Prime Location.Private Rooftop Deck.Walk to Old Port,Waterfront, Museum & Music

Cozy apartment, close to everything! We walked to Batson River, Congress Street, and the Old Port. Also loved Gill's, right across the street!

The property was quaint and cozy and was perfect for our family of four. Our favorite part was the private roof deck - great space for hanging out and enjoying the beautiful weather. Kathy was the perfect host and sent us many recommendations on things to do, restaurants, etc. The property is in a wonderful location and we walked to everything that we wanted to see. We had a great stay!

Clean and close to downtown.

We has the best stay at this property. Gorgeously decorated with so many conveniences. I truly loved how close we were to downtown Portlands lively city. When I come back to visit I'll definitely book again.

Five stars! Would highly recommend this spot. Great food nearby. Very cozy, and Kathy is super responsive.

This apartment was perfect for our 8th annual mother-daughter weekend. The location was spot-on for the eating, shopping and walking we wanted to do. Bedrooms were comfortable and beds each had reading lamps--a must. Our Friday night restaurant choice, Bao Bao, is right across the street, and you can't do better than that. Minor issues regarding the internet password were instantly resolved with the host who was super responsive. Last but not least, the roof-top deck was wonderful--for morning coffee, for afternoon cocktails, for relaxation. Although it is true as other reviewers have said that there are two steep staircases to get to the unit, that is a small price to pay for what you get--being outside in a lovely private setting with views of the city. Kind of like being in an urban, luxurious tree house.

This place was excellent. As others have noted, the steps to get up to the top floor are especially steep and narrow. But it’s 1,000 percent worth it! You feel like you’re perched on top of Portland in a cozy, well-appointed nest. The accommodations were so great that it was hard to break away and go explore the city, which is right outside the door! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location and lovely roof top deck. Needed and extra check in code and property manager got back right away. Perfect for our days in Portland!

I was traveling with my daughter and infant granddaughter. About a month out, when I realized there was no elevator and 2 flights of narrow stairs, and we had 3 pieces of luggage and a stroller, I wanted to cancel our reservation but there is a NO REFUND POLICY on this unit. I asked the owner if we could get in before the late afternoon check-in since we landed at the airport at 11:00 a.m. and we had a baby with us. She said 2 p.m. at the earliest even though no one had rented the unit the day before, which means she could have had the unit ready for us first thing that day but just didn't want to accommodate us. Therefore, we were forced (remember the no refund policy!) to rent the unit the day before we arrived in Portland so we could go straight to the unit. When we opened the front door we were looking at a dresser and 6 bags of laundry in the tiny foyer. After getting the 3 suitcases up the first flight of stairs, we could only muster the energy to get one more suitcase up the second set of very narrow, steep stairs. So we left the other two suitcases on the 2nd floor landing. Left the stroller on the first floor next to the bags of laundry. The unit was clean, but a full length mirror had fallen (no one's fault) and shattered and there was no broom in the unit. There was a nice outdoor patio that would have been nice to use in the evening, but all 3 nights we were there, the unit below us that was to our immediate right and just about 10 feet below, had a loud gathering and music and singing (yes, singing) so we couldn't even hear each other talking so we retreated indoors. We could still hear the party from inside but at least we could hear each other. I can't blame anyone for that--its their right to do that but kinda ruined our chance to use the patio. It may be because of the pandemic but at least 50% of the shops and restaurants in this neighborhood were closed. You can walk to the shops and restaurants on the waterfront easy enough (10 to 15 minute walk) but you definitely want to leave this neighborhood to eat and drink. If you are someone who likes the bedroom dark when you sleep, bring an eye mask. Both bedrooms have transparent bamboo-type shades, and the street lights shine thru at night. I would suggest to anyone thinking about this unit to think twice if you have: a suitcase, or a child, or a stroller, or a bad knee, or 2 bad knees!

This property is very comfortable, cosy and spotlessly clean and tidy. The roof terrace is an awesome addition which gives a little extra space to spread out if there are 4 of you (we are a couple with 14 year-old son so space wasn't an issue, but 2 couples would probably appreciate the extra space). We had a couple of (very minor) issues during our stay and the host, Kathy, was amazingly responsive and communication was great. She was very pro-active and keen to ensure that we had a great stay. The apartment has an excellent AC unit in the main room which was very efficient, but the window unit in the main bedroom was loud and not very effective. However, for 2 nights during our stay we experienced record 100f+ temps which barely dropped overnight, and were comfortable with all the internal doors open allowing the main AC unit to cool the space with a fan in the main bedroom helping airflow. During normal Maine weather, it shouldn't be a concern at all. One other comment is that the 2 flights of stairs to the apartment are steep and narrow and would be challenging for seniors or for those with young kids. Again, not a concern for most people. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property and it's excellent owner, and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
