• Belfast Maine apartment

  5/5

  A nice, clean apartment. Stairs were an issue but we managed.

• NOTHING CHARMING HERE

  1/5

  We called this place "the dump." It was dirty, dank, and noisy. Here are the low lights:

  The first coffee cup I picked up had not been washed. The oven was filthy, greasy, and the baking sheet in the oven had crumbs on it. Floor fan was covered with dust and lint. In the bathroom, I picked up a hand towel that smelled like urine.

  Granted the heat wave and high humidity made the situation bad, but the shabby furniture covered with blankets made it worse. The house sits 35 feet from a main road in Belfast, and the necessarily open windows brought incessant traffic noise right into the living room. And the bedroom. Starting at 5am.

  The lack of amenities was sad. No salt and pepper shakers or dish towels in the kitchen. (Wash clothes do not count.) No kitchen garbage bags or baggies. One ice tray in the freezer. Two very thin and thread bare bath towels. The plastic flowers in Goodwill vases and stapled to every wall in the house are not "charming."

  On a positive note, the bathroom was fine and the washer dryer was great. We started by washing the "smelly" hand towel.

  We did contact the manager to ask about a humidifier --anything to help the air conditioner in the bedroom. He did nothing. We left three days early on a two week stay.

• Convenient, my kids near by, always love Belfast.

  4/5

  The apartment was very spacious, a very nice feel. Nice lighting. The mattress on the bed is a bit hard and i really should of brought my own pillows. Other than than that, a lovely stay.

• Wonderful Stay

  5/5

  The rental was located as part of beautiful, well kept historic home right in the town of Belfast. There was two of us and this fit all of our needs nicely. The house was well appointed with a great kitchen and nice bathroom. The bedroom and bath were located upstairs with living room and kitchen downstairs. One caution is the stairs are steep but manageable for most older people. One suggestion would be a grab bar on the right hand side of the stairs at the top, to serve as a handhold and also to shield the stairway from a possible person falling from the small landing area. Otherwise the property was in a perfect area to explore Belfast and the surrounding areas. Would stay again.

• Overall - great location

  3/5

  I would recommend letting people know the stairs up to the bathroom/bedroom are very steep - good thing there are railing on both sides of the stairs.

  I would also recomment doing something with the top of the railing, very pointy, if someone were to fall (very slim walkway up stairs) they could do some damage due to that railing.

  Manager's Response:

  Owner's response: "Karenlee, we thank you for your feedback and will be sure that we have the correct verbiage in the listing so that our potential guests know that stairs are required to access the bedroom/bathroom on the 2nd floor. We will also look into the top of the railing to see if something needs to be done.
  
  We're sorry for the inconvenience. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. We will continue to deliver the 5-star experiences know we can deliver. "
