Absolutely fabulous trip to Riga and stay at Iluta's apartment!!! (we had 2014 New Year family trip, 2 adults and 2 kids).
Iluta is really great host! Very nice, friendly, helpful and responsible. She put all the efforts to make our stay nice and comfortable. When we entered the apartment we were very pleased to see small Christmas Tree that Iluta prepared for us (we had New Year trip :)). Iluta, thank you very much for your hospitality!
The apartment has really unique location, less than 1 minute to Riga Dome Cathedral and very close to all other Riga downtown attractions. On the other hand the street is absolutely not crowded by tourist, very nice and quiet. Several nice cafes and supermarket are just in 2-3 min walking distance. The apartment has good kitchen facilities, so you can easily prepare breakfast or dinner. Two separate bed rooms and big living room - excellent combination for family! Kids bedroom had option of two level bed - real fun for kids :).
Riga is really very nice city, a lot of place to see and to visit, full of history and spirit. From the apartment we were able to walk to all downtown attractions as well to the Art Nouveau district. Again, apartment location is great and allows you to fully enjoy Riga.
All in all, very good and "above expectations" trip!
