This property was top notch!! It's decor is super cool! The apartment is roomy and very clean. Location is perfect, right in the Old Port! Working with the property owner was a piece of cake and she checked in on us to see if we were all set. Would love to stay there again!

Doug, thanks so much for your excellent review and I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay. I’m thrilled you were wowed by our amazing apartment; It’s such a great space for a group. We’d love to have you visit with us again when you return to Portland.
Stunning condo in the heart of downtown Portland. Beautifully designed with high ceilings and tons of natural light. Perfect for our family vacation. Hosts were amazing. We will be back!
The location could not be more perfect. We parked the car and walked everywhere! This apartment is beautiful and filled with upgrades. The exposed brick is an added bonus and the bathrooms are luxurious. I wish we could have stayed longer.
I have stayed in many VRBO properties and this apartment is as nice as any I have stayed in. The pictures do not do the place justice. It is newly remodeled - the bathrooms are fantastic. It is the type of city loft you would like to live in. The place is very comfortable the skylights on the top floor let in lots of light. Easy walk to the restaurants and other attractions along the waterfront.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience and I’m thrilled you enjoyed your stay!! I appreciate your thoughtful description of our apartment and surrounding area; I couldn’t agree more.! Thanks again and please visit with us at any of our properties.
We loved our stay! Family of 6 visiting for a week and we have no complaints about this property. Communication was fantastic with property owners and they answered any questions we had immediately. The condo was newly renovated. Bathrooms and kitchen were spacious and so well done. Biggest showers ever! Very very clean. Could not have been better. Walkable to all the restaurants and shops around Portland. Walkable to the water and ferry port as well. 5 stars!

Rented this beautiful apartment for a girls weekend. Street parking was available to unload in front of the door. Then parked the car in a public garage for the weekend. We walked everywhere. Comfortable beds with 2 down blankets per bed. We made dinner one night in the state of the art kitchen. Dena was the best. I asked alot of questions and she was very quick to respond. Highly recommend.and she

Debbie ~ Thanks so much for your excellent review! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay! Please visit again when you’re in town. ~Dena
great design. well executed. Very clean. Things to know: the mattresses are all firm. If you like a pillow top, bring one. The artwork has been changed out for color photos of western parks, etc. not a problem , but it does alter the aesthetic. Hot water in the master shower is a bit tricky to get the hang of, but works.
I rented this property for a bachelorette/birthday party, and we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect place to stay. The place was absolutely gorgeous, modern, and clean.
There was plenty of space for all 8 of us to hang out in the living room. The kitchen was fully stocked, and all of the bedrooms were very clean and comfortable.
The primary room was very spacious and the bathtub was a huge plus.
You can see the ocean from the back windows, and a ton of restaurants and shops are within walking distance. We didn't have to drive anywhere all weekend. Perfect location if you want to go enjoy the amazing bars and breweries in Portland without worrying about getting a ride home.

Wow, thank you so much for your glowing review!! We are passionate about our properties and delivering exceptional guest experiences and we’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay in our new apartment! Please visit with us again when you’re in town.
This place truly MADE our vacation relaxing and is one of the gems in Portland. What a beautiful apartment to look forward to relaxing in every evening with ease. Movie night and games every night after days of fun and exercise out exploring. This place is full of character and charm. Highly recommend this location-walkable to the port and surrounding areas (so much shopping and food) Have I mentioned this place is such a vibe!!? The host is so accommodating and immediately available for any questions. I texted her and she was lightning with a response and friendly! They literally have everything a traveler could want. Parking available within a block-24/day. We’re glad it’s the end of the trip as it would make other apartments pale in comparison. Twenty minute drive to nearby lighthouses. We suggest reading through the handmade binder to find the host families tips and favorite treats/eats. We tried many and so happy we did. Also, take the Casco Bay Lines mail boat for a cruise-such a fun way to see Maine from the water. We took the 10am ferry and loved every minute. Thanks to Dena and family!
