Our stay was fantastic to celebrate my birthday with my BFF! The Margaret Suite was even lovelier than pictured and it was such a nice spot to enjoy a couple of nights in Portland. The views are spectacular, and the comfort of the suite was perfect. It was very well appointed with everything needed to make our stay a great memory. So easy to deal with Scott and Karen and they had everything down to a T. Would definitely recommend it and stay there again. It was smack in the middle of all that the old port has to offer and then some. Thank you again, Lisa

Location. Stunning views from the skylight windows. Private and secure. Soaking tub is restorative, especially in winter season. Standard Bakery is a 5 minute walk, Coffee By Design (local) and delectable scones, cardamom buns and other French breakfast pastries. We only used the gas stove to boil water in the kettle.

Great downtown stay!
This property is beautiful and located in the heart of downtown Portland. Stunning views of the harbor from the main living area! We didn’t have enough towels and the property manager delivered more within minutes. The sheets are high / hotel quality and the bed so super comfortable. The master bathroom is extremely small but otherwise it was a perfect stay. Literally minutes (walking) from tons of restaurants and shops and downtown Portland was an absolute VIBE! Highly recommend this penthouse suite!

Thanksgiving in Portland ME
Lovely property, central to everything, fabulous views. Modern kitchen with new appliances. Bedrooms and bathrooms while small were also newly updated. My only negative would be that there was no trash pickup over the course of our 4 day stay, I’m guessing due to the holiday.

Perfect Location
Margaret is in a good location convenient to many restaurants and bars. The apartment was clean upon our arrival and was well appointed with linen, pots and pans, spices, dishware etc. The parking pass made it very easy to park in a super busy downtown location. The trick is finding a parking space upon arrival so the parking pass can be retrieved from the apartment. Also, although the VRBO listing shows a hot tub is available, it is actually a soaking tub in the primary bathroom. Regardless, you won't be disappointed with this VRBO
