We truly did have a wonderful stay in DC. We haven’t seen my brother in 2 years and staying at Alison & Yohan’s place made it possible and convenient to spend time with him and his family. However, there are a few items we were extremely disappointed in. The last thing I want to do is offend them, but I find these items to be detrimental for a rental where people are staying. First, we were very taken aback by the presence of ants all over the kitchen and master bathroom counters. We saw hundreds of them during our stay and it was bothersome to find them in our personal items and food. Secondly, the fire detector in the basement does not function. Our childhood home was destroyed via a house fire, so this is a very personal concern. Lastly, we attempted to cook a Sunday dinner together as a family and were unable to use the oven. Within minutes of turning it on, the kitchen filled with smoke. Also, the dishwasher was left with dirty dishes that we had to clean before using. At the end of the day, our stay was worthwhile, and your home was part of that sentiment. However, the rental and especially cleaning fees were far from cheap and we would have appreciated a more comfortable, safe, and sanitary stay for the price we paid. Regardless, we shared great memories with family and we thank you for opening your home to us.
