I had a lovely couple of nights stay at Veronika's apartment. It is a clean, spacious, modern and comfortable place around 20/30 minutes walk from the centre. It is worth noting it is up a few flights of stairs, but there is a great view from the windows. Veronika was a very welcoming and helpful host who made an extra effort to meet me for my check in despite having to rush off to a wedding! Riga is a great city to explore and the apartment's location encourages visits to parts of the city away from the old centre. I particualrly recommend the Alus Darbnīca Labietis brewery about 5/10 minutes walk away.
