My wife and I were in town for a wedding and this was a great place to stay. It’s a quick walk to the downtown area and had great coffee shops/cafes within the immediate area. Great place for a long weekend.

We picked this spot due to its location to be able to go north or south in Maine. It was clean, tidy, and in a quiet neighborhood. The only downside was trying to find parking, otherwise we had a wonderful stay! The host was easy to work with.

We enjoyed our stay in the West End area of Portland. Jeff, the owner, was very easy to get in touch with. He allowed us to check in early since no one was there the day before. I loved the location! Very easy to walk to Ruskies, a tavern, several coffee shops and two corner markets ( Fresh Approach made wonderful sandwiches). We also walked to the Portland Art Museum. I met several of the neighbors who were a delight to chat with. The only hard part for us seniors (70+). was the stairs. My husband was to have knee replacement surgery on our return home. The apartment was on the second floor and there were also stairs from the main floor to the bedrooms. But we managed. I wouldn’t let the stairs hold you back if you are an able bodied person. It was so much fun to explore the area!

We stayed at the apartment for two weeks. It totally matched its description. It was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The host was responsive, even though we didn’t need him much. The kitchen was well stocked even though we never cooked while we were there because Portland has such an awesome food scene going on. The apartment location was perfect for our needs. It was fast to and from the highway yet in a quiet neighborhood. The only drawback is that there's no designated parking at the property. Street parking was difficult to find the night we arrived and our rental car was vandalized that first night - of course this had nothing to do with our host but it's something to keep in mind.

My mom and I thought overall it was a very nice place. It was cute and had a lot of charm! We were able to get Uber/Lyft rides to downtown, old port and art museum for cheap less then $10! I found Jeff easy to communicate with and was super accommodating to allow us to drop off our bags since we arrived hours before the 4:00 pm check in time. This is a five star, but to make it exceed expectations I have the following suggestions: Kitchen: - There was very limited silverware, bowls, utensils, cutting knives and no pizza cutter - Toaster - it seemed strange that there wasn’t one Bathroom: - Kleenexes would have been nice Outlets: There seemed to be an issue where the actual plug was just a little too large for any cord so gravity would cause it to fall out easily. I found this in the bedroom and living room so not sure what causes this maybe just being old.

Straight forward, comfortable and clean! Easy 20 min walk to the Old Port, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Parking is a little sporty, but if you've dealt with New England-style city parking before you won't have any trouble!

Our visit to Portland was incredible. The apartment's location was perfectly situated in the West End, making it easy to walk all over the city. The apartment was clean, and spacious, and provided all the listed amenities. Communication with the host was easy and friendly, he was responsive to any questions we had before and during the stay. We will definitely be back soon!

I live locally and wanted to introduce my out of town friends to Portland. I choose to is property due to its close proximity to the Old Port and buzz of the city. Neighbors was quiet and house was comfortable. Host offered flexibility for check in and process was seamless. The only thing that was a bit inconvenient was finding parking, as there isn’t a designated spot. Overall, great experience.

Two friends and I stayed here for three nights as we were attending a Death Cab for Cutie/Postal Service concert in town. The size was perfect and the location is within walking distance of almost anything in town.

The place was clean and fairly well equipped. The beds were very hard as were the den sofa and chair making it hard to get good rest or relaxation. A bed side table would've been nice - instead there was a huge mirror. The closets could use lights, and the kitchen needs sharper knives and a paring knife. The kitchen doesn't have much empty counter space, so it's a challenge to prepare meals. Overall, we liked the area but wouldn't stay again due to uncomfortable furniture. If you like hard beds and seats, this place would be great for you.

What a cute place! It had everything that my husband and I needed for our getaway. Perfect walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. Pots, pans and dishes were available for the nights we wanted to cook there. Communication with the owner was quick and the check in process was seamless. We had no issues parking on the street, but we were made aware to pay attention to the signs posted. We appreciate that advance notice!

This was a very clean unit. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to eat in. The host was readily available when we had questions, and friendly. Also the home had lots of comfortable room. It was close enough to town to walk to, but just far enough away to be really quiet. This was our first time in Portland, and we would stay in Jeff's house again. Thank you!

First of all, we were so well taken care of by Jeff....We had some scheduling challenges on the day of arrival and he was most gracious. This is a lovely space with unique, charming bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen. The entry process was smooth. Street parking was generally easy (unless we came back late at night) and PLEASE WATCH the signs because apparently I can't count the number of Tuesdays in a month!! I was begrudgingly happy to support the fine city of Portland, ME. The location is about a 15-20 minute walk to the downtown area (or a 7 minute drive). Overall, this was a GREAT stay.

Great location - walkable to most places of interest and is in a safe neighborhood - lots of folks out walking all the time and kids playing. It's an older area of town. The property is in a large, old duplex that has been turned into multiple apartments. It's cute inside the unit, met all of our needs and was as described. We arrived during a heat wave, but the window units worked just fine to keep us cool. A heads up on a couple of things - apt entry is on 2nd floor and is two stories once inside (i.e. lots of stairs - so be prepared if anyone has mobility issues in your party), there were no washcloths (only relevant to ppl who still use them) and a couple of normal things needed attention. I've alerted the owner who has been responsive about things throughout the process. We'd stay again.

This unit is one of the best we've stayed in. The pictures really don't do it justice. Check in/out prices is a piece of cake. It's really unfortunate just how bad the parking situation was. If you get back after 8pm you'll be walking quite a ways, but to be clear, Portland is a walking city anyways so just be ready!

It was such a lovely and comfortable place. Just charming and so walkable to everywhere we wanted to go; which was amazing and made us us feel part of the community. We felt right at home from the minute we walked in the door …..and the beds were so cozy. Enjoyed having tv to watch the basketball game ☺️

This place met all our comfort needs. It also positioned us perfectly so we could walk Portland and see everything we wanted to see. The place was clean & the beds were comfortable. Having to go downstairs to reach the bathroom was not an issue. The place in on a beautiful street and restaurants and shopping are blocks away. We are looking forward to another stay at this place mid September to mid October.

Charming & Convenient

Charming & Convenient

Dad & Daughter run away took us to Portland this year. Knew we wanted to stay in the West End, and Spring Street looked like a great spot. First, the owner, Jeff, was responsive, accomodating, and very efficient. The apartment is one of several units in an older house,( as are many properties in the West End). The photos on the VRBO site are extremely accurate and true. There is a charm about this property that cannot be found in newer accomodations. The unit was sparkling clean and well equipped, including kitchen items should one desire to cook in. The bedrooms are spacious and bright. The bathroom being on the first level away from the bedrooms may be an issue if one is up often during the night, but Jeff is very upfront about that. The location was perfect for us; easy walk to coffee houses, restaurants, and neighborhood markets. A nice 20-25 minute walk to Old Port or the Terminal and most of the downtown restaurants & shopping. If/when travels take us back to Portland, we will check availability here befire anywhere else.

Thanksgiving Get Away

Thanksgiving Get Away

This was a great place to stay to spend Thanksgiving and do a bit of Christmas shopping. Close to Freeport Outlets, Portland shopping district, and on the way home stops in Ogunquit and Kittery finish the Christmas shopping trip north. The place itself was comfortable and spacious enough for the 3 of us. The kitchen was small but I still managed to make a Thanksgiving dinner. Only a couple of quirking things - 1. kitchen faucet handle came off in my hand, hopefully, it will be fixed for the next visitor 2. the shower faucet the hot is cold and the cold is hot 3. no washcloths We had a great time and enjoyed our stay!

Lovely Place in West End

Lovely Place in West End

Very clean, spacious, and well-appointed unit. Plenty of space to relax in but also in an excellent area of town, the West End. Short walk to restaurants, markets, and even a playground. Also just a brief trek to the Old Port area. Having the bedrooms on the second level provides a lot of space and plenty of storage if needed. Kitchen was well-stocked as well. Looking forward to staying here again when visiting family.

Perfect for weekend getaway

Perfect for weekend getaway

My wife and I recently stayed here for a weekend trip to Portland. Cannot say enough great things about Portland. Amazing beer/food scene here. The property suited us well. Quick walks/cheap rides to all the hotspots. Very clean place. Easy access in and out. It’s a shared building space so you have neighbors. Only annoying thing was the bathroom being on a separate floor as the bedrooms. Other than that, couldn’t have been happier with our selection.
