About this property
Spacious Historic 1st Floor Apartment
This is a charming art deco home built in 1915. The property has been recently renovated. There are many quirks of an old New England home as well as modern upgrades like stainless steel appliances and laundry in the new bathroom.
It is a spacious 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom first floor apartment completely renovated with a historic feel of a New England home but with a lot of modern upgrades. There is one queen size bed in the master bedroom, two twin beds the second bedroom, queen size pull-out sofa in the living room, a very comfortable queen size futon in the sunroom and we also have a queen size air mattress available. The sunroom can be used as a sitting room or breakfast nook as well as a private bedroom. A full size dinning room to host family get together. Old red birch and fir flooring throughout.
Access is to the entire apartment with private entrance - you will have full access to the kitchen and bathroom never needing to share it with anyone else. Please don't access any other part of the house (second floor, basement, attic space). Access to private driveway for off-street parking for up to 3 vehicles.
Contact with us is mostly through email, text and phone, in person only occasionally if you run into any issues.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Nicely equipped, comfortable, warm and stylish vibe. Would stay again for sure. And location was excellent… we were in and out many times between visiting many places across Portland.
The apartment was absolutely lovely. Great location, close to downtown, comfortable and plenty of space. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend and stay again!
Our family -- 2 teenagers and 2 adults -- stayed here for the weekend. It was a very nice apartment with plenty of space and a lovely sunroom in back. It was a bit farther out of the old town than we would have liked; but good breakfast places around and overall a great stay.
Loved our stay! The unit was spacious and well equipped. We were able to easily get to all hikes we were interested in 30 mins or less. Easy checkin. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay so much! We didnt want to leave portland! The host provided everything we needed! Short uber or car ride to downtown and in a safe neighborhood! Highly suggest staying here!
Quiet, clean, and comfortable accommodation, perfect for a family with 3 kids. The host was very responsive and made us feel welcome. The neighborhood is in a great location just a few minutes from all the important attractions. There are also great food options within walking distance.
This property is exactly as listed. Loved it. Clean, well appointed, and easy access to the highway and Old Port. I would definitely stay here again. Host is very responsive.
Me and my friends flew in to surprise my bestfriend after her engagement and we LOVED our stay. The owners were highly communicative and even let us check in early so we didn’t have to lug our luggage around the city until 4pm !
This place was amazing, it was just outside the hustle and bustle of Portland, close even to get in the city butt far enough away to relax. It was absolutely spotless and everything was in working order. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Plenty of places to eat near by. Had plenty of room inside with wonderful bedrooms and a great bathroom.
The house was very nice.....spacious kitchen, dining room, living room, and sun room. 2 bedrooms and 1 bath are comfortable. House is clean and well equipped. Location is great....close to everything, but in a quiet, pretty neighborhood. Highly recommend!
Great close location to down town area. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. The beds were not the most comfy but it was a place to rest our head. The air conditioning was a wonderful bonus for each room. Appreciated the beautiful kitchen and coffee makers! Overall great place and we had a lovely stay!
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. The house is bigger than expected. Super clean and well supplied. The location is great. Easy to get everywhere. Helena was super responsive to our questions. The sun room and coffee were an added bonus.
This property is clean and very quaint. It is very well kept with all amenities that any group could need. The host was efficient, communicative and available for any of our needs. Location is a short distance to all that Portland has to offer and the house has a library for review of the many things to see and do.
If you don’t need to be on the water or downtown to expense this is the place to check out. Highly recommend this property
