The stay with Synta was very great and we enjoyed it really. Her accommodation is located in an quiet quarter in the east of DC, but you can reach the center of DC within 20 minutes via subway.
Synta made every effort so that we felt very comfortable from the beginning of our stay.
Before a friend of mine and me began the trip through the US, Synta informed us regularly about recommendations what we can do and she told us, that there are some sport events when we are there. So we went to a American Football and soccer match respectively. But she also informed us about construction projects of the subway, so we were aware about that there could be some delays using the Metro.
For me, I can really recommend a stay at Syntas house, when you plan a trip to DC.
