My husband and I stayed in Mitchell's home for over 3 weeks. Mitchell was easy to get in touch with and we often saw him around the house. The apartment is on the bottom of a three floor house and mostly private. You will see and hear the neighbors above you, but that's expected with an older apartment. As other reviewers noted, the deck looks across the street at a septic company. Besides the view, this didn't bother us (no smells, etc.) Inside of the listing is as pictured. The furniture was much more outdated than we expected and the kitchen is large though sparsely stocked. There was only one AC unit, but Mitchell quickly brought us another one when it become hot. The location is on the edge of the commercial and residential area of Portsmouth. Quick walk to the beach, which was perfect for walks with our dog (didn't see a many swimmers). Otherwise we really enjoyed driving across the bridge to Bristol or down to Newport.
