Studio Elizabete 3

Very modern and fully equipped. In a great location - about a 15 minute walk to the old town

Perfect place in the middle of the Jugendstil quarter. Around 10 min by foot to the old town and buses/tram nearby. Nice little apartment with everything you need. Nice and helpful owner!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE. Before I booked, I asked the host if it was okay to arrive late. She said that was fine because there is self check-in. The week before I arrived, she sent self check-in instructions and I asked if I could have her number in case something went wrong. She refused and said to follow the instructions carefully. When I arrived, I couldn’t get into the building. She had not sent the code! I tried emailing and found her number on the website but no reply. After an hour, I found another hotel nearby and checked in at great expense. The next day, the host said it was my fault, refused to compensate me fully for the money I had spent on the other hotel and even suggested that I should just cancel my booking at her accommodation. She was very rude, told me to stop being so emotional and reiterated that it was my fault. But she had never sent the code! It was a really horrible experience and very scary to be alone on the streets of Riga late at night. I strongly advise anyone against booking this accommodation.

The apartment is situated in a nice safe neighborhood (the Ukrainian embassy is just down the street), close to bus and trams and several grocery stores within walking distance, even for a seventy year old like me. The old town is a twenty minute walk away, even quicker by mass transit. And one of the ubiquitous Narvesens (the Latvian 7/11) is just down the block, where you can get bus tickets, sim cards and the usual odds and ends. All in all, a good location and a great bargain.

Just a personal pet peeve, but there is no functioning clock in the apartment. I tend to dawdle, so to keep myself on track I need to know what time it is on a regular basis. Without a clock, I have to keep checking my phone. But, that's just me.

Great location close to the center. On foot you can quickly reach the old town, and the bus stop 22 to the airport in about twenty minutes on foot. Small apartment but with everything you need.

The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable
