We would absolutely go back. Clean and well kept. The kitchen was very well stocked. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to great restaurants, breweries and outdoor activities. Owners were friendly and helpful.
Our stay at the Back Cove Gem was perfect. It's a full apartment in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts provided everything we needed for a great stay, including good recommendations for local restaurants within walking distance of the house. Everything was neat as a pin and cozy. We had a great time. The one tiny drawback for us was that the apartment is on the third floor and we are old farts and are no longer used to racing up stairs. But we knew what we were getting into when we made the reservation. Truly, it was a lovely stay.
Lovely place in a great neighborhood. Danni and Sean are superb hosts!
If you are looking to visit the Portland area and need a place to stay and sleep, this is it. A short ride, 5 minutes, from downtown Portland. It is a perfect place to stay and sleep. Highly recommended if you are looking for a great value. We appreciated all the hospitality.
Fantastic experience and property. The hosts made the rental experience comfortable and welcoming. I would highly recommend to my friends and family. Plenty of parking and a nice source of daily exercise going to the third floor. It was beautiful and well kept with easy access to stores, restaurants, and downtown.
Perfect location - we walked most everywhere we wanted to go in the city. Great stay!
Everything was great! Would definitely recommend!
DISCLAIMER: This property is an apartment located in a 3-story building, with a family with a young child directly below. During weekday mornings there tends to be typical noise associated with getting ready in the morning that is audible, so if you are particularly noise sensitive keep that in mind. That said, everything else was great!!! The hosts were super communicative (really cannot emphasize this enough), and the property was a perfect size for us. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. It's not very far from downtown Portland. However, I would recommend bringing a car if you have the option. Overall a great experience, I would highly recommend this property to anyone!
Really enjoyed my stay at the “Back Cove Gem”. Danni was communicative throughout the booking and very welcoming when I was onsite. The location was exactly as I’d hoped - 1 block from Back Cove and a 5min drive or inexpensive Uber to downtown Portland. I’ll be back!
We stayed here for 4 nights and it was perfection. We got in at midnight with no troubles at all!! There was coffee and condiments ready for us in the morning, the place was utterly spotless, the bed was so comfortable, it was just the perfect space. The location was wonderful- could literally walk anywhere we wanted to go including downtown and the port area. Even closer was a great brew pub, pizza place and other awesome places, all within a 7 minute walk. The pictures do not show how bright and clean and perfectly decorated it is. I would give this 10 stars if I could. The host was just awesome. It was indeed a gem!!!
We enjoyed our stay in this downtown apartment. Very comfy beds and a nice kitchen table and living room area. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Very clean apartment and excellent communication from both Sean & Danni.
