    This was a last minute trip and also my first time using VRBO so everything was new to me. I was given clear check in instructionsupon booking. Walked into the unit and was greeted by lovely snacks and a personalized greeting card that was appreciated. The space was very clean and tidy I love the skylights and how sunny it was. A lovely veiwtio to get some fresh aituhe bed was very comfortable and I had a quick question about visitors and Jennifer was very quick to respond communication has been a breeze with her. My trip ended up being extended and the space that I was in was already booked but I looked on the app and she had other units that were available that were in my price range and she facilitated stress-free switch to her other unit with no downtime in between I was able to go right from one unit to the other even though the unit I was going to was rented the night before need to be cleaned she was very accommodating let me check out late at the current unit then let me know when the unit I was transferring to was ready for me. The bed was very comfortable I slept so well . There was no oven in the kitchen but they provided a microwave and a toaster oven.

    Offering listing showed photo of view looking over a patio to a water view. the house is six houses from the water; the view from the old deck is rooftops and trees. There were tiny bits of blue water through the leaves. The stairs to the second-floor landing were fine; the additional eleven stairs to the apartment door (no landing) have 10 inch risers, making the clime difficult. the stairs have 22 inches between the railing and the wall adding to the difficulty.. I had to drag the carry-on luggage behind me rather than carry it. the apartment was pleasant and clean. The kitchen nook lacked a stove or heating option limiting breakfast to toast and microwave heating options. The WIFI never worked; I was unable to find it at first on the list of available networks; when it finally appeared it indicated that I was out of range. I mentioned this to Jennifer and she said that the router was on the first floor and the system had an interruption: I was unable to connect any time during my stay. The offering listed a variety of TV sources but no instructions on how to access them. I feel that the photo was misleading and it was an intentional scam; I hold Jennifer, Kaitlin and VRBO accountable. I believe the water view picture has been removed and the offering now shows the front of the building.

They also shared great local recommendations that helped us make the most of our trip!Walkability was a game-changer!We only drove twice (hello, Cryptozoology Museum!), but otherwise, we walked everywhere—restaurants, breweries, shops—you name it. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and immersive.Food & Drink Highlights:Eventide – lobster roll, clam chowder, littlenecks, musselsFranciska's – Portuguese-style sardines, crab, golden beets, and fresh sourdoughDuckFat Shack @ Oxbow Brewing – poutine with duck egg, blueberry shake, and great beerFalafel Mafia @ Eastern Promenade – quick, flavorful bitesSissle & Daughters – amazing deli meats, cheeses, hummus, and fresh bread (their sandwiches looked unreal!)Double Great Coffee – excellent scone, breakfast sandwich & coffeeBayside American Cafe – smoked salmon eggs benedict life changingFavorite Breweries: Belleflower & AllagashWe felt incredibly safe walking around—even at night—and that made a huge impression.

Overall I’d recommend to anyone looking for a quiet location within walking distance to the downtown area and only a block or two from the eastern promenade.

    These hosts are so gracious and helpful! It was a nice spot to land for a few nights in Portland. It is as advertised, as far as the very steep stairs and quaint size, which was absolutely fine for us. The only issue we had was with the air conditioning only cooling down the bedroom. The rest of the space was very hot. We were thankful we slept in the cool, at least, but couldn’t enjoy a movie (only tv is in the living room) or just hang out anywhere but the bedroom. We weren’t in the space a ton, so it wasn’t a deal breaker for us, but may be for some. We plan another night there at the end of our stay, so clearly, we do enjoy this cute, well-appointed, little loft. Thanks Jennifer! You were lovely to deal with for our stay.

    I don’t really want to complain because the host were so wonderful. But when we arrived at the place, it was not on the second floor, but on the third floor of a house. The stairs going up three flights were very narrow and very steep. When we got into the place, it was so hot even though there was a little air conditioner in the bedroom no air reached the living room where one of us would’ve been staying. We called the host and they were so gracious to allow us to leave with a promise that they would reimburse us. They did acknowledge that this was the hottest time of the year and that they understood if we were not able to stay there. They did ask that we notify you so that you can begin the process of reimbursing us. Thank you very much.

    What a cute VERY well kept one bedroom apartment. It was the perfect quiet spot for me to get some work and homework done before mettinf friends for dinner. The location is walking distance away from anything you wish to do or eat in Portland, and the VIEW is breathtaking. From the subtle ambiance the hosts took the time to make just right to the cleanliness of the overall space, you will not find a better fit for a one or two person location. It was just what I needed and imagined for my one night away. I returned home refreshed and the space had a lot to do with that.

    I adore this lovely place with so much light and attention to detail. I come and stay while working and visiting a local company. Not only is this place thoughtfully appointed it is a welcome place to come back to in the evenings to relax and knock out some work. Great lighting. Thoughtful placement of extension cords. Good spaces to work. So I get to work and still see out the windows to the beauty that is Portland. Pls stay there and find out for yourself!

    We arrived for a short trip and picked the location for the walkability of the area. 25 minute walk to the Casco Bay Ferry Lines. This gave us a fun afternoon to travel to Peaks Island to explore. We got to eat dinner at The Olive a tasty Lebanese restaurant on the way back to our place. Close to walking paths with great views. Be ready to climb to the third story in this walk up space. Well worth the climb!

    Overall, this place will be on our list of places to stay when we make a return trip. My advice is, if you are pushing 6 foot in height, watch your head. The unit is the 3rd floor unit so the ceilings are slanted more the closer you get to the walls. I've bumped my head a few times. It's a great place to stay.

    My only issue was when I went to cut my girlfriend’s birthday cake and serve my family slices. We ran out of plates so I grabbed some of the blue bowls only to find they filthy and had sticky stuff on them. The tenant before must have just put them back after having cereal or something. Anyway, it was a beautiful spot. Thanks again.

    We stayed at this rental for just one night and it was perfect! The location was great for us, an easy uber ride to the old port area. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and parks nearby. We had an amazing brunch at the Front Room, which was an easy walk from the rental. The rental itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We are Mainers but live about an hour from Portland so this was a perfect one night getaway. We’ll def stay again!

If you have any issues with mobility you should look elsewhere, but that is disclosed in the listing. The last set of stairs are very steep, but we found it charming. I highly recommend this rental.

    We were checked into the wrong unit and asked to move for our second night (not relaxing). There was construction happening in the building...windows being replaced, etc. so we were subject to drilling, hammering and electric saw noises throughout our stay. Our first morning we were awakened by the constant beeping of the workers' van backing into the driveway at 7:15 am. We were promised a full refund and are now being ghosted by the owner and her assistant. We definitely do not recommend this property.

    This place made for a perfect last night of our Maine trip! The location is great, the space looks even bigger than the pictures make it look, and it has everything you need for a nice stay. Jennifer was very communicative, her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she made us feel very welcome. The stairs as mentioned are steep, but wasn’t an issue at all. This spot is about a half hour walk from downtown and the waterfront, and fairly easy to traverse. There are also a number of great spots closer to the apartment. Our tip is to stop at The End for a great cocktail halfway home! Other Portland recs: Miyake, Maps, Bayside American Cafe, Holy Donut and Norimoto Thanks again for a great stay, we will definitely stay here again!

    This is from Terrie and Terri, we recently had the pleasure of spending three days in this lovely space. The apartment is conveniently located and an easy walk to two neighborhood markets and a short drive to several eateries. The interior is very homey and the neighborhood is incredibly quiet. it was a joy to come home from a busy day downtown and just relax with a glass of wine on the private deck with a squirrels eye view. The stairs are challenging with luggage, but worth it!

    I booked this apartment for a few days while my kid was at camp. I wanted something relaxing and quiet, but not too far from things. The apartment could not have been cuter! It was spotless! And the natural light was amazing! The host had thought of everything and it felt more like staying at a friend’s place! I was able to walk to breweries, coffee shops, and amazing restaurants! The next time I’m in Portland, I hope it’s available again!
