Rita's place is charming and warm, with a comfortable bed, roomy sofa, plenty of cozy throws, an efficient kitchenette, clean bathroom, *and* a nice little patio out back. Best of all, the location of Rita's apartment quite close to the metro and near the Capital building was *perfect,* with plenty of charm and many restaurants nearby. We had a wonderful stay. We only saw Sy when we needed him, and in those times he was very gracious and seemed to be available at a moment's notice.
