Do not believe the listing--the noise is unbearable: “…it's above a restaurant/bar and can be noisy in the evenings.” After we booked the check-in information said, "As a reminder, the condo is located on the top floors of a brownstone above a restaurant/bar in the downtown area which is known for its nightlife and noise may carry in the evenings." Before we arrived they told us: "Also just a heads up when choosing sleeping arrangements, the main floor bedroom of apartment #2 is probably the most affected by the noise from downstairs until approx 12:30 am Friday and Saturday. The noise seems to be very minimal in apartment #3." These statements make it seem like the noise is minimal and really only one bedroom. Nothing could be further from our experience. We stayed in the upstairs back bedroom in apartment #3 because the manager made it seem like that would be the quietest. It wasn’t. We could hear every word of every lyric and the saxophone until 2 AM. We absolutely could not sleep and could not open the windows to get cool air because it made the noise worse. We would hear the music from every room in both units—loudly. Ear plugs did nothing. You simply cannot sleep in these units when the bands are playing. These units are not “can be noisy or “noise may carry” or there is “minimal noise in apartment #3.“ Everyone in my family was impacted. Do not rent these units if you like to sleep. Go anywhere else in Portland.

Great location, space was clean and ready for our stay. With the couple questions I had the owner of the property was quick to get back to me. Overall great place

This property was perfect!! Very clean! Great location! Parked car and never had to use it! Walking distance to everything!

We had a wonderful stay for a 40th birthday weekend in Portland. The apartment was great, location can’t be beat. Dena was a pleasure to work with, we will gladly stay again.

We had a great stay at this property. It had everything we needed and was a great location.

We rented both spaces for a girls weekend/ bachelorette. We had 13 women and the apartments were perfect. Clean, beautifully maintained, and on the 3rd floor so we didnt feel we would bother anyone with noise from a large group. The location cannot be beat. We walked everywhere, day and night. We felt safe as there was a key/call pad to get in plus each door to the apartments had a code to get in. The host was responsive to any questions I had and lovely to communicate with. Hands down best place to stay in Portland to be close to everything and enjoy a beautiful space!

Our family of seven adults enjoyed Christmas in this special property in the heart of the Old Port. We walked everywhere, and enjoyed most of our meals in the amazing restaurants all around us. Never had to use our cars which we alternated between street parking and nearby surface lots. The apartment was immaculate, as pictured in the photos. Dena was terrific in every way with communications. We would highly recommend! As mentioned in the listing and noted by other reviews, the nightlife on the 2nd floor is LOUD until about midnight or 1 pm. We stayed four nights and the club was closed two of the four nights. We had to check it out one night actually which was honestly kind of funny. As seven adults we shrugged it off with a laugh, but it would not be good for families with children who need to get to sleep early (probably). In any case, we all managed to fall asleep! Many thanks for a special Christmas in Portland!

Great
