Overall, the apartment and location of this place are great. The space is clean, well decorated, private, and comfortable. The location along South Congress is amazing with restaurants, a small local grocery store, bars, and shops within a 5-15 min walk. My stay would have been perfect, but one of the hosts’ dogs charged me and bit my finger on the first night of my stay. In their description, Stephanie and Michael mention a friendly dog who will bark at guests but is not aggressive. They do not mention a second dog—a blue heeler named Elvis—who is aggressive. When I was returning to the apartment (which is behind their home) after dinner to change before a night out, Stephanie, Michael, and their two dogs were doing yard work. Before any warning and immediately upon seeing me and the other guest, the blue heeler charged across the yard and bit me. The dog was not warning or playing as the bite was very hard and the first thing he did—it felt like I slammed my finger into a car door. The only reason the bite did not break skin was because the dog made contact with my finger nail, which only ended up dented by his teeth and tender/red. Michael and Stephanie did immediately restrain the dog and ask if I was okay, but their comment that they thought I was out for the night and that they “hardly ever let him (the dog) out” lets me know they knew of the dog’s aggressive tendencies. I do not blame the dog, and do not want authorities to take action about the dog, but this was irresponsible and thoughtless of the hosts. Their actions in letting an aggressive dog out when guests are freely coming and leaving from the property endangers both guests and their dog, who could be forcibly put down for injuring someone. Aside from this, the hosts were accommodating and even let me check in early. I believe the biting incident was an accident, but I want to mention it here so it does not happen again.
