My friends and I stayed here in early September and we loved the location. You are within walking distance of countless restaurants and bars. We loved Roma that’s literally steps away and Bramhall that’s below Roma. There are also 2 coffee shops just right down the street and convenience stores. One issue we had was how hot it was in the unit. When we visited Maine, it was during one of the hottest weeks of the year and there was no air conditioning running in the unit when we arrived. It was hotter inside than it was outside (93 degrees). It took about 36 hours to cool down to 76 degrees. It would have been nice for a least one of the a/c units to be running to circulate some of the air. We also could not really go up to the loft area because it was so hot. There is also no elevator since it’s an older building, so pack light or be prepared to carry your bags up 3 flights of stairs. This was all things that we didn’t really think of or consider when booking.

Great location, walking distance to lots of great restaurants. Apt was clean and had all the things we needed for our stay.

The location in Portland is great, easily accessible to everything. Quaint accommodations.

The location is hard to beat and the apartment was lovely. Even in the hot days the apartment cooled down quickly. The two bathrooms were a really great plus. The lofted room was hot and the third bed was not the most comfortable for a long stay. Just be prepared if you’re looking to sleep five or six adults for many nights. Overall great and would book again!

A gorgeous old building with a very modern renovated apartment. The apartment doesn't offer much in the way of kitchen supplies, but with this amazing location in this awesome food city, you should just eat and drink out anyway. Kingsley was responsive and available if we needed anything during our stay. Only one of the bathrooms had shampoo, etc and a hair dryer. There is no central A/C, but a window unit in the main bedroom and a portable unit in the living area. Both are loud but effective for the warm Portland summer. The other bedroom has a fan but could use an air conditioner.

Super location. Very walkable. Clean, quiet accommodations

We had an excellent trip to Portland, Maine in mid-September for a family wedding. The experience was enhanced by the VRBO properties we stayed in – two apartments both owned by the same host – Kingsley, on the second and third floors of a building, very well situated in Portland’s West End area. The apartments were spacious, clean and comfortable and ample parking was provided. This apartment on the third floor was advertised as sleeping 6, which included a mattress in the boutique loft (up a narrow spiral staircase) which was not very convenient for our two grand children and we had to bring the mattress down to the main floor. A proper bed there is needed for the apartment to accommodate 6 persons or else a sleeper sofa on the spacious main floor. There were insufficient towels/hand towels when we checked in (as someone else has also commented). However, the host was extremely accommodating and on receiving a message from me, promptly provided the necessary additional towels within an hour or so. We gave a 4-star to the check in process, only because of the uncertainty of the same. Our host though did email us when we enquired, that he would send us the details on the morning of our start date - unfortunately we received details of this process during our flights to Portland. Other than the above, our entire experience at the apartments was excellent. A positive, helpful host is always a big boon when staying away from home at rented properties. Kingsley was the epitome of a good host! He was also very helpful in shipping back to us our 8-year-old granddaughter’s favorite soft toy that she had left behind. Thank you Kingsley. We have no hesitation in recommending this place.
