Sweet accommodations
The place was as advertised. Historic building but with all the modern updates. Beautiful kitchen. Nice beds. Washer and dryer came in handy. Close to where I needed to go. Overall it was great.
Rooms were big and clean. The apartment is in a cute neighborhood. It is a bit bare-boned though in terms of kitchen utensils, which wasn't a problem for us but keep in mind if intending to cook here.
Stayed in the harbor area of Portsmouth for a work seminar. The location was beautiful and the home above expectations. Old floors were a bit noisy so I hope I didnt disturb the downstairs neighbors too much but others a fantastic location
Pictures do not do the unit justice. It is much larger than the pictures make it seem. Plenty of towels were provided (along with paper goods). Three adults stayed for a week, and we never felt crowded. It’s also in a great location with a beautiful view. Walked to the downtown area easily. We cooked most meals while there. Kitchen had all the essentials. If I ever find myself in the area again, I would definitely seek out this unit!

The property was nice and right by the water. Parking was easy. It rained and caused a little flooding but that didn’t affect our stay. The host was prompt and responsive. The property was very nice and had 2 bedrooms and a nice sized living room, eating area and kitchen. I wish the rooms had blackout curtains but honestly that wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I plan to book again soon.
