We really enjoyed our stay in Portland. There were 6 of us in our 60's traveling, and the place was perfect for us. The unit was clean and well kept with lots of special touches. Be prepared, there are a few stairs. Parking perfect for 2 cars plus plenty of street parking. Close to attractions. Lauren was quick to respond to questions!

Cons: 3rd Floor bedroom was very warm even with air conditioning running on the coldest setting. It was an extremely hot stretch of weather for Portland, ME. House sits close to major highway so traffic noise interferes with sleep. Fortunately we use white noise app on our phones and ear plugs to sleep when traveling so we were able to sleep fine. Only enough seats at kitchen island and outdoor firepit to accommodate 4 not 6 people. Pros: Apt is cute and very clean inside and is stocked with all the necessary items. The host, Lauren, is responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Her instructions are thorough and easy to understand. There is ample room for 2 cars to park in driveway and parking on the street if needed. Apt is located an easy 5 to 10 minute drive to Commercial St in downtown Portland. There are restaurants within walking distance from the apartment. All in all, we enjoy our visit.

House was as expected and clean. Unfortunately the coffee pot was desperately needed to be descaled so we were not able to use it, which was a big inconvenience. Host was apologetic.

The apartment worked out overall for our group. Instructions for getting in and out might have been a little clearer. Also we did not realize there were so many stairs to the property!! This listing would be super for a young family. The backyard is fenced and has a great play set. The beds were very comfortable and TV viewing area was great!! We did enjoy our stay!!

Why they chose this property

As local New Englanders, my husband Nick and I have been visiting Portland Maine for around 10 years. We fell in love with the city's historic charm, amazing food and drink, and hospitality so much that we decided to get a place of our own to enjoy and share with others!
