There are dangerous dogs here. You can see from my first review that I LOVED this place, but that I mentioned one of the dogs growling at me. I thought things would get better. They did not. His behavior is odd and unpredictable, and Shamir and a friend of his acknowledged it. He growled at me on two other occasions, growled at a friend of mine and at one point threatened to bite me, from only inches away, because I made a sound when I sighed. WHOA. I ended up in a standoff with BOTH dogs, because the other joined his friend barking at me. They’re big dogs. A friend of Shamir’s had to come help me. What would I have done otherwise?
From there, Shamir and I agreed on a plan to keep the dogs in the yard or in his room so I could move freely around the house and Shamir started out sticking to the plan, but over the next week, the dogs were inside more and more and Shamir didn’t ask me if this was okay. That was incredibly disrespectful. I tried to go along with it, but found myself avoiding going the kitchen because I could hear their collars jingling inside the house. They also like to lay by the stairs, which access the house's front door, which is the only door to get in or out. They also know how to escape the yard by using their noses to open the sliding door. Ask me how I found that out. I asked Airbnb to intervene and left early. I LOVED this place and wanted to stay for months more, but the dogs are dangerous and no guest should be in the house while they’re there.
