Large, stylish apartment
Pros:

This apartment was very large and stylishly decorated, in a building that is quite stunning from the outside, and well located in the Old Port. The young woman at the front entrance was friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place to stay (the only exception being the broken hairdryer)!

Cozy, comfortable, clean, elegant.
Pros:

I came here with a friend to watch a TV series as I recover from surgery. The room was beautiful and comfortable and cozy. A perfect atmosphere as we were spending ALL of our time in the room and not exploring downtown Portland. That said, we loved the location so much that we decided we have to come back when I can be more mobile and enjoy both inside and outside the room!

A Perfect Winter Getaway
Pros:

The Docent is located right in town. We easily walked to all restaurants, shops, and attractions. The apartment was lovely, comfortable, and spotless with many thoughtful touches. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were especially impressed with Connor Blair. This was our second year of staying in a Docent apartment for a winter holiday, and we have plans to make it an annual tradition.
