The apartment has one bathroom which is on the first floor while the bedrooms are up a short staircase on the second floor. *The stairs leading to the upstairs are steep and may be dangerous for small children and seniors. Guests who have mobility issues or consistently need to access the downstairs bathroom throughout the night may not be the best fit.* There is no washer/dryer or dishwasher in this apartment. There is a $15 charge per night for each additional guest after 2 with a maximum of 4 total in the apartment. Please ensure the guest count is accurate when completing a booking. There is a Smart TV (in the living room) with access to Netflix but no cable or local channels. There are two Mini-Spilt ductless A/C and heat pump units in the apartment. One downstairs in the open kitchen/dining area and one upstairs in the master bedroom. If interior doorways are left open, these units will cool the entire space. There are multiple fans found in the apartment that can be used to circulate the cool air. The apartment is as spacious as a small house and has its own private entrance, but there are other units connected to the building. Guests should expect to see other tenants on the grounds. Maine is the most heavily forested state in the country and there are bugs. Bugs are attracted to light. Entry doors open to the outside and outdoor lights will be left on for safety. When doors are left open, bugs can and will fly in. Since guests will be in an unfamiliar space, light-sensor nightlights are placed in outlets throughout the apartment. They can be unplugged. In an emergency situation and on a rare occurrence, a service technician may need to access the basement of this apartment in the event that there are electrical or heating problems within the building. Guests will be contacted before entry. Summer 2023 - Summer 2024: There is a construction project happening on the block that may create some noise on the weekdays during working hours (7 am-7 pm.)
