The apartment itself in fact looks even better in reality than in the pictures. It looks freshly renovated, is decorated tastefully, and has good sound isolation. The apartment is nicely cool on hot summer days and well stocked with amenities. The location is convenient, right on the busy main street of Riga, but the windows are into the inner yard so there is no problem with noise. The host was very clear and detailed in communication, all instructions were clear and helpful.
