The outside of the building does not look the greatest, but do not judge a book by its cover. The pictures do not do it justice. The apartment was spacious and very clean. Our host had very quick response time to any questions that we had. The check in process was very quick. The apartment is safe and on the 8th floor. The elevator requires a key to access the floor as well as a security guard in the main entrance. The only issue we had was the location, Old Riga town is at least a 35-40 min walk, but we had a rental car during our stay. Finding free parking around the building was no issue. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend staying here.
