My boyfriend and I had a lovely time staying in Rita's apartment. In terms of location it's almost unbeatable. We were able to walk to almost all the main memorials and museums, and there are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. Sadly we didn't get the chance to meet Rita, but Sy was welcoming and helpful, and very kindly let us leave our bags with him for an hour or so after we'd checked out. The flat is well equipped and the bed very comfortable. There is plenty of space and although there was only two of us the apartment could have fitted a couple more people. The shower pressure was amazing and it was nice having a huge TV. Only down side was all the mosquitoes outside the house - if you come in the summer bring repellent!
