Kate is an excellent host. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and has plenty of suggestions for activities and places to visit in the surrounding area within walking distance. If you need a list of recommendations on where to have an excellent dinner, she can help with that, too. The apartment was a very comfortable "home base" for our family of three while we visited Riga for 15+ days over Christmas. The equipped kitchen means sometimes you can have dinner "at home" as well.
