By the river in the evening. Beautiful sky and reflections.
Riga has 750 Art Noveau buildings - this one, on Elizabets street is probably the finest.
Riga is worth the detour for all the art-nouveau buildings. #riga #latvia #baltic #artnouveau

Greatest advantage of this accomodations is that is located close to bus, train station and central market. Room was clean, comfy and personal was nice and helpful. Everything was OK and there is not much can be said about any negatives, maybe that some guests are little bit noisy.
