We found fun places to go. Treasure hunting in the antiques stores. Loved what they’ve done with the brewery. Absolutely found the rustic apartment adorable. Definitely my type of vibe. We would recommend this to our friends.
We enjoyed our stay in Portsmouth! It was very roomy,clean, and the host was wonderful. The only thing I would recommend is a new mattress for the sleeper sofa.
We were very pleased with our accommodations. Clean and roomy, tastefully decorated and all things needed for a comfortable stay. We will probably be staying here again for another stay.
The property was just what we needed for our stay in Portsmouth. Close walk to the murals, antique stores and restaurants. Property was clean and loved the cabin like feel of the inside.
This was a fun place to stay in Portsmouth. It was walking distance to shops, restaurants or a cup of coffee. The place was comfortable and clean.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
I was disappointed with this booking experience. The website stated that check-in instructions would be provided three days prior, but I never received them and had to contact customer service because I was unable to reach the host. Response times were consistently slow.More concerning, the host was aware of intermittent plumbing issues for at least two weeks but failed to disclose this before our arrival. Upon check-in, we discovered that the shower would not drain and the toilet was backed up. Multiple attempts to fix it with a plunger were unsuccessful.When I messaged the host, it took over an hour to receive a response. She stated she had tried to send a message earlier that day about the issue, but we never received anything. By the next morning, the problem had worsened significantly, with water overflowing and the entire house smelling of raw sewage. The only response we received was that it was “out of her control.”To make matters worse, we were refunded less than half of the total cost, which did not reflect the severity of the situation or the impact on our stay.The last message sent was asking for a reason why we weren’t issued a full refund and we never received a response. This is extremely disappointing and poor communication on the host. I was surprised since the previous reviews didn’t mention any issues.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Apr 2026
We sincerely apologize that this stay was marred by these communication and plumbing issues.
We have taken this as a learning opportunity and have made the following changes:
Check-in: We now send a follow-up text message to ensure check-in emails aren't lost in spam filters.
The Plumbing: We are relieved to share that after a week of extensive work with the city and private plumbers, a permanent fix was completed on March 27th.
We did our best to provide options prior to and during the stay and a partial refund afterwards because we understand how disruptive a plumbing emergency is. Our hope is that these guests have better stays in the future.
The property is a little more rustic than I thought it would be but it is clean and conformable. Could have used a few more amenities like paper towels, tissues, and kitchen items. Dishes are china and I was afraid to use them in the microwave.
My travel partner has never stayed in a Vrbo so this was my surprise for him. There are specifically two reasons I chose this place: 1) When I read why it was decorated in a rustic theme, I knew it was perfect bc my friend loved cowboys and Indians when he was a little boy. 2) No driving for two days! We were IN the historic district and could walk everywhere. We mainly came to shop for antiques. The apartment was quiet, comfortable, and we felt completely safe. Street parking right at the entrance was no problem. Highly recommend!
Everything was A-One as far as the management and facilities are concerned. Slight hiccups were handled properly and efficiently. This was our second stay at this property.
