Place was quite handy to everything we needed and wanted!

The place was nice and cozy. The place was mostly clean but we did find a few spots that could have been cleaned better (Kitchen Table). Other than this the place was great.

Communication issues

The property itself was clean and communication initially seems great. Master bed was comfortable. Pull out couch mattress has seen better days. Be aware- this property is run by a company (Vacasa) not an individual person. When we arrived the wifi was not working. We kept getting an error message that the router needed to be reset however there was no router found in the areas we could access in the unit. I contacted Vacasa that night by chat and by phone. The chat first told me that wifi was not provided at the unit (in contradiction to the listing info) then shortly thereafter I was given the name and password (which I already had) and then was told to reset the router multiple times even though I had made it clear there was no router in the unit. I had a little more success with the operator however his solution was to send out a local person to fix it who was supposed to contact me before coming so I knew to expect a stranger at the door but I did not receive any calls and no one came to fix it during our stay. I received no follow up communication from Vacasa. Location was convenient. Could walk to Old Port and the harbor easily.

Excellent 4 nights in this wonderful accommodation

My two sisters and I loved everything about the place especially the kitchen and the temperature control via AC or heat. The only concern about the place is that it took 1-3 tries each time we had to unlock the front door by code. There was supposed to be music to help but couldn't really hear anything. May need some attention but have to admit we never alerted anyone at the time thinking it was related to our ineptitude! I tried to do this review on the Vacasa site but the page never came up (arrow round and round...).

Nicely renovated and furnished.

I could have moved right in with all the amenities. We especially liked the gas fireplace, bathroom and kitchen. King bed was comfortable. Pullout couch no comfortable for our adult son, but would be fine for kids or teenagers. Off-street parking was a treat. Easily accessible to downtown and neighborhood shops, restaurants and bakeries, walking or driving.

Great place to stay

The kitchen was very well equipped. Living room was so cozy with the fire. Bed was super comfortable. The unit has really tall ceilings and is cozy. Only issue was the dog upstairs. They kept barking and whining.

Spotlessly Clean

Beautiful and spacious 1 bedroom apartment in a comfortable neighborhood. Bed was good. We enjoyed the gas fireplace during our December stay. Walked to everything in Portland and had a great time. Our only complaints were that we didn't know they didn't provide coffee, and for brewing options we had the choice of a Keurig or a percolator. Also the ice maker in the refrigerator wasn't working and there were no ice cube trays. And there were practically no condiments or cooking necessities such as oil or spices outside of salt and pepper. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful visit and we would happily come back here the next time we visit.

Amazing stay

We could not have chosen a better location or home for our girls trip! My two daughters and I decided on a trip to Portland Maine just because we had never been. The location was so convenient and great walking distance to some fantastic shops and restaurants. Day trips to Kennybunkport and Camden neither of which were far away. Place was so comfortable, clean and quiet we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Leaf Peeping stopover

Loved this property. This was our last stop after traveling all through Maine. Everything was clean and location was great. Had off street parking and we could walk everywhere. Only note I would offer to property managers is heavier curtains for bedroom. .

Walkable to excellent dining and Portland Harbor

Great location in trendy neighborhood make this property ideal for seasoned travelers who are comfy walking in an urban environment. We especially enjoyed proximity to great dining and the harbor. We would have preferred the property be cleaner and the bed more comfortable.

Great place - book it!

At first, with the road construction and a boarded up building a few blocks away, we were apprehensive, but those misgivings soon vanished. This place is great. Close enough to downtown to walk (long walk but saves ridiculous parking fees). Great restaurants and convenience stores near by. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Long Easter Weekend

I gave Communication with the Property Manager a "Good" because we really had no communication with them. There were a couple of text communications with Vacasa, the property management company, but there was no reason for any other communication. I gave the location/neighborhood a "Good" because there were a couple of side streets that were concerning. We were also surprised by the number of homeless people in the City of Portland. Overall we were glad we stayed here and would stay here again if we went back to Portland.

Beautiful Home

This home was beautiful, comfortable and clean. However the blinds on the bedroom windows were not fitted snuggly, leaving a 1 1/2” - 2” gap which made it very easy for anyone to look in the sides of the windows. Otherwise it was a sweet home.

Perfect Portland getaway

Loved everything about this property. The proximity to the local food co-op was perfect for making breakfast each morning in that wonderful kitchen. Such a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of great espresso, beer, distillery, and Duck Fat Frites. Easy to get anywhere in and outside of Portland from here. The bed was huge and comfy, the whole property was immaculate inside and out. We hope to come back again next time business takes us to the area!

comfortable home in a great location

mid december is admittedly an odd time to be on vacation in portland me, but unseasonably warm weather and lack of snow worked out to our advantage even if half the state shuts down in october. this house was an easy walk to good restaurants, bars, and an out of this world hilltop sunset view. it was meticulously clean and everything in the home was in good working order. there are people living above the unit, and they were somewhat audible walking around, but everything got very quiet after 10pm, so it was not an issue for us. would definitely stay here again, but maybe before the October shutdown ;-)

Nice place with some rough edges.

The place is nice and modern, if a bit sterile feeling. The kitchen lacked things like coffee (to use in the percolator, the only coffee maker provided) and even sugar (we left some). The kitchen knives appeared to have not been sharpened for years. When we arrived we discovered the gas fireplace would not light. We phoned the manager (actually an acting manager filling in for the "actual" manager, who was away), who promised someone would get in touch about a repair person to come by to fix it. The next day after an outing we returned to find the fireplace blazing away. We assumed it had been repaired and the repair person hadn't bothered to call us. However, after turning the fireplace off for the night, it again refused to light the following morning, leaving two possibilities: 1) the fireplace has to be lit by a repair person each time, who had done so without notifying us, or 2) the fireplace had spontaneously lit itself in our absence. Neither scenario is exactly ideal. We were unable to use it again. We also had an issue with the washing machine, which refused to allow any manual adjustment to the preset settings, like temperature (the manual beside the washer explained in detail how it should work, but it just wouldn't). We explained this issue to the manager our first evening there as well. And that was the only and final conversation we received from the Vacasa management. An actual Vacation Rental BY OWNER, with the possibility of interaction with the true owner, seems to me so much more satisfactory.

Great location for exploring Portland on foot

We enjoyed our stay at A Foodie’s Delight. Only complaint is that the “Foodie’s Delight” is misleading to some extent. Top of the line major appliances, but very sparse on food prep. Things like old school percolator and missing corkscrew are examples. We are foodies, but fortunately we were not in Portland to eat in, so no big deal for us.
