Great location, exceptional value. Yes, you share the kitchen area and bathroom with the housekeeper, but he's very sweet and rarely on the floor. And he has his own entrance. I really only saw Sy when I needed something. The place is also very nicely decorated and a good size for two. I didn't get a chance to meet Rita but she was very responsive to my questions and emails, and she's a very thoughtful host. If you're a very light sleeper or bothered by noise, you should note that you can hear people upstairs from time to time, but it didn't bother me. The bed is super comfortable, by the way.
