My daughter and I had never used Airbnb before. This was a great first experience! Synta treated us like family. She went out of her way to pick us up at the train station and gave us lots of tips about restaurants and places to visit in the area. She communicated clearly and was very responsive to questions. While the space is shared, we had lots of privacy. We liked that Synta composts/recycles and has a garden in her yard. She shared her kitchen and offered for us to eat vegetables from her garden..a special summer treat!
