Anna's apartment was just as described and depicted -- clean, bright, and simple. Her apartment is walkable from old town Riga but still in the city center, so you can easily get to the attractions but still feel like you're in the "real" Riga. Frequent visitors to eastern Europe will know apartment blocks like hers -- historic and aged in the building's common areas, modern and efficient in the private apartments. She was very responsive in her communication, and her sister very friendly and helpful when Anna could not greet us upon arrival because of prior commitments. We were very happily satisfied, and got precisely what we expected.
