Meron’s place on MacArthur blvd Washington was not was expected. Initial problems occurred with a backed up bathroom sink upstairs and a clogged toilet downstairs both upon first time use within hour after arriving.
The most disturbing issue was the discovery of a gas smell when returning after an evening dinner party the same evening. Cut short to return to the home to let the plumber in. Which again we only discovered the smell after being away around three hours. The only thing done was turning on the central air conditioner due to the warm weather that day.
We notified the host Meron and she offered to put us up for the evening and have someone check it in the morning.
We took matters into our own hands and called (844) 927-4427 the Washington number for suspicious gas smells.
An inspector arrived an hour after the call and after a complete inspection of all gas piping found a basement leak on a fitting. He said he would fix it his self by tightening it five turns.
We only stayed as he assured us all things were fine and safe.
We also verified the smoke detector on the first floor which didn’t work and found no battery in it. On the second floor base units with no detectors in them. All this totally unacceptable. In addition the front screen door was not working.
Overall the location was good because it was only two blocks from my sons home and we were there for a weekend baby shower. The property overall could use a good sprucing up and maintenance. Not a good experience.
