1200 Sq Ft ♦ West End Gem ♦ Perfect Location

Enjoy spacious accommodations and two floor living with 1200 square feet of living space. Walk to the local markets and cook in your well equipped kitchen! Completely renovated, relax in comfort or hit the town with Portland's best within walking distance. Optimum comfort is ensured with ACs in both bedrooms. Enjoy top end triple sheet bedding and opulent new mattresses with bountiful synthetic down pillows. If you have ever stayed at a 5 star hotel you will draw similarities. This West End Gem can accommodate 6 people with two new queen beds in the bedrooms and a new queen sleeper sofa in the living room. High speed internet, premium cable TV (HBO), and Netflix is provided.

Guest access is provided via a key drop box. The code will be provided upon booking.

I am always available for questions - feel free to reach out! I live down the street and can assist you when needed.

We have created a custom local West End guide that includes our favorite haunts for you to peruse upon arrival. The West End is a very friendly, safe neighborhood. Don't hesitate to say hi! The location is close to the old port shops, art galleries and the city's many restaurants, yet it's located in Portland's historic district, one of the safest and most beautiful areas in the city. Walking distance to Mercy Hospital and Maine Medical Center and a short drive to the Maine College of Art and the University of Southern Maine. Beautiful Harborview Park overlooks the Portland Waterfront and is 500 feet away. It is a 3-minute walk to a curated neighborhood market and restaurant called Little Giant where you can buy fine wines/beer, sandwiches, pastries, and other sundries. The restaurant serves continental European cuisine. A 10-minute walk will bring you to Rosemont market where you will find groceries, local organic produce, wine/beer, and sandwiches. A juice bar (Farm Truck Juice) is right next door to Rosemont, serving organic cold-pressed juices. Want some pizza? Try Bonobo pizza right across the street from Rosemont serving wood fired pizza and local beer. Want to visit one of Portland’s oldest bars? Head over to Ruski’s…it’s just a 2-minute walk. You’ll find a local crowd here with pub-style food and friendly service. The Danforth Inn is just a few minutes walk away and boasts some of the finest dining and cocktails in Portland. Go here and at least have a drink in the bar; you will not be disappointed. One last you love breakfast sandwiches, walk a few blocks over to Ohno Cafe and try one of their award-winning sandwiches.

Plenty of free parking on the street is readily available as there are no meters in the West End. You can utilize Uber or taxi companies to get to and from the property while you are here. Portland is also very bicycle friendly if you want to bring bikes along. There is a city bus line that has a stop right around the corner from the property.

The property is a rock's throw from Portland's historic Danforth street corridor, the most popular walking route from the West End to the Old Port. Nearby are two playgrounds if you are traveling with children as well as the Reiche Elementary School play fields. Maine Medical Center is a half mile away in case of any emergencies.

Very meh property

The advertisement for this apartment is somewhat misleading. To begin with we arrived late at the property and did not have the correct check in information. Jason was available to help us with the check in but there were no lights either on the porch or inside the apartment. There was no drop box for keys. The apartment is not clean as people have suggested. There is mold over the shower, one of the ceilings in the bedroom is falling. The well equipped kitchen only had two coffee mugs and one had chips. Overall the apartment appears grungy and grimy and needs a big upgrade to justify the amount of money the hosts are requiring. As others have mentioned, there is nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom and the hook to hang a towel is falling off the wall. There is one bedroom upstairs and one bedroom downstairs. Unfortunately the bathroom is upstairs and you have to climb up and down a rather steep staircase. We did not take advantage of the many shops and restaurants in the area so we can’t comment on that.

Friendly Host Okay Stay

The host was very friendly and did as much to help but amenities fell short. Between coming back to an unlocked house even after using the code to lock ( the lock/latch was faulty) and not being able to access moves in the evening the frustration of the two took away a star. If those two things were in place I would have given four stars. The location is an easy walk to restaurants and shops by the ocean. I would not recommend walking to downtown as it was dirty stinky, and had an overall depressing feeling. I hope it cleans up and opens more inviting family friendly stores. I wouldn’t have felt safe with my children there at night but the newer stores and the Old town near the water felt safe at night. We walked to Scales and enjoyed a great meal.

Great location

This place is in a great location, close to many things in Portland. There is a cute little coffee shop just blocks away. Both beds were super comfy. There isn't much seating in the living for 4, just a couch and wooden bench. The shower doesn't give much water pressure and there isn't anywhere to put your toiletries as it's a single pedestal sink so that was a challenge with 3 girls. It could of used some additional cleaning also.

Great Location

I stayed with my daughter. I thought the location of this apartment is great. Lots within walking distance, and neighborhood felt safe/was quiet. Parking was a little tricky, spaces on the street seemed to fill up in the evenings. We had to park up the street and around the corner two nights. The layout of the apartment is different. One bedroom and a small living room are downstairs and one bedroom, the bathroom and kitchen are upstairs. I agree with other reviews that the stairs are steep and would not be great for younger kids or anyone who has trouble with stairs. Beds were very comfortable. Couch was comfortable as well, though it is the only seating in the living room other than a wooden bench. If we had more than just the two of us it would have felt crowded and I would not book this place for more than four. The bathroom could use a little attention. The pedestal sink was quite loose and pulling away from the wall, peeling paint, patched and unpainted walls and mildew on the ceiling over the shower. That said we fond the apartment was clean!

The location was great! The bed room were great to,but we had to chare,because the hide bed was not usable,the mattress was only springs ! The bathroom sealing was flaky. The screen dor had no screen! And finally the stove had a gas leak!! The owner had excuses for all those problems. Not a great experience for our first time with VRBO

Do NOT stay here

The smell of sewage hits you in the face when you open the door (which can take15 tries before figuring out that you have the code right but need to pull on the knob while the electronic lock unlocks). Don't worry, you won't have to hold open the storm/screen door while doing this; you can reach right through because it's just a frame with a piece of wood hanging from it. After spraying some scented stuff in the foyer that hardly masks the stench, you'll find dented, scuffed up walls, banisters, ceilings, and furniture. You'll also find spider webs in most rooms that have been there long enough to collect dust, a ceiling covered in black mold above the shower, bulbs either completely missing or not working in nearly every light fixture, dead bugs on window sills or smeared to ceilings and walls, partially patched holes in some walls, chipped and mismatching mugs, cracked and moldy grout around the bathroom sink, a freezer with no handle, and a bare bones collection of pots and pans. You won't find trash bags (we looked everywhere), a welcome binder with any info about anything, departing instructions (other than a name tag sticker stuck to the door with a handwritten note about checkout being 11:00), comfortable furniture, or artwork that doesn't make you scratch your head.

Great location in an old part of Portland which is full of character; old brick buildings and brick sidewalks. Easy walking distance to many sites and restaurants.
