Rita, her husband, and her housekeeper were excellent hosts! They made sure that we had everything that we needed, and more- city maps, public transport fare cards, restaurant reviews, towels, a hairdryer, an iron, a fully-equipped kitchen, and premium cable TV. They also provided us with a list of local grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and laundromats within walking distance of their home, should we need anything else. The basement apartment in which we stayed was gorgeous as well- the bed was extremely comfortable and the whole place was tastefully decorated (not that that usually matters to travelers, but it was a noticeably nice touch!).

All in all, they were wonderful hosts, and I would recommend staying with them to anyone.
