the apartment is lovely and sunny, with period character everywhere. the location is perfect for walking in the lovely Muntjoy Hill, taking in cafes and wine bars, and a good walk to Downtown and harbour front. The apartment was very clean and tidy. NB the spiral staircase to the roof is not for everyone.

Great stay in a great location!

This place was perfect for a weekend in Portland. The apartment was larger than expected and fit 4 friends with plenty of the space. Also the sunroom and two outdoor decks were a great touch. In addition to that, the location was amazing with plenty to do right near the apartment and was a close walk to downtown. Would highly recomend to any coming to visit Portland!

A perfect getaway in Portland. This vacation rental is so charming and in a great location. The house is clean and well equipped. The decor is lovely. We loved having coffee on the rooftop in the morning. A nice walk to town. Highly recommend this vacation rental!

We loved staying here! A beautiful second floor apartment with beautiful rooms. The views are spectacular. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms clean, and the neighborhood- very dear. We walked to many good restaurants. Favorites are Bread and Friends and Honey Paw. Bread and Friends, a wonderful bakery, serves dinner just a few nights a week.. Book ahead!!! Honey Paw is next to Eventide which we missed due to long wait times. Double Great Coffee is just a block and a half from the apartment and a delicious morning stop. My family agrees. This is the place to stay next time we come to Portland!

Great place to stay, very clean and comfortable, definitely more spacious than I could tell from photos - the sunroom and rooftop are especially lovely in good weather. Easy parking. Really good location next to a few great neighborhood spots, close to Washington Ave and not far from old port/downtown area. Highly recommend!

What a truly gorgeous, spacious, charming, thoughtful home away from home. We made tremendous use of the fully stocked kitchen and perfect little screening room. Jennifer was notably warm, responsive, and accommodating. We loved how we didn’t need a car—everything was walkable and perfect. Thank you for the loveliest getaway!

This was a perfect location for our visit to Portland. The second (and third) floor apartment is located in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with ample parking and within walking distance of restaurants and sights - or a short drive to downtown. Owner Jennifer was responsive and included nice touches like chocolate and coffee, plus plenty of glasses, plates, etc. One night it was nice to get takeout and have a nice dining area to sit. If I had one quibble it was that the blinds in both bedrooms let in more natural light than we all preferred, but nothing is perfect. I recommend the property and would stay there again. It's a lovely, comfortable home away from home.

Do yourself a favor and book this apartment. Comfortable and stylish. Spotlessly clean. Plenty of space for our family of 4. The sun room was so dreamy and the roof top deck was delightful. Must be able to climb steep stairs though!

Such a charming and well appointed apartment. Plenty of space to enjoy and spread out. We visited in January so we could not make use of the two outdoor spaces. The views from both were amazing! Great location in a cute neighborhood and a quick drive to the Old Port. Jennifer is a responsive and helpful host. We would love to return!

Wonderful First day of Spring weekend

This property is an absolute gem! It is well appointed, clean, and homey, with beautiful succulents placed all around. The property manager, Jennifer, was always just a text/phone call away and provided restaurant suggestions, which were very helpful.Back to the property: it is nestled amongst a quiet neighborhood of homes, some dating back 100 years. Walking from the house to the Old Port area was a pleasure. In fact, we walked everywhere and never drove our car during our stay.We all would be happy to stay at this property again.

Lovely place!

This place is incredible. It is very spacious, the decor is beautiful, the house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable beds. tall ceilings, and beautiful artwork. It feels like a very high end rental but also very comfortable at the same time. The two outdoor areas are wonderful to drink a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with views of Casco Bay. Quiet area of town and walkable to everything in the East End, and Old Port. Jennifer was a great host. We loved our stay and will hopefully be back!

Visit Portland

Stayed a couple nights to check out the Portland area while traveling through. Stay had plenty of room. And was nice to see plenty of coffee available with the k cup machine which we didn’t bring with so that was nice to have first morning. Only thing a minus was parking. All street side and never did park on street by door. But quiet enough to have room and time to load and unload while coming and going.
