Fun and eclectic, clean and BIG apartment in Old Port. Upon check in we discovered the window AC unit in the loft wasn’t functioning. The hosts were very responsive, and sent someone to fix it immediately. Unfortunately, that fix only lasted a day or so. He offered to send someone back to take another look, but since my son decided he didn’t want to sleep in the loft anyway, it was a non-issue at that point. I appreciated our hosts high level of reachability and responsiveness.
We really enjoyed the apartment’s proximity to Eventide, Honeypaw, and many many other fantastic Portland restaurants. We took a day trip to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, which was amazing (find the trolls!), and could return to the city without worrying about a parking spot in the street since we were provide one in the home’s driveway. This really was a plus visiting the city in the summer.
A couple minor notes to mention: the large front bedroom did not have its own window AC unit. I do feel that this should have been explicitly disclosed. It would not have been an issue if we were comfortable sleeping with the bedroom door open, but since we were traveling with other people and the door to the front bedroom connects to the living room, it was not ideal. Also, a teeny tiny investment into a full length mirror would make such a big difference!
Ultimately we had wonderful few days visiting our favorite city. Thank you to our hosts!
