The perfect location in Portsmouth
This was a perfect spot for the Portsmouth stop on our vacation. Bell was so very accommodating for our checkin and met us there at the agreed time. I have read other reviews about the common areas of the building and yes, it is a bit rough around the edges, however, the apartment has clearly, recently been updated. The bathroom was modern and clean and had a great supply of soaps, lotions and shampoos (a real treat). The bedroom was updated, with a comfy bed and had lots of storage and space for our luggage and the kitchen was well stocked. There was even a supply of milk, bread and a bottle of wine upon arrival. Bell was also able to provide us with parking passes (￡5/day) which was incredibly useful and inexpensive. The living room was probably the space that was the least appealing (could have used a carpet to warm it up) as the sofa was lightly stained, the TV on the wall "flopped" down so we had to use the fan to prop it up to see it and only 1 of 3 lights above the island worked. For us these were minor inconveniences as we were not in the apartment a lot but fixing them would make a difference. Additionally, Bell sent us information regarding restaurants in the area and food stores, however, it would have been easier if it was in a book in the apartment for reference (this did not prevent us from doing anything). We did enjoy our stay and would probably stay here again given the great location.
