This is my second time staying with Synta. I stayed with Synta for about a month last January when I was doing my internship at one of the Smithsonian museums(the location is super convenient, about 7 minutes walk to the metro that could get me anywhere around DC). Synta is not just a host, but a wonderful person to be with. I now consider her as my friend. This wasn't a planned trip. I came down to DC area for a two days event and ran into a problem with my hotel accommodation and left without a place to stay. I thought about Synta and asked if I could just stay for a night, I didn't even mind sleeping on the couch. Synta responded to my message in less than 2 minutes and offered me to stay for the night. She sent me the link and I made the reservation in minutes. Within 3 hours, I was at Synta's place, which looked same as the last time I was there--still beautiful, cozy, lovely, and extremely comfortable. Synta graciously prepared the room for me and I was beyond grateful to such a considerate and loving host.
