Comfortable, bright, clean
We were pleased with the stay for the most part. Easy access, clean, comfortable. Unfortunately some supplies were short, ie, toilet paper, soap, laundry soap. We requested these but did not hear back in a timely manner. We had to borrow laundry soap and tp from our son, and we bought soap. Eventually all was provided. Even though it was off-season, we thought communication could have been better.

Pleasant
Accomodations where fine. My only critique would be the cleaning. I come from a military background and when we clean it's from top to bottom. I notice dust buildup on the over head light over the dining room table, ceiling fan and above the kitchen cabinets. They also missed cleaning the second shelves under the coffee table which was full of animal hair which I cleaned because it was a turn off for me. Lamp shade could have also used some dusting as well. This is why I only gave you 3 stars. My suggestion is if your going to rent out such a nice apartment then clean it like you live there.

Clean and convenient
This is a tidy, well looked-after place to stay on Mt Desert Island, conveniently close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We spent most of our time out of the apartment, but it was nice to have a comfortable place to relax in the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed - no dishwasher but that wasn't a big deal. The only minor complaint was that it is a little close to a main road (Route 3) and we could hear the traffic passing by. But otherwise, it is a nice place to stay.
