Synta has a beautiful home in a quiet part of town that is also convenient to the city center. The subway (Capitol Heights) is in walking distance, and you can even see the Capitol from the streets of the neighborhood!

I had a private bedroom on the top floor and it was equipped with a large bed, a closet, and set of drawers, a large flatscreen TV, and a modern desk for working on my computer (complete with desk lamp, wifi, and outlets conveniently located). I especially loved the charming couch/settee placed between the bed and the window. The bed itself was super comfortable with a lovely quilt that had a bicycle motif (perfect for me, a cyclist!) There was lots of sunlight from the tall windows that looked out onto a quiet, suburban-like street. A nice bathroom was conveniently located next door. Downstairs, I had the use of a comfortable living room and kitchen, and our host had left me cereal (organic!), yogurt, coffee and tea. There was even a room with workout equipment that I could use!

Synta, herself, is knowledgeable and friendly. She is sociable if you want to chat, or she will leave you alone if you prefer that. She has a written guide with all kinds of good tips for transit and dining options. Other added bonuses: Synta provides guests with slippers, a bathrobe and a little gift (chapstick!)

All in all, it was almost like being at home, if you also are lucky enough to have a lovely, quiet, well-equiped home like she does. I would definitely stay here again!!!
