The Sunny Spot was a great place to stay in Portland. We loved being so close to the Harbor. It was clean. The area is safe. If you are into biking there is a nice greenbelt bike/hike path just up the street from the apt. We also appreciated the personalized touches provided by our hosts. Would stay here again.
We love staying in South Portland. So close to Portland without the congestion. Close to everything if you have a car or uber. Apartment was clean and so cute. Bed extremely comfortable. I have read previous reviews about parking. Here is a helpful hint, when parking, try to turn around and back in for ease when leaving. I would also say to bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise due to window air conditioner. Thanks Jennifer for a great time at your accommodation!
Jennifer provided quick responses to any of my questions. Parking was easy, the location was PERFECT. The property was cute as a button. It was full of charm, just the right size and very clean. Fully equipped kitchen, soft towels, bath robes, little treats, lights with outlets to charge my phone....every detail was considered. Thank you!
It was so cute and fresh. The decor was cheery and the rooms had everything we needed!

Super convenient location and a three-minute Uber drive to downtown Portland. The CIA cafe up the street was lovely and it was actually pleasant to be slightly removed from all the activity in town.
My boyfriend and I wanted somewhere that we could easy commute to downtown Portland- and this sunny little spot was perfect! An easy commute and exactly what we needed.
The Location was PERFECT. Quiet yet close enough to everything. The Space was Clean well furnished and comfortable. I hope to be able to use again next year.Thank You Jennifer your place was Great.
What a cute place! The space is bright and there is plenty of natural lighting thanks to the sky lights. The whole space was immaculate, including the floors. After walking barefoot, my feet were still clean. It is located within walking distance to several cute shops and good restaurants. Whenever we wanted to go into Portland, it was a 5 minute Uber ride. I highly recommended this rental, and if I am ever back in the area, I would definitely stay here again. The host, Jennifer, was wonderful and easy to reach if we needed to.
We had a fantastic time at Jennifer’s place! It’s a tucked away spot and we were given perfect instructions to enter. Very beautiful, comfortable, and clean, and had a great dinner in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay! The apartment was super clean, quiet and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable and the extra amenities were appreciated.We walked to dinner (Cafe Louise) and spent the day in the Old Port which was a 5-minute drive from the house. Thanks so much Jennifer!
Perfect place to stay in the Portland area. Not a busy area, lots of places within a very short walking distance. The apartment is a perfect size for two, decorated so cute and cozy. Bed was so comfortable, too. The stairs up are a bit steep but wasn't difficult for us. We didn't use the kitchen but it is fully stocked. We walked to Cia Cafe every morning for the perfect breakfast and coffee.
This property was just as pictured and the decor is phenomenal. Check in was easy, directions were spot on, and communication from the property manager was great. A/Cs worked well. The place was super clean and had all the amenities as if you were staying at home. Area was pretty quiet and had a grocery store and food close by.
Super cute, lovely and cozy place! 5 min from downtown (much closer even than we expected) just over the bridge, easy to find and nice quiet neighborhood. Host was super friendly with clear check-in instructions and welcome message. Would recommend bringing lighter bags because of the steep stairs up to the apartment but absolutely worth it for not having any upstairs neighbors. Parking was great, property well upkept and clean, more than sufficient air conditioning and amenities.
We really enjoyed our stay at Jennifer's apartment during our Maine visit.
It was such a cool spot that was super comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. Perfect for a couple. All of the extra amenities like robes, snacks, and good coffee were an added bonus.
We walked to So Po Seafood for lunch & had an amazing dinner in the Old Port at Scales which was a 5-minute drive.
We will be back!
My daughter and I had a wonderful weekend in South Portland and enjoyed the central location and charming touches of Jennifer’s apartment. The space is lovely, exactly as described in the listing. The communication was clear and detailed. We will definitely return!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
I've moved home after living on the West Coast for 12 years. Currently residing on the beautiful East End, it is such a pleasure to have discovered that over the last decade or so this neighborhood has grown into a wonderfully diverse, safe and welcoming community. Plus, I love being able to walk to brunch and to the market! I desperately missed those outings, living in the car-centered culture of Los Angeles. It's been a wonderful experience meeting and hosting people from all over the world who are visiting Portland!
