Chic 1BR DADU in Queen Anne

I dealt with ants the entire time I stayed there. It was a known issue as there were traps placed throughout the unit. One was leaking poison on the floor by the entryway. Host prior to my stay, sent auto-generated messages, emphasizing their desire to help and make this a 5 star experience. They were not responsive when I initially reached out regarding my concerns. They claimed to have texted me that I could cancel my stay, leave and receive a refund for the unused nights. I received no text messages informing me of that and sent them screen shots proving the false claim. While I wanted to leave the property, it would have significantly impacted my trip and cost me a lot more money. We went back and forth for over a day on what would be fair compensation. I felt their number was too low, given I did not unpack most of my belongings (had them sealed in plastic bags on the dining room table), did not cook and minimized eating to avoid worsening the problem, and in general, it was just impossible to relax as ants frequently crawled on our bodies and even in the bed. They offered to have an exterminator spray inside the unit, which I said from the beginning I did not want. I would have to remove all of my things and vacate the unit, nor did I want to expose myself or my young son to those chemicals. At that point, I had 2 days remaining. The 2nd option was to provide more bait traps. Clearly, the unit needs to be professionally sprayed, but that should have happened well before my arrival or any guests, really. Not to mention, the inaccurate description this unit is advertised as: “There is an office on the ground floor of the DADU which is used by the owner. They may from time to time use the office space…” The owner used the office space every day during the week I was there, beginning around 8:30 a.m. and going until 5 p.m. There was no sound barrier and I could hear her conversation clearly, even being upstairs. We were even woken up by the noise.
