My sister and I stayed with Synta for a weekend, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Synta was extremely responsive and warm, offering tips, recommendations, and providing any information we needed.
Although I wasn't able to meet Synta (dreadful flight delay) the impression I received from both my communication and through my sister (who did meet her) is that Synta is friendly and goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome in her home. She had breakfast prepared for us (cereal, yogurt, coffee) and also gave tips on the best places for us to eat. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with the highlight being the extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom was also spacious and clean.
Synta's place is about 20-25 minutes from Reagan National Airport and 10 minutes away from FedEx Field (where we were going for a music festival). Although we took ride sharing (Lyft) everywhere, the Metro was not far away (about a 10 minute walk). Overall, based on our experience, my sister and I are definitely looking forward to staying with Synta again!
