Dori's home is spacious with modern furnishings. Would be ideal for large groups.
However, upon arriving we noticed an overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Most likely from the previous guest who checked out right before we arrived. The house was flipped/cleaned to prepare for our check in but the smell was still lingering. We understand that is is outside of the host control for the most part. Another concern we encountered was missing items. I asked the host in advance if we could have two packages delivered to the house. Upon our arrival we learned that the packages were delivered but mysteriously no where to be found. I asked the host to check with their cleaners but never received a response about that. She did apologize for the smoke issue but did not offer much assistance about our missing packages. We had to contact Airbnb directly to cancel and refund our reservation at the last minute. Unfortunately, we did not feel comfortable or safe staying here. Instead I had to book hotel rooms for 4 people which was extremely costly and inconveniencing at the vey last minute. To be honest, this neighborhood didn't feel welcoming. The neighbors were watching us check in from the street curb. We got the feeling that we were being watched. I would not recommend this place and would suggest that the host set up camera surveillance around her property for security reasons.
