Perfect family visit - wonderful historic property
This was the perfect spot for a family visit for a long weekend. Three generations - ourselves, our son and his wife and toddler daughter - came to visit our daughter and son-in-law who live just two blocks away. The apartment is spacious, clean, well stocked, and very child-friendly right down to the mini rocking chair and small nook filled with toys, games, oversized stuffed animals and dollhouse. Communication with the owner was easy; we had no issues but if we had, the owner lives downstairs. We feel lucky to have found this, and hope to stay there again when we are all able to get back to Portland together. Highly recommend it.

Perfect in Portland
Our stay in this beautiful apartment space was as close to perfect as one can get with a family on vacation. Location was not only in a quiet and quaint section of Portland but was central and convenient to all areas of the city. The space had all the amenities of a home and the comfort. The entire apartment was clean, very clean. When we return we intend to seek this space again, could not recommend it enough.

Excellent stay!
Fantastic property and thoughtful amenities. The property exceeded both the listing and our expectations. Hosts were communicative and welcoming. Location is fantastic, close enough to all the attractions of Portland while still being quiet. The kids nook was an outstanding feature and much appreciated by my 3 and 5 year olds. Will definitely seek to stay again if our travels bring us back to Portland.

Beautiful Getaway in Maine
This property sits on the outskirts of Portland and it was lovely. Yes, the stairs are a young mans game, but they weren't too bad as we were out and about for a majority of our trip. Rooms were well equipped with plenty of fans, blankets, etc. Communication with the owner was simple and breezy. He was always available when needed. Place was 25-30 minutes walking distance from anything you would need. Loved the stay, loved the city. Great overall experience.

Great location - central to town, lighthouses, ferry and points north
Well equipped 3BR/1Ba accommodations, with large kitchen/dining/sitting gathering room. We had no children in our group, but the special kids nook (with books, games, stuffed animals, and kid-sized chairs) would be great for families traveling with small ones. Kitchen has plenty of dishes and pots/pans if you want to stay in and cook instead of dining out, plus Keurig coffee maker for early risers. But also, get out and walk the neighborhood, several coffee shops nearby, and get your exercise walking down to the Old Port or to take the ferry (best lobster roll at the Island Lobster Co on Peaks Island). Overall trip was a great success, and our lodgings made things easy to come home and rest between outings.

Awesome location, great for families
House located in convenient West End neighborhood. Has a cute “kids nook” with books, dollhouse, stuffed animals and games. It’s on the 3rd floor so there’s lots of steps. Property very clean. Owners super friendly and quick to respond. Outside has basketball goal, pickle ball net and lots of seating. Would definitely stay here again.

Property that needs updates in a great location
Overall the stay went well and no major issues with anything. Location was fabulous and the parking was very nice. Biggest issues were that the cleanliness was lacking (floors weren’t clean, found a few pieces of silverware that were put away with food specs still on them) and the common area was generally not very usable or comfortable. There were only a couple soft chairs to sit on, and one of them was a massage chair that didn’t have a way to get the massager out of the way, so if you weren’t using the massager the mechanism just stuck out of the chair and made it very uncomfortable. Wish that had been better.

I have to say, it was even better than expected. The space was comfortable, clean, and easy to access. There were plenty of fans provided to help with some of the mid-day heat, and the additional patio premise was a nice addition. Jim was very communicative and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Would happily stay here again anytime.

Everything we needed and more
Jim's place was everything we were looking for and more as a home base for our family near Maine Med. We were anticipating a NICU stay, which happened, and Jim was so helpful and accommodating of our special circumstances. Our daughters (ages 6 and 2) were delighted with the play nook, which was stocked with books, games and toys, providing hours of entertainment during our stay. The apartment has it's own washer and dryer, which was a must for us with a longer stay, plus it had off street parking, which is a major bonus in Portland. We were extremely comfortable and cared for here for the duration of our 2 week stay, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Great Space
We had four girls stay here for a 50th birthday. It was a great location 1.3 mile walk from downtown (Old Port) in a beautiful safe neighborhood. The apartment was on the third floor of the home and was much bigger than it looked in listing. We had everything we needed for a nice stay. Only small hiccup was that there was only a Keurig (not a regular coffee pot). We had brought ground coffee- but there was a few complimentary Keurig cups that got us through until our friend showed up with a coffee pot! I would definitely stay here again!

Very Convenient!
Cute apartment in the top of a three story older house (lots of stairs - important to keep in mind if you have heavy luggage). Fully equipped kitchen, good wifi, great shower. Super easy to walk to everything you could possibly need. We ended up walking all over town. I’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent Location in Portland
We stayed at this apartment for three nights during a trip with friends. It’s spacious and has lots of extra stuff in the space to make it more comfortable - like plastic wrap, tissues, cooking spray, scissors, and ample pots and pans, which we used for breakfast. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and feels very safe. Lots of private parking. The stairs to the third floor are no joke, but that was clear in the information, so we expected it. Jim was very responsive and helpful. He even offered to help us when a friend was trying to make arrangements to fly home for a family emergency. We had a great visit, and would definitely stay again.

My friends and I stayed for three nights in this lovely home. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Although the owners lived down stairs, it felt as if we were the only ones there. Would stay again if we went back to visit. Great walking distance to many locations in downtown.
