Neighborhood overview
Located in the heart of the West End, One of the quietest places on the peninsula, this neighborhood can feel like another world. The tree-lined streets are populated by brownstones and Victorian mansions, making them a haven for architecture buffs. Nestled among the historical beauty are quaint inns and bed-and-breakfasts. The neighborhood is home to highly rated restaurants, including the much-touted Tandem Coffee Roasters, and offers a view of the White Mountains from the Western Promenade.

Great Location, but No Central A/C
My friends and I stayed here in early September and we loved the location. You are within walking distance of countless restaurants and bars. We loved Roma that’s literally steps away and Bramhall that’s below Roma. There are also 2 coffee shops just right down the street and convenience stores. One issue we had was how hot it was in the unit. When we visited Maine, it was during one of the hottest weeks of the year and there was no air conditioning running in the unit when we arrived. It was hotter inside than it was outside (93 degrees). It took about 36 hours to cool down to 76 degrees. It would have been nice for a least one of the a/c units to be running to circulate some of the air. We also could not really go up to the loft area because it was so hot. There is also no elevator since it’s an older building, so pack light or be prepared to carry your bags up 3 flights of stairs. This was all things that we didn’t really think of or consider when booking.

Great location and hosts!
The location is hard to beat and the apartment was lovely. Even in the hot days the apartment cooled down quickly. The two bathrooms were a really great plus. The lofted room was hot and the third bed was not the most comfortable for a long stay. Just be prepared if you’re looking to sleep five or six adults for many nights. Overall great and would book again!

Cool place in excellent location
A gorgeous old building with a very modern renovated apartment. The apartment doesn't offer much in the way of kitchen supplies, but with this amazing location in this awesome food city, you should just eat and drink out anyway. Kingsley was responsive and available if we needed anything during our stay. Only one of the bathrooms had shampoo, etc and a hair dryer. There is no central A/C, but a window unit in the main bedroom and a portable unit in the living area. Both are loud but effective for the warm Portland summer. The other bedroom has a fan but could use an air conditioner.
