The flat was adorable, well appointed including a bowl and poo bags for the dog (although we brought our own), Close to downtown and adorable little stores and coffee shops. Only thing I would say the furniture is tiny and not good for larger folks.
Great location in Castine! Very easy to get to nearby towns. Property needs blinds on the windows (windows facing the driveway/parking, bathroom, and bedroom). Felt very exposed with half-curtains on ground level. Other than that, property was perfect!

Thank you for reviewing your stay with us. We appreciate your comments and suggestions to help us improve in the future. We look forward to hosting you for a great stay in the future.
Property was pretty clean, lots of cobwebs in bathroom. Upstairs renter luckily left after one night of banging around starting at 4 am. The rest of the stay was nice and quiet. The town itself is quaint. No restaurants worth noting, just fried food options. Market at edge of town was very nice and offered a good variety of organic and gluten free products. Interesting museum in town worth touring.
