transportation stops, but we went to the city center always by taxi.
We were in 3 persons and the host suggested to use Yandex Taxi app. Depending on the destination, taxi drive was about 5 to 7 euros, so per one person it wasn’t much more expensive than public transportation, however much faster (ca. 10 to 17 minutes) and I guess much more comfortable.
We went to Riga by car, so we appreciated the possibility of free parking close to the house. Even when we arrived late evening, I was able to find a place within a few minutes. If you go by car, I recommend to ask the host for detailed instructions, because Google Maps didn’t lead me directly to the house entrance.
Thank you Virab very much!
