Alex's place is centrally located and from there it is easy to reach old town, and other parts of central Riga. The flat is super clean and modern, and quiet, making it a great place to return to after a day of sightseeing. Communication with Alex was very easy, he answered all of my questions. Check in was also very easy. Alex's parents we're very helpful, and even welcomed us with some Latvian beer, and cheese, that ended up being a favorite treat. I highly recommend Alex's place.
