About this property

Downtown Escape ❤️ Deck, Fireplace, 95 WalkScore

Nestled in the heart of downtown Portsmouth near shops, restaurants and nightlife, this immaculate 3rd floor loft apartment with a private outdoor deck and amazing morning sunlight will be your perfect place to make home when you're not exploring historic Portsmouth.

<1 min walk from Market Square
<5 min walk from Prescott Park

<7 min drive to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
<9 min drive to Portsmouth Regional Hospital
<12 min drive to Portsmouth International Airport/Pease Air National Guard Base

Our home is a well equipped 1 bedroom apartment with high ceilings and large windows that provide for a bright and refreshing feel. The space includes a private loft for 2 extra guests and 2 full bathrooms.

Our three favorite aspects of the home are the private deck with amazing views, window view from the loft and the gas fireplace in the master bedroom.

We are extremely close to the local beautiful beaches and parks and our home provides easy access to the entire Maine/New Hampshire Seacoast which makes this spot perfect for small groups, families and couples.

Our entire condo is available for you and you will not be sharing the space with anyone else.

Our home is in the heart of downtown Portsmouth, near market square. City noise from the street and nightlife should be expected especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

In the Heart of Everything!

My cousin and I enjoyed a girls' weekend in Portsmouth. The property was within a mile of all the spots we wanted to check out, and the condo was appointed with nice furniture and art, upscale appliances, and some extra treats! The owner was friendly, helpful, and communicative, and he went out of his way to offer tips and suggestions for our stay!

The perfect spot in Portsmouth!

Hi. My wife and I and our adult son stayed here for a few days of exploring the Portsmouth area. What a perfect spot! The unit was exactly as advertised and in an excellent location downtown. Walkable to all shops and restaurants. We had one minor issue with one of the toilets and the host response was quick and the matter resolved. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it!

Good condo and a good location

Nice condo in a good location. Very much central walking distance to all shops and restaurants in downtown Portsmouth. Lots of stairs, so it could be a little tricky with luggage and also the spiral staircase going up to the bedroom on the second floor. There is a bar down below that plays live music and it can get pretty lively until kind of late but other than that it is a great place to stay

Great location, iffy parking for long stay

Location was fabulous—very walkable to shops, restaurants and bars. The property was as described in the listing but it’s important to know there is no free on-site parking. And while the free public lot is quite convenient there is a max stay of 72 hours. For a long stay (ours was five nights) it becomes iffy since that free lot was full or maybe one/two spots open anytime we’d go by. Had to make sure to move the car around after certain amounts of time. At the property some of the bathroom finishes needed work: both toilet seat covers were old and the plastic was peeling off. The toilet paper holder in one is installed upside down so the roll would fall off to the floor each time. Kitchen was missing some items I’d expect, like tongs and cheese grater so had to improvise the night we cooked at home. Was also missing wipes or a counter cleaner for cleaning up after cooking so just went with paper towels and water. Would rebook for a short stay but not for a longer stay with the parking issue.

A perfect stay

I was in town for 5 days for my brother’s wedding. After traveling all day I arrived in Portsmouth at 9:30pm, tired and hungry. I parked right in front of the apt, stashed my bags, walked next door to The Pressroom for a quick dinner, slept soundly on the comfortable bed, then rolled downstairs for delicious espresso and pastry the next morning at Kaffee Vonsolln. This would epitomize my stay-convenience and comfort. All of Portsmouth proper is at your fingertips There is some noise at night from the businesses nearby, but I found it appealing rather than intrusive. I had concerns about parking, but this was a non issue. I parked in the free lot on Parrot Ave for much of my stay (72 hr limit) and street parking is free overnight. Darryl is a terrific host…attentive, accessible and helpful. Thank you Darryl. ;) I honestly cannot wait to return.

Lovely Stay

Our stay in the Downtown Escape was perfect! After a 7-hour drive, we were delighted to see how clean, cozy, and well equipped our accommodations were. The location was perfect, upstairs from a fantastic coffee shop and within walking distance of all the sights and sounds Downtown Portsmouth has to offer. I am so glad we chose to stay here.

Perfect Getaway in Portsmouth

This home was perfect. It met all our needs and it's located in the center of Portsmouth with immediate access to restaurants and shops. It's also located just a short 5-minutes’ walk to Portsmouth Harbor Cruises, if you'd like to take a nice sunset cruise around the harbor. The host kept in touch via email and made sure we knew how to contact him if we needed anything. We didn't! I highly recommend you stay at this hidden Portsmouth gem.

Perfect Stay!

I enjoyed a weekend away here with a few girlfriends and we were beyond impressed with this property! We immediately noticed how clean it was upon check-in. It looks even better than the pictures and the location is walkable to numerous shops and restaurants. An added bonus was enjoying coffee at the cafe that was right below us. I can’t say enough good things about our weekend here and I would absolutely stay here again!

Mini vacation

My husband and I needed a little getaway and this spot was perfect. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and because it was in the downtown location made it convenient so we didn’t need to drive anywhere. The owner checked in with us to make sure everything was perfect. Being that it is winter time it wasn’t busy which is what we were looking for. It’s a place we would definitely like to return to.
