Spacious and well-decorated apartment

We were happily surprised to discover that this apartment was more spacious than we expected. The decor was eclectic and attractive. We loved the location because we could easily walk anywhere downtown and to the Western Promenade. The stairs are very narrow and steep if that might be an issue for someone. We would definitely rent this apartment again when we’re in Portland.

Amazing place

The place is amazing. We spent a long weekend there. It’s spacious and Well stocked with everything a family will need. It’s close to everything important in Portland, and we could walk everywhere by parking our car in our designated parking slot. The host Brad was reachable anytime I had any question, He helped make our trip a memorable one. Overall I highly recommend this place to anyone wishing to travel with family to Portland.

Great Location, Cozy Apt!

My husband and our pups loved this apartment. Great location with easy parking, plus loved the decor of the place! I'd be aware of the lack of AC in the summer months, but we had great weather and didn't have any issues. Owner was great and easy to communicate with, provided a ton of tips and great directions. We would definitely rent again when we return to Portland! Thanks for the great stay :)

Quirky and a surprise

Getting luggage up to third floor a little hard, but once your there, we loved it. It felt like it was totally the right place to be staying in Portland with all their huge brick homes! Very clean and roomy. Loved the antiques and who doesn’t love a claw foot tub! Definitely walkable to lots of activities. Owner was very involved in seeing that everything was ok! We loved it and had a great time in Portland.

Cool place

My husband and I had a lovely time here. Brad was very friendly and helpful and easy to reach. We didn’t really cook much so I can’t speak to that. There are tons of great restaurants around. The neighborhood is fun and cool. Pro tip: if you plan on sticking around town, don’t rent a car. You don’t need it and parking in Portland is rough. A large car would be hard to park in the allotted space.

Perfect Portland Getaway!

My wife and I stayed in this apartment for our honeymoon and were so happy with our stay! The apartment is very spacious, clean, and has all the amenities you’d need. The location is EXCELLENT - within walking distance of all the great shops and restaurants on Congress St. and also very walkable to Old Port. We were nervous that the fire station being on the same block would be disruptive, but we only heard sirens a few times. The apartment is quiet for being on a main road. It’s on the third floor so it’s a lot of stairs to get up to it - just something to keep in mind if you have any mobility issues. Brad was very communicative and a great host! We LOVED staying here and will plan on staying again the next time we’re in Portland!

Keyless lock issue and a live freaking bat

Pros: Property was attractive and *largely* in good condition, architecturally interesting, comfortable bed, good location. Cons: 1) bedroom rug needs a good steam clean (felt gummy), 2) bedroom window lets in a lot of ambient noise (impossible to sleep through early-morning construction next door), 3) host provided incorrect instructions on how to lock keyless entry doors (our belongings were unsecured for hours while we were out to dinner), and 4) not all of the windows have good screens so A BAT GOT INTO THE APARTMENT AND WE HAD TO GO TO THE ER FOR RABIES VACCINATIONS. Host said it must have been a sparrow, then admitted they’d had bats before if windows were left open. But there were no warnings not to open X window because its screen didn’t work or we might let in a bat! That’s what window screens are for!! We checked out early and the host issued us a refund without complaint for the nights we didn’t stay at his place, but we lost a significant portion of our vacation, had to miss out on planned activities, and felt like crap half the time we were there thanks to this fiasco. And we still have to dedicate time and money to it now that we’re home since rabies is a 4-part series that apparently many medical facilities besides ERs won’t do due to its complexity. Fun. I need a vacation from having tried to go on vacation. 😣 Maybe this seems silly to some, but bats getting into people’s homes isn’t a problem you hear about where I live.

Charming and convenient Portland apartment!

This property was extremely charming and convenient! We enjoyed using the kitchen and the bathroom/shower was in fantastic condition! We were visiting Portland during an unusual heat wave and found that the single window unit was not enough to effectively cool the apartment down so we were quite hot for the duration of our stay unfortunately. Additionally, we found the mattress on the bed to be quite uncomfortable. With the addition of a better temperature control system and a new mattress or mattress topper I would give this place 5 stars! Thank you for your hospitality!

Location, Location, Location

We enjoyed a 6-night stay. Can't beat the location for visiting Old Port, Art District, Portland Head Light, and breweries in East End. Easy access to highways for exploring beyond Portland area. Guaranteed parking great but tight. Spacious apartment with lots of charm and character for 2 or 3 guests. Modern kitchen with ample cooking and dining provisions. Free use of shared laundry room with newer washer and dryer. Would emphasize this apartment is the 3rd floor/attic of a townhome built in 1890 so first impressions of exterior and interior are not great. Husband and I are in our 50's but no problem using stairs as mentioned in a previous review. Questionable professional cleaning because of dust on decor, ceiling fan, blinds and pink mold on shower liner, but everything otherwise appeared clean. Minimal instructions from owner, and he contacted us with checkout instructions after we left.

No major issues other than cleanliness of property and functionality of toilet.

Property was as advertised and the property manager was very responsive. My only issues were the cleanliness of the property and the barely functional toilet. The linen closet was a disaster. We didn’t know if anything had been washed. We were hesitant to sleep in bed. There was dust and cobwebs throughout the property. The shared laundry room was even worse. Piles of dirty sheets, towels, and garbage. The garbage looked as it had been there for days/weeks with the swarm of flies buzzing around. The toilet had make shift parts to keep it barely operational. At one point the wire, not chain, connected the flapper dislodged and I was forced to fix in order to flush the toilet. A good cleaning and some maintenance would have made a world of difference.

Nice & spacious, conveniently located! FREE parking!

Apartment is conveniently located near the medical center, easily walkable or a very short drive to all the fun stuff. Apartment is spacious, clean, and well-stocked for your stay. State Theatre and Hadlock Field are only a couple blocks away and plenty of shops, restaurants, bars are within reach. Even the Eastern Prom & Thompson’s Point are only a mile away (in either direction). Five min drive to Ft Williams Park, where you’ll find the world famous Head Light. There is so much to do, I seriously couldn’t find enough time in 5 days to do it all!

Cozy and spacious apartment

It is a charming apartment with a lot of wall decorations and furnishings. It is very spacious with a fully equipped kitchen and a king bed. Despite being on the top floor and temperatures being pretty warm during our stay, the apartment stayed decently cool with the numerous windows to open and a surprisingly powerful window AC unit in the bedroom. The only thing we wished for was that it was a little cleaner when we got there. The towels were not yet fully dried so they took on a musty smell. There were sticky spots on the kitchen counter, the dishwasher was not run and was full of dirty dishes, and the bed sheets had some stains and could probably be replaced. Brad was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Check-in was flawless. Overall it was a great place to stay for the price.
