Elita & Martin
This studio was decorated and renovated for the absolute purpose of accommodate 2 persons up to one week. The studio was designed by the owners as a result of their extensive travelling and staying at different accommodations. The aim has always been to achieve a feeling of genuine materials, yet simple layout. The studio is equipped with a TV and a smart box with access to Netflix.
The owners live nearby in the old town and have been renting out properties in Latvia and Sweden for past the 20 years.
In the old town all activities are mainly centered to providing nice views of historical monument and houses and great dining for the many tourist that visit Rigas old town each year all seasons. What is worth visiting is the Opera house. Fantastic performances are on a weekly basis. Next to the Opera house is Forum cinemas that will show all the latest movies (English language, with Latvian and Russian text). There are parks outside old town and most of them has play areas for children (swings, slides etc.). In the evening old town is lighted up so you feel completely safe even if it is in the middle of the night.
