Cozy place to stay

Cozy second floor apartment was clean and nicely located with some restaurants nearby (great ice cream/slush across the street) and a 15-20 minute walk to the heart of downtown Portland. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Nice place!

We enjoyed our time at this home. The interior is nice and filled our needs well. I loved the porch and enjoyed sitting out there morning and night. One note, I wouldn't recommend for those with mobility issues as stairs are involved.

Wonderful ladies weekend

Despite the rainy & cold weather we all had a great time in Portland & we could even enjoy the nice terrace for some sunny morning rays on Mother’s Day - just before heading out for a great brunch nearby. Neighbourhood is great & all in walking distance!

Long weekend getaway

Spring St was the perfect spot for a family grt together with our daughters and their partners. Walking distance to much of Portland's exciting food options, large bedrooms, good common space and well equipped with necessities. Communication for check in was on point, and nice to also get a check in from owner to see if we needed anything else. Made for an excellent visit

Graduation weekend

We were in town for a UNE COM graduation and could not have had a better place to stay. Everything we had planned was within walking distance. The place is so nice, clean, comfortable and having an outdoor deck was the best. Kathy was perfect at communicating from the start. The west end of Portland is fabulous. We will be back!

Cute property in a great location

We came to Portland to visit our daughter and had a delightful stay. The apartment is exactly as pictured and was very clean and cute. The linens were luxurious and the beds were very comfortable. If you or someone in your group has mobility issues, the stairs going up to the unit were quite steep. We had two seniors in our group that required some help getting up and down. The location of this property is very convenient to the waterfront, and we were always able to find a close parking spot on the street nearby. We would not hesitate to stay here again on a future trip.

Great Place for a Girl's Trip!

We loved Kathy's place! The location was perfect and within walking distance to almost everything that we had planned. We took an Uber to Portland's Head Light located in Cape Elizabeth because it was too far to walk, but we explored the rest of our trip on foot. Her place had everything we needed to include unexpected snacks and lots of coffee! There is a small convenience store very close to the rental where we bought wine, champagne, creamer, eggs, bacon, etc. for easy an easy breakfast but there are plenty of food places within walking distance if you want to eat out every meal. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The outside seating area was perfect for hanging out while sipping champagne with friends. The inside stairs are a little narrow, but manageable if you go slow. I will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Townsend

Host profile image
I’m passionate about creating beautiful, comfortable spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home. Thoughtful design, quality details, and a welcoming atmosphere matter to me, and I take pride in making sure every stay is seamless, memorable, and well cared for. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer visit, my goal is for you to enjoy a top-notch experience from the moment you arrive until the day you leave—and to feel excited to come back again.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures everything I love about Portland—walkability, culture, great food, and a true sense of place. Being steps from the Old Port, the waterfront, art museums, and live music means guests can experience the city effortlessly, without needing a car. It’s vibrant yet comfortable, historic yet lively, and offers the best of Portland right outside the door. For me, it’s the ideal home base for exploring, relaxing, and feeling connected to the city.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the combination of an unbeatable, walk-everywhere location and a private retreat you won’t find in most downtown stays. Set in a historic building yet fully renovated, the space offers modern comfort, thoughtful design, and a rare private deck —perfect for relaxing above it all. Inside, the layout is spacious, quiet, and intentionally designed to feel both stylish and comfortable, giving guests a true home base in the heart of Portland rather than just a place to sleep.
