Clean and comfortable. Would stay here again. ##### Belinda C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### CATHY H. 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This 2-story space proved perfect for our casual family get-together. The bedrooms & baths were on the 2nd story and the open living/dining area with sunny roof deck access on the 3rd. This floorplan supported a good balance of privacy and sociability.We enjoyed being only a 15-20 minute walk from the town center, allowing us to easily choose between dining out, getting take-out. The kitchen was judiciously equipped, allowing us to prepare meals on site as well. All in all, it was a very good "home away from home". ##### CATHY H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michael L. 20 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Loft met our needs for the brief stay, everything was as stated and communication was easy. Make sure you reserve the parking space in advance if you are using a car as the neighborhood isn't easy for parking. My only real issue is the mattress choice wasn't as comfy as I would have liked but thats a personal preference, not a real reason not to rent. ##### Michael L. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### June A. 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is a very cute historic property. Very clean with all essentials. The deck had a fantastic view. The skylights upstairs were beautiful and you could watch the seagulls fly by while watching a movie in the living room. This is definitely a typical Maine historic apartment. If you are up for beautiful historic features and adventure, this is the place for you. Nice walk to restaurants and shopping. I would warn you, if you have a disability or a bit older, it may be a bit harder for you to get around this property and walk to downtown. This unit has several stairs and is an uphill walk. ##### June A.
