Adorable Portland getaway on the Eastern Promenade

Simple, clean, cozy. No frills but affordable. Communication with property manager was great and getting in and out was a breeze. Be mindful there are multiple flights of stairs to access this apartment, the last one being rather narrow and steep. There's really great light in the apartment due to a couple skylights, sliding glass doors, etc. The bedroom light in the morning was bright and beautiful which i loved though there were curtains and blinds if you like to sleep in. Reminder there is NO cooktop/stove/single plug in burner/etc. Theres a tiny toaster oven and microwave so you're cooking options are limited (but plenty of restaurants!). But there's a full sized fridge which was perfect for beer purchases at all the local breweries. Within walking distance to downtown for us, about a 1 to 1.5 miles depending on where youre going, but for some this would be too far especially in winter. Expectations for cleaning up before we left were very reasonable items like doing the dishes and taking the trash out. Parking was a non issue, plenty of street parking in front of building. Easy.

Cozy apartment. Was clean and comfortable Great view of Portland Harbor. Stairs are quite steep which makes trying to bring up luggage a bit of a challenge. Parking is on the street.

Convenient location to Old Port pretty easy walk. Comfortable space for a couple nights. Stairs are no joke. Parking easy. Grab a light bag for the stairs.

This was such a cute space to stay! My partner and I enjoyed our stay. Close to many great places in Portland. Plenty of street parking. Host was very communicative and left great instructions for our stay. Very easy!

Tidy place in a great location!

Welcoming small apartment in a beautiful Portland neighborhood. Clean and stocked with everything we needed. Very helpful hosts.

So clean! Loved all the little notes, very helpful. Such a great location close to the water and would definitely recommend this place in the future.

What a nice, clean apartment in a great location in Portland. We would definitely stay again if we're in the area in the future. Thank you for your hospitality!

The property was very nice and clean. Didn’t have any issues while there. Looking forward to another stay here next time I come to Portland.

Unit was very clean

We stayed in Town for one night. The place was as advertised…..with no adverse surprises. We enjoyed the clean space and would stay again.

Perfect little apartment, perfect for a five day stay with my husband. The balcony was a lovely addition and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Overall I’d recommend to anyone looking for a quiet location within walking distance to the downtown area and only a block or two from the eastern promenade.

I booked this apartment for a few days while my kid was at camp. I wanted something relaxing and quiet, but not too far from things. The apartment could not have been cuter! It was spotless! And the natural light was amazing! The host had thought of everything and it felt more like staying at a friend’s place! I was able to walk to breweries, coffee shops, and amazing restaurants! The next time I’m in Portland, I hope it’s available again!

Lovely, clean property, great hosts, fantastic neighborhood.

It was very comfortable! The stairs up to the 3rd floor are quite steep…a little difficult with luggage.

Our overnight stay was lovely. Guests should be aware of very steep stair configuration to enter unit.

This place is super cute, a little hard to walk up the stairs as it is a 3rd floor apartment and the stairs are steep. Other than that fansatic

The house is very cute with an amazing little porch, and the location was great. Walking distance to anything you need. Only wish we had planned to stay longer in Portland. The last batch of stairs are very steep as mentioned in the description with no landing at the top but ultimately it is a small issue for an otherwise wonderful stay.

Great location east end but steps to attic are very steep . Hard to lug suitcases up there Cats in and out of building No stoveHost

Overall, this place will be on our list of places to stay when we make a return trip. My advice is, if you are pushing 6 foot in height, watch your head. The unit is the 3rd floor unit so the ceilings are slanted more the closer you get to the walls. I've bumped my head a few times. It's a great place to stay.

Very comfortable place. Liked the balcony and view. The stairs were accurately described but one must be capable of going of steep stairs to third floor and carrying luggage up. Would stay again

I don’t really want to complain because the host were so wonderful. But when we arrived at the place, it was not on the second floor, but on the third floor of a house. The stairs going up three flights were very narrow and very steep. When we got into the place, it was so hot even though there was a little air conditioner in the bedroom no air reached the living room where one of us would’ve been staying. We called the host and they were so gracious to allow us to leave with a promise that they would reimburse us. They did acknowledge that this was the hottest time of the year and that they understood if we were not able to stay there. They did ask that we notify you so that you can begin the process of reimbursing us. Thank you very much.

Welcoming small apartment in a beautiful Portland neighborhood. Clean and stocked with everything we needed. Very helpful hosts.

Not only is this unit adorable and comfortable, Jennifer and her crew went above and beyond with hospitality and grace. The location was fabulous with easy walking access to downtown, Congress street and the waterfront walking/biking path.

We loved our stay here as we had a friends wedding for the weekend. Apartment was clean and had an awesome view out on the balcony. Jennifer was very communicative and helpful with how to get in the house and the apartment itself on the third floor. The apartment is walkable to many coffee shops and breweries near by so it’s very advantageous for a weekend stay. Will definitely be returning to this apartment for another weekend stay! Jared

This place made for a perfect last night of our Maine trip! The location is great, the space looks even bigger than the pictures make it look, and it has everything you need for a nice stay. Jennifer was very communicative, her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she made us feel very welcome. The stairs as mentioned are steep, but wasn’t an issue at all. This spot is about a half hour walk from downtown and the waterfront, and fairly easy to traverse. There are also a number of great spots closer to the apartment. Our tip is to stop at The End for a great cocktail halfway home! Other Portland recs: Miyake, Maps, Bayside American Cafe, Holy Donut and Norimoto Thanks again for a great stay, we will definitely stay here again!

We were checked into the wrong unit and asked to move for our second night (not relaxing). There was construction happening in the building...windows being replaced, etc. so we were subject to drilling, hammering and electric saw noises throughout our stay. Our first morning we were awakened by the constant beeping of the workers' van backing into the driveway at 7:15 am. We were promised a full refund and are now being ghosted by the owner and her assistant. We definitely do not recommend this property.

Lovely, clean property, great hosts, fantastic neighborhood.

Where to start? The hosts were incredibly thoughtful—the amenities and little details made us feel so welcome. They also shared great local recommendations that helped us make the most of our trip!Walkability was a game-changer!We only drove twice (hello, Cryptozoology Museum!), but otherwise, we walked everywhere—restaurants, breweries, shops—you name it. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and immersive.Food & Drink Highlights:Eventide – lobster roll, clam chowder, littlenecks, musselsFranciska's – Portuguese-style sardines, crab, golden beets, and fresh sourdoughDuckFat Shack @ Oxbow Brewing – poutine with duck egg, blueberry shake, and great beerFalafel Mafia @ Eastern Promenade – quick, flavorful bitesSissle & Daughters – amazing deli meats, cheeses, hummus, and fresh bread (their sandwiches looked unreal!)Double Great Coffee – excellent scone, breakfast sandwich & coffeeBayside American Cafe – smoked salmon eggs benedict life changingFavorite Breweries: Belleflower & AllagashWe felt incredibly safe walking around—even at night—and that made a huge impression. We truly can't wait to come back!

These hosts are so gracious and helpful! It was a nice spot to land for a few nights in Portland. It is as advertised, as far as the very steep stairs and quaint size, which was absolutely fine for us. The only issue we had was with the air conditioning only cooling down the bedroom. The rest of the space was very hot. We were thankful we slept in the cool, at least, but couldn’t enjoy a movie (only tv is in the living room) or just hang out anywhere but the bedroom. We weren’t in the space a ton, so it wasn’t a deal breaker for us, but may be for some. We plan another night there at the end of our stay, so clearly, we do enjoy this cute, well-appointed, little loft. Thanks Jennifer! You were lovely to deal with for our stay.

Our stay was the easiest I’ve had in a while. Jennifer had everything organized and easily accessible. She had sweet touches like bathrobes, tea, and chocolates. I highly recommend anyone stay here!

Tidy place in a great location!

Cute spot that was a 5 minute drive to downtown and across the street from a great view.

So clean! Loved all the little notes, very helpful. Such a great location close to the water and would definitely recommend this place in the future.

Just as advertised. A short walk to the water and a long walk to the busy part of Portland.

We loved our stay here as we had a friends wedding for the weekend. Apartment was clean and had an awesome view out on the balcony.

The place was perfect. It was right in the middle of everything and a perfe spot for a getaway

We arrived for a short trip and picked the location for the walkability of the area. 25 minute walk to the Casco Bay Ferry Lines. This gave us a fun afternoon to travel to Peaks Island to explore. We got to eat dinner at The Olive a tasty Lebanese restaurant on the way back to our place. Close to walking paths with great views. Be ready to climb to the third story in this walk up space. Well worth the climb!

Convenient location to Old Port pretty easy walk. Comfortable space for a couple nights. Stairs are no joke. Parking easy. Grab a light bag for the stairs.

The apartment felt like home from the moment we arrived. The location was fantastic, everything we wanted to do was about 5 minutes away. The stairs up to the 3rd floor are narrow, but structurally sound. We had a great time and would recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit Portland Maine!

We stayed at this rental for just one night and it was perfect! The location was great for us, an easy uber ride to the old port area. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and parks nearby. We had an amazing brunch at the Front Room, which was an easy walk from the rental. The rental itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We are Mainers but live about an hour from Portland so this was a perfect one night getaway. We’ll def stay again!
