This home has a lot of that classic, older East Coast character. There's plenty of seating and beds for a large group. The location is excellent—close to Main Street in Westbrook, convenient to Portland's attractions, and near the airport. The kitchen is well-stocked, though it could use a few more plates and cups (silverware was plentiful). Communication with Axel was mostly good.However, we ran into a few notable issues. Due to a miscommunication between the host and cleaners, the house wasn't ready until 6:30 PM, and we had to put away the towels and dishes ourselves. Axel did graciously refund our first night to make up for this. Additionally, a few beds had hair and dirt on the sheets; when notified, Axel directed us to spare sheets, which we ended up changing ourselves. Lastly, the house is quite dark with limited natural light compared to the bright listing photos.We appreciate Axel’s responsiveness and the refund, but the cleanliness and check-in delays were definitely drawbacks to our stay.
