The property was mostly as described. It was cute, but not necessarily a great part of town. It was well maintained, however had a strong stale musty / mildew smell that was pretty prominent in the kitchen area. We ended up getting some air fresheners and odor eliminators which helped. The main issue was the communication. We got a text prior to check- in that provided a communication number to reach out to if we needed anything. I had messaged a few times about early check in and no response until hours later. I thought maybe I couldn’t communicate until our check - in time. The wifi password was not working. I do work remotely and needed it to get work done, so I messaged the host again the next day, about 3 times through the day and a call, and no response. I never was able to connect to the wifi and never received any response back the next day either. Not that any of that is a huge deal, but if there was something more urgent that I needed I fear there would be no way to reach anyone.

Great local spot but could be cleaner

Very central spot was pretty convenient to walk around Portland but could be cleaner inside. The person who lives above definitely has some heavy feet as well that you’ll hear.

First Maine visit

Thus place was well located and instructions were clear. The entrance code did not work but were quickly able to get access with help from Vacasa staff. The bed and couch could use an upgrade though.

Needs a deep clean

The apartment was nice but it really needs deep cleaned. There was dust, dirt, hair, cobwebs, and bug carcasses everywhere. The cleaning fee is outrageous considering the apartment wasn’t very clean.

We had a great stay. Many things were walkable!K-cups were provided, but it would have been nice if there was at least some non-refrigerated creamer. Washer and dryer provided, but no laundry detergent.Host was helpful when the thermostat stopped working. Upstairs neighbors could be easily heard, but it didn't detract from the stay!

Great Location - Poor communication

When we arrived, we went to the front door of the matching listing photo - we did not realize this was an actual residence. The guys working across the street in the local repair garage told us to try the sides of the house. The same gentlemen said this occurs all the time. The listing should say to go to the left of the house and down the stairs. The location was great - we walked to many local breweries and to the old port. It was the perfect size for the two of us. Now for the downside - and this is more about dealing with Vacasa. I contacted them twice through the listing on the VRBO app - once about early check-in and a question about the backyard. We did not receive an answer until 24 hours later and each question was answered by different people. When we had a question about the toaster that was listed (which ended up being a toaster oven) I called. I was greeted with a recorded menu to connect to different departments. After finally reaching a representative, she had to call the local person to get our question answered. So if you want an answer to a question in a timely manner - CALL but be warned you are talking to a management company, not a local person.

Great Getaway in Portland

This property was our home for a brief (3 nights) getaway to Portland, one of our favorite cities with a vibe that can't be beat. The location was very convenient for much of what we wanted to do; walking was most always an option and when it wasn't the drive was short and stress-free. The home was well-stocked with essentials and well-equipped for a comfortable stay; there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't there. The neighborhood is quiet and seemed quite safe but we also don't walk around much at night either; the outside seating area was private and a delight. Logistics worked out fine with our host from check-in to sufficiently detailed checkout instructions. I have no hesitation in recommending this place for a visit to Portland.
