The place was clean and included a few nice amenities such as coffee pods and snacks. The neighborhood was not as inviting as we were expecting, and the house was actually a duplex. The CO/smoke alarm started going off at 2:30AM and the unit would not silence. There was no external battery that could be removed so at 2:30AM with our whole family startled awake and a unit that would not silence our only option was to hit the "disable" switch. This renders the unit inoperable. We deemed this our only choice due to the deafening noise and fact that there was no other way to turn it off. Upon check out we labeled the unit as bad and circled the clear instructions stating that it could not be re-used once disabled. We viewed this as a means to ensure that it was not reinstalled for future malfunctioning/inoperable/unsafe use.
The owner reached out very angry that we would "deface" her property and hinder her from reinstalling this now inoperable piece of safety equipment. There was a lack of comprehension of the situation on her part and she essentially refused to listen to our experience. In conclusion, we are now being charged. Salty? Yes we are. We do not recommend due to the owner's inability to recognize her responsibilities verses ours.
