This is an older home that has undergone some renovations. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequate. We missed having a guidebook with recommendations for the area as well as helpful notes for the house. The house is located in an excellent area within a walk or short drive to many restaurants, shopping and sites making it easy for newcomers to experience the area.

The property was perfect for myself and my two adult sons. The host made everything seem less for us. Great location as we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. 11 out of ten!

Very nice place, clean, good location. On-street parking was available. Second floor kitchen & bath, so not for those with issues with stairs, but fine for us. Would stay again!

The apartment was clean, but several issues made our stay disappointing. Most importantly, the advertised “free street parking” came with restrictions that the owner did not communicate. That side of the street is swept on Tuesdays, and our car was towed. A neighbor told us another couple had experienced the same issue the previous week. Clear parking instructions would have helped us avoid this frustrating situation.There was also only one mirror in the entire apartment, which made getting ready inconvenient. The stairs are quite steep, especially when navigating them for nighttime bathroom trips.While we appreciated the cleanliness, better communication about parking and clearer information about the stairs would have made a significant difference.

Our group is irritated with the VRBO listing that said plenty of free parking on the street. We happened to stay on a Monday night into Tues Morning between October and May, where street parking is illegal from 12 am to 7 am on alternating sides of the street. Our car was towed and we are out 240 had to uber to south portland to retrieve our car.Front door lock was problematic to get locked from the outside. It took me anywhere from 4-7 tries to get it to lined up correctly. Same issue was referenced by another person more than a year ago. Only bathroom is on 2nd floor so if you have mobility issues, this is not the place for you. Tight staircase is tenuous at best. Improvements that could be made to this property:Bathroom needs a place to put your toiletries, pedestal sink is very small. A mirror and trashcan in downstairs is needed to help get multiple people ready.Ceiling repairs are needed in both bedrooms.Missing lightbulbs in kitchen. Not sure of the constant dog barking till 130am in connecting apt is typical or isolated, but very disruptive.

Communication with the host was very good . The house was older than expected . Sheets on sofa bed were soiled , but we had additional clean sheets to use. Kitchen would benefit from being better stocked . (Additional dish towels, sponge missing , additional frying pan .) Steps to the kitchen , bathroom and bedroom are steep . Street parking available ….

Charming property and friendly hosts, with easy access to the airport, major highways as well as local spots. We used this as a sort of base camp to look at a number of colleges in the area. Wished to have stayed longer and will definitely stay again.
