9.6/10 Exceptional! (59 reviews)
Lovely apartment in Old Riga town, close to everything! The staff were so helpful. Room clean and well presented. You get used to the spiral staircase! (We were on the 3rd floor.)
I'd definitely recomment the apartment.
Be careful with parking though. The nearest car park looks like a bomb site and costs 35 euro for 24 hours!
