Wonderful Visit
We really enjoyed this home and the location. The upgrades were beautiful and the restaurants nearby were amazing. When we checked out and took out our trash the outside bin had a lock on it so our only issue was not being able to access that but that wasn’t anyone’s fault.

Cute little spot near oxbow. Short drive to downtown. Great kitchen if you cook. Neighborhood seems Soso during the day and strangely decent at night. Pretty ideal. Best deal the weekend we stayed even over all the hotels. Worked out great.

Clean / cute /great location
The owners /management were great. I can’t think of anything they could do better. The place is cute spacious, very clean. Other reviews complain about neighbors and location. One night we heard the upstairs people come home, other than that totally quiet. It is very walkable to tons of restaurants /bars/shops. It’s just not down in old port like some of the hotels. The neighborhood is just a bit of a mix of older places and rehabbed places. We never felt unsafe at all. I would absolutely stay here again.

My husband and I picked the Portland area to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We had a great time exploring Maine and our stay at the "Foodies Delight" was great. The place was centrally located to many of the charming neighborhoods that Portland has to offer.

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...).

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.

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful kitchen, great location
We spent a week In this apartment in a perfect location, about a15 minute walk to downtown Portland. It has been very thoughtfully and tastefully redone by the owner. Absolutely top line kitchen appliances, good lighting, easy access, off street parking. The only negatives are lack of some basic extras we have come to expect ( a drip coffee maker, not a percolator; basic pantry items like salt and pepper, napkins, placemats), very soft mattress and bright bedroom with no blackout shades, and lack of instructions for some appliances or a user manual. Addressing these would make it a perfect rental.
