I extremely enjoyed staying in Carl's loft. I was visiting Riga for business. The place is 5 minute walkable distance from a huge mall with restaurants, stores and shops. The host, Anna, was so welcoming and helpful. On one of the especially cold days she made some crepes and treated me to them - it was delicious and so thoughtful and kind of her. Overall, it is the best place to stay in Riga if you want to be welcomed, if you need help and if you want a place with convenient access to the rest of the city. I would give all 10 stars if i could! :)
