Often choosing a short-term rental over a hotel means missing out on special touches. This was not the case with Michelle's property. The fireplaces and master bath made our trip complete. The little park down the street allowed us to catch the sunrise while taking the dog out. The dog loves watching the neighborhood from the deck while we had coffee in the bright kitchen. We would definitely stay again.

What a wonderful home! The kitchen is light filled and well appointed. We spent a lot of time around the table. The living room is cozy, with an electric stove to warm the room on chilly evenings. The downstairs bedroom was comfortable, though the bathroom is not attached. The shower is quite small for bigger people but we made it work. The stairs are typical old New England, meaning narrow and winding. They were fine for the younger ones in our family. The third floor was the kids hangout and they loved it. The location is ideal for exploring Portsmouth. We enjoyed watching the tide go in and out. Michelle is an excellent host. She responded quickly to questions. She was so accommodating. We would love to return.

The location was great, the house was well stocked with pots/pans/glassware/etc. The bed was comfortable and the main bathroom was very nice. I did find it strange that there were no window treatments in the kitchen/dining area, it was a little strange since the street has a decent amount of foot traffic. It also meant the kitchen was pretty chilly.
