Fantastic value for money. Synta is a wonderful, friendly and helpful host and her home is very cute. Location is a bit far from the center of DC (it is only a 5-10 minute walk from her home to the nearest metro stop....In total, except a 35-40 minute commute to tourist sites). As Synta points out, there are not a lot of restaurants or stores in the neighborhood. Still, it's a great place to stay and I plan on staying there next time I visit DC.
