About this property

Renovated Old Port 2BR Loft, Waterfront & Shops

Stay in the heart of Portland at this beautifully renovated two-bedroom loft, located in a historic brick building in the iconic Old Port. Blending classic architectural charm with modern finishes, this bright and inviting space is just steps from the waterfront, cobblestone streets, top-rated restaurants, breweries, and local boutiques.

Perfect for couples, friends, or business travelers, the loft offers a comfortable and elevated stay in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city.

What You’ll Love

- Historic character with modern comfort
Exposed brick, tall ceilings, and thoughtfully curated interiors create a warm, stylish space that highlights the building’s history while offering modern-day comfort.

- Two comfortable bedrooms
Each bedroom includes a full-size bed, blackout curtains, and quality linens, designed to help you fully relax after a day exploring Portland.

- Bright and inviting living area
Large windows overlooking the Old Port fill the space with natural light. Unwind in the comfortable seating area or enjoy the Smart TV after a day in the city.

- Fully equipped kitchen
The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and all the essentials for cooking—though you’ll be steps away from some of Portland’s best dining options.

- Prime Old Port location
Step outside into one of Portland’s most vibrant neighborhoods, known for its cobblestone streets, waterfront views, and exceptional food and shopping.
Explore Portland with ease
Walk to the Eastern Promenade, visit the harbor, browse local boutiques, or take a ferry to the Casco Bay Islands—all easily accessible from this central location.

With its blend of historic charm, thoughtful design, and unbeatable location, this Old Port loft is the perfect home base for your Portland stay.

Guest Access: Guests enjoy full, private access to the entire loft with easy self check-in via a secure building code and a separate private unit code. Parking is not included, with paid street parking and nearby garages available — a small tradeoff for being steps from the Old Port’s dining, shopping, and waterfront attractions.

This is the second year we've rented this property. Not only is it "white glove" CLEAN, but you couldn't find a better location in Old Port. You are right in heart of all of the restaurants and shops and across the street from the waterfront. Erika, the host, is phenomenal with communication. She'll help with you restaurant recommendations, good shops to check out, etc. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are super comfortable. Look no further - this is the place and we'll be back next December!!

The apartment was comfortable, clean and well stocked. It was a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights, but that is to be expected in this downtown location. The AC fans blocked the noise. Very convenient location.

My husband and I stayed here with another couple for the weekend and this apartment could NOT have been better. It was spacious, clean, updated, and the most amazing location to walk around Portland. The communication was timely and informative. They even had coffee and k-cups available, which was so nice! Would absolutely look to stay here again.

Great apartment. We had to fuss with the window ACs a bit but got them working. The only annoying thing was the parking. The easy parking was very expensive. We found a reasonable lot though a walk away.

Thank you so much for your review, Judy! We are so happy to host you and feel free to come back anytime. I understand the parking situation can be a bit tough and it's because the apartment is right in the center of Old Port so there isn't much space for parking. However, we have plenty of parking garages nearby that make it accessible. Have an amazing day!

downtown Portland

This apartment was really nicely appointed. Fairly easy to find. Parking is a bit tricky. plan on using the pay parking lot next door. Since this is right downtown, everything is within a short walking distance, but Friday night was a bit loud (for us fair-weather sleepers). Communication with the host was great! All in all, I would recommend this place.

Great Location, Super Clean, Secure

For a friends’ stay in Portland with no car this was an excellent location and literally just a street away from the Old Port area. The unit was on a secured floor, and on upper floor which was great for light, view and quiet. The elevator was an unusual find in this part of town. Pictures were accurate and good perspective on unit; place was “as advertised”. Kitchen was fine for brief stay and very clean, but would be spare for cooking whole meals. Beds were comfortable, as were the linens. Extremely convenient to lots of shops and restaurants, bars.

This is the one to pick!!!

Every holiday, my brother and his wife and I go to visit friends in Portland. This is a perfect two bedroom condo that has all the amenities in terms of a fully stocked kitchen and the most comfortable beds and pillows. It’s very clean and beautifully decorated. The key is also the LOCATION! This place is in the heart of the Old Port so once you park your car, you can walk to some of the nicest shops and best restaurants. Erika, our property manager, answered all of my questions quickly . One recommendation is do not park at the Fore Street garage. Instead go one block over and valet it at the Portland Regency. You can go in and out and it’s $30 a day which is better than $55 a day at the garage.

Great location but noisy….

It was our annual girls’ trip: 4 ladies in early 50s… The pros: —GREAT location, can walk to all attractions, restaurants and cute boutiques/shops. —Excellent communication with host. Instructions were clear and understandable. —Kitchen stocked with more than enough dish ware, silverware, cookware —Building’s laundry room easily accessible—did not have to pay & plenty of machines —2 minute walk to STANDARD BAKERY—we had breakfast pastries from there every day The cons: —Nearby businesses had loud music until 12pm on Friday & Saturday nights. So if you’re a light sleeper—bring earplugs or sleep in the living room—which one of us had to do. It was quiet our first & last nights (Thursday & Sunday). —We had to install one of the window AC units ourselves, and the parts are not measured to fit the window sill properly, so we had to “jerry-rig” it with a hand towel to make it work. —The Fore Street parking garage was expensive at $60/day. My friend parked at the Cumberland County Courthouse parking garage, which is at $30/day & 10 minute walk. We did have to exit & re-enter each day with that garage, even if we spent the entire day in Portland. Nonetheless, this property was still reasonably priced compared to area lodging. Would definitely re-book with earplugs:noise cancelling headphones packed in suitcase.

First off communications with Erika were wonderful. Always answered us in a timely manner. The locaton of the apt is wonderful for walking to restaurants etc and felt very safe. The apartment itself is very clean and everything looks and feels new and the beds very comfortable. Cons were that washer and dryer are not in the unit itself, they are on a separate floor and are pay. While there is a parking lot right across the alley it costs 70 a day and street parking was very limited as we were there during Winter Storm Fern. If you like to read in bed at night bring a book light as there are no bedside lamps and as mentioned in other reviews bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Laurie, thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. I truly appreciate your kind words about the communication, cleanliness, comfort, and location. It means a lot to know you felt safe and well taken care of during your stay. I also really appreciate you sharing helpful feedback for future guests regarding the laundry, parking, and in-unit lighting. With Winter Storm Fern, parking was definitely more challenging than usual, and I understand how that could be frustrating. Your notes are valuable and help set clear expectations. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience. I’d love to host you again in the future!
