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, cozy location for Portland stay

68 Hampshire is the perfect central location to all that Portland has to offer, walkable to myriad shops, restaurants, the water, and more. A full kitchen, big rooms and dining area, it’s great for a weekend stay to a week or more.

Nicely appointed apartment in a good location

A fun place to stay. The building is over 100 years old and has that vintage vibe, but everything worked fine (note that the window air conditioner was sitting in the closet but during our stay wasn't needed). Close to several restaurants as well as the waterfront park.

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!

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!!

Sweet, spacious, and close to everything

This apartment was the perfect Portland getaway for our family of two couples and an infant. We had plenty of room for spreading out and the additional loft space was nice for extra privacy. Our daughter loved the furnishings--warm and eclectic, but not overdone. The large dining table was great for meals and for laptop/workspace. We walked to the Eastern Promenade, the breweries, the theatre, the art museum, Old Port...just about every place we wanted to go to in downtown Portland, and the food co-op right across the street was a nice bonus. Add to this the very accommodating owners, and our stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to return.
