A nice stay in Old Port.

We had a great stay at this vrbo in Old Port Portland. It was clean, well decorated, and the hosts had great communication. It had everything we needed and was in a good spot that was walking distance to everything. My only note for guests considering booking this place is that parking for more than one car was a little expensive. The hosts did a good job communicating the parking options. However, if you are bringing more than one car plan to pay 30 a day for garage parking as street parking was not free during the day and had a time limit.Overall, I do recommend this place and had a great stay!

Perfect stay in Portland

Location is great. The apartment faces the Food Co-op parking lot, so it can be a little noisy/busy but it was no issue for us. It was nice to have a grocery so close by. Easy walk for our kids to Old Port, the trails, coffee shops, and all the fun stuff nearby. Off-street parking was perfect. The apartment was clean and in good shape, and is a livable space -- our family was able to watch some TV at night and play poker at the big table. Like the furniture is comfy (it doesn't just look good in pictures : ). Kitchen functioned well for us, though we didn't stay long enough to cook anything unfortunately. The owners were responsive and gave us some suggestions for places to check out (which we did). Overall we'd definitely stay here when we visit Portland again. Thanks!!

Cute place and excellent location to explore Portland!

The place was cute, clean, and had everything we needed for a weekend stay! We loved how easy it was to walk to things (we didn’t even have a car, just took Uber to and from the Portland airport and walked everywhere else). The co-op is almost right outside your door and has everything you could want or need in terms of groceries/prepared foods. Really enjoyed Portland itself, lots of great food to be had, cute areas to walk around, and great views if you can get out on the water. The host was also responsive and helpful which we really appreciated. The only downside is there’s only 1 bathroom, that was a little tough as a group of 8 adults especially when everyone needed to shower and get ready for dinner. Probably not as big of a deal for smaller groups but just be aware!

The location of the property is ideal. A short ride from the airport and within walking distance to fabulous restaurants, shopping, museums, churches, and parks. A very comfortable, clean three-bedroom apartment decorated with charming art and all the comforts of home. Would absolutely recommend. We look forward to returning.

Charming and convenient property

We stayed at this property for a long weekend/girls’ trip and found it very clean and comfortable. It also was very walkable to the old port area and many great restaurants and shops. It also was a quick drive to the airport and convenient to get out of the city for day trips to Kennebunkport, etc. Tyler and Isabella were responsive hosts and checked on us during our stay. It is an urban property so families should consider that there is fairly busy activity outside the home and a noticeable homeless population. But we did not have any problematic interactions.

Great Old Port Pad!

Fun and eclectic, clean and BIG apartment in Old Port. Upon check in we discovered the window AC unit in the loft wasn’t functioning. The hosts were very responsive, and sent someone to fix it immediately. Unfortunately, that fix only lasted a day or so. He offered to send someone back to take another look, but since my son decided he didn’t want to sleep in the loft anyway, it was a non-issue at that point. I appreciated our hosts high level of reachability and responsiveness. We really enjoyed the apartment’s proximity to Eventide, Honeypaw, and many many other fantastic Portland restaurants. We took a day trip to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, which was amazing (find the trolls!), and could return to the city without worrying about a parking spot in the street since we were provide one in the home’s driveway. This really was a plus visiting the city in the summer. A couple minor notes to mention: the large front bedroom did not have its own window AC unit. I do feel that this should have been explicitly disclosed. It would not have been an issue if we were comfortable sleeping with the bedroom door open, but since we were traveling with other people and the door to the front bedroom connects to the living room, it was not ideal. Also, a teeny tiny investment into a full length mirror would make such a big difference! Ultimately we had wonderful few days visiting our favorite city. Thank you to our hosts!

Room to move, location to love

We loved our stay in this spacious apartment with an ideal location for walking to almost everything in downtown Portland. Things we particularly liked: surprisingly quiet for city location, comfortable air conditioning, 3 comfortable bedrooms, extra towels, grocery store and coffee shops moments away. Owners were very responsive. We'd stay here again in a minute. Every VRBO property has tradeoffs and two things to know. It's a second floor unit, so you need to be comfortable climbing a flight of stairs. And apartment has one nice bathroom, but if your group is maxed out on teenagers that could be an issue. Otherwise, great spot!
