AIRBNB’S WORTH CHECKING OUT

Accommodation

Portland has this charm about it, where everyone smiles at you on the street, they are chatty and inviting and quite honestly i’m convinced that I should move there! With that it can be quite a process when finding the right accommodation for you. Even though you don’t hear this very often from me, the main Arts District and Old Port although being very tourist driven, I can recommend staying in the area. The reason being is that the area remains humble and welcoming to locals and people who are seeking hidden gems like us! We’ve spent our life looking for places that offer an experience that may not pop up on every travel blog and we think that Portland is perfect for finding that balance.

An airbnb that stood out to us based on location, design and overall great customer service would be The East End Apartment not only because we love the open loft design but because the owner is a publisher and editor-in-chief of Decor Maine magazine and previously the founder of Maine Home+Design. She’s a great host and can offer many amazing tips about where to go and what to see!

Raw Oyster Bar Crawl

Good Eats

Now we know that seafood is what Maine is pretty well known for and if you’re like us; coming from the city you cannot wait to get your hands on some freshly caught seafood.

We decided to spend the day exploring @visitportland and checking out some of the best raw oyster bars in the city. One oyster bar that caught out attention above any others was this cute spot called @portlandoystershop Not only did they have the best selection of oysters, but they also had a seriously chill vibe. 🤙🏽 The thing about Oyster bars is that sometimes there is a fancy pretentious vibe which we aren’t always a fan of, we like to have experience based food and try many options! Also as Canadians, paying $3 USD for one oyster just isn’t worth it. The Shop was great for reasonably priced $1 oysters! They have a large inside dining room, and a large patio and although we were there in the day we can only imagine that it comes alive at night also! The sun came out to play that day for us so really what more could you ask for!
