It was our annual girlsâ trip: 4 ladies in early 50sâŠ
The pros:
âGREAT location, can walk to all attractions, restaurants and cute boutiques/shops.
âExcellent communication with host. Instructions were clear and understandable.
âKitchen stocked with more than enough dish ware, silverware, cookware
âBuildingâs laundry room easily accessibleâdid not have to pay & plenty of machines
â2 minute walk to STANDARD BAKERYâwe had breakfast pastries from there every day
The cons:
âNearby businesses had loud music until 12pm on Friday & Saturday nights. So if youâre a light sleeperâbring earplugs or sleep in the living roomâwhich one of us had to do. It was quiet our first & last nights (Thursday & Sunday).
âWe had to install one of the window AC units ourselves, and the parts are not measured to fit the window sill properly, so we had to âjerry-rigâ it with a hand towel to make it work.
âThe Fore Street parking garage was expensive at $60/day. My friend parked at the Cumberland County Courthouse parking garage, which is at $30/day & 10 minute walk. We did have to exit & re-enter each day with that garage, even if we spent the entire day in Portland.
Nonetheless, this property was still reasonably priced compared to area lodging. Would definitely re-book with earplugs:noise cancelling headphones packed in suitcase.
