Riga is the capital of Latvia, a small Baltic Sea nation that has been free from Soviet rule for 17 years. The Old Town is almost completely restored to its ravishing beauty of the 30's when its standard of living equaled Stockholm, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. This apartment is the personal residence of the president of an international Christian charity. He lives in it about 6 months per year. It's available to rent when he is not in Latvia.
It is about 100 years old, but fully renovated. It's in a large apartment building with an old, but functional elevator. The location is amazing, right in the middle of the Old Town. Look out the window and see the National Archives, Philharmonic Hall, Small Guild. Step out of the front door and you are in Dome Cathedral Square. There are countless restaurants, cafés, beer gardens, malls, antique stores, galleries, health spas, museums and places of historical interest. Street parking is not possible; public parking garage near by.
EVERY YEAR THOUSANDS OF EUROPEAN TOURISTS DECLARE THAT RIGA IS EUROPE'S BEST KEPT SECRET. Come and see why.

From the time we were met at the bus station in Riga until the time we departed for the airport our experience with the property was wonderful. The apartment was as described and the location was perfect.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Thank you Todd! I am happy that you enjoyed your time in Riga. It is a pleasure for me to have fine people stay in my apartment and I am glad it met your needs. Thanks also for posting such a positive evaluation. Warmly, Chuck Kelley

This 2bedroom apartment was a great place to stay. It was great on location, location, location!! It has all the comforts of our american home. Being close to all the action it does get a bit load at night especially on weekends. If the elevator is not working(it's like a century old) you will have to walk up 4 storiesof steps, so if handicapped, not perfered. I would definitly recommend this place!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank you Bob for your comments. I am glad that your stay in my apartment was enjoyable...but more glad that you were able to accomplish your purpose. I always welcome those who are adopting Latvian children to use my place when I am not in Riga. Sincerely, Chuck Kelley

Apartment is as described. Worked very well for us. Being in the center of Old Riga is ideal. We watched movies that were in the apartment, used the electricity converters, and other assorted amenities. The owners guidebook and tips were quite helpful. I would caution about the 72 steps as the elevator is often not working. Thank you for sharing your Riga home with us..Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, tourists without a car.
