A Great Place to Celebrate the Holidays

This apartment on Munjoy Hill was very comfortable for 3 generations to spend the holidays together. It allowed for visits with friends since my mom is not very mobile these days. We got to spend some time enjoying our old neighborhood and all that it offers, including a growing number of restaurants and bars!

With appreciation...

So happy that I did not pass this one up...the home was gorgeous, comfortable, close to the water, and exactly what was listed. Nick was very responsive, honest, and answered my many questions. Our family's first visit to Portland to celebrate with my daughter for her white coat ceremony at UNE was one to remember. From waking up early to get some Holy Donuts, cheering on the local hockey team, meeting a wonderful florist, walking next to the ocean, and having an owl in the tree right outside our door made this trip so memorable. If looking to stay in Portland, do yourself a favor and book this home. You will be so happy you did!

Great location close to Promenade

The apartment is just as pictured. Very clean, cute neighborhood, easy access to shops and restaurants. Definitely consider the paid parking because there are so many street parkers even in off season. The kitchen is well set up with pots and pans, silverware, glasses etc. Beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels. Very easy to get in touch with landlord with questions. Great idea lace!

Super location. So close and easy to get to many places. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out a little. Paying for driveway parking was so worth it especially when coming home after a long day of sight seeing. Nick is so responsive to all inquiries. All around great stay.

Difficult communication, but lovely stay

We had a lovely time at Nick's place. It’s a great space, well-maintained, clean, and great for a large group. However, we experienced multiple communication challenges that negatively impacted our stay. After booking the listing changed and the original terms weren’t honored. It initially stated occupancy for up to 10 without extra fees, but after booking, we were asked to pay for guests over six (currently the booking states extra fees over 5). We originally booked for 6 and added 2 more (still within max occupancy of orig ad). We informed him of this change nearly a month in advance, using his recommended VRBO process. Yet, we didn’t hear from him about paying the additional fee until the morning of check-in. This last-minute communication felt frustrating and avoidable. When booking you expect the terms at the time of original payment to remain unchanged. Additionally, despite giving weeks of notice and following up multiple times, it was very difficult to get approval for early check-in or late check-out. While we understand scheduling with cleaning crews can be challenging, the amount of follow-up required defeated the convenience of these requests. We do appreciate that he eventually accommodated a slightly adjusted timeline. Lastly, the listing photos were outdated, as the twin bedroom now has a double bed, which the host mentioned over the phone, but still hasn’t updated in the listing. Based on all of the positive reviews we expected more from his communication.

Clean and spacious!

Not only was this rental clean and spacious, it was in such a great location - we really couldn't have asked for anything more! The waterfront is visible from the end of the street - boats and food trucks were out each day down by the water. Super convenient Rosemont Market just a block away for all the essentials. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice rental

We had a great time and this rental was very clean. The host was wonderful and easy to communicate with. My only tiny complaint is that the bedroom radiator was really loud (as they tend to be) and I am a light sleeper, so they kept me up. Not any fault of the rental, just is what it is. 15 minute walk to everything. Lovely, overall.

Great stay in Portland!

Overall we loved our weekend away in Portland and the VRBO worked out perfectly for us. We had 5 little boys with us but there was plenty of space. Could have used a little more silverware as we had a total of 9 people but it all worked out. Also we used the air mattress but it did seem to have a small leak. The place though was clean, spacious and the owner graciously helped us with a pack n play and high chair. He was super easy to communicate with and checked in to make sure we were doing well! Loved it and so happy we could enjoy the trip! Thank you!

Great location

Came for my 50th birthday with 3 girlfriends. Nick was very responsive when we contacted him about a toilet clog and came within a few hours while we were out for the day. The place is very charming, clean and quite roomy! Four of us were very comfy. We used street parking without any issue. If im being super critical, one of the toilets was definitely a little prone to clog so I recommend Nick check that out, as after he unclogged it, it was still flushing slowly so we just used the other bathroom. The other very tiny recommendation would be hooks or towel bars in the bathrooms or bedrooms to hang towels and some better pillows! All in all a wonderful stay and I would definitely go back again and stay at Nick’s place!!
