Late check in instructions costed! Text by the owner was inconsiderate and made us feel UNWELCOME.This house was unsafe! NOT WORTH THE COST!!! Buldging pealing and cracked walls and ceilings, insufficient outlets, uneven floors and walls, and structure; doors did not close, dirty worn sofas, insufficient kitchen supplies, old rough towels, tiny toilet, intermittent air conditioner in living room, fear of collapsing holes in the balcony floor, worn dirty porch furniture, wobbly banister on steep cement stairs, limited parking in front, blinds broken and set too high to reach, windows lacked privacy, beds were hard, linen and pillows were cheap, bug bit me the last night. Over 20 stairs to climb to a major disappointment. Washer , dryer and water pressure were the best features.

The place was great. It was listed on the second floor but I didn’t realize it. We were out exploring most of the time. My chihuahua loved the hallway, she would zoom back and forth playing.

Ed was a great host and had snacks waiting for us upon arrival. He was very prompt to respond to any questions we had. The unit is quiet and on the upper level of a charming historic home in Old Portsmouth. Walking distance to great restaurants and a small park to walk your dog to. Overall, we had a great stay!

This was a great place to stay. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was nicely equipped. Ed communicated with us quickly which was greatly appreciated when our original booking in Norfolk fell through. We enjoyed our stay in Portsmouth and would stay here again

Host was very responsive with communication. We were starving after a long trip and pleasantly surprised to find a frozen pizza and someCrackers and hummus in the fridge! The property is historically older. Some updates decor and repair is needed but not necessary for our stay. The neighbors in the building are close and we were slightly annoyed with the barking of close by pets first thing in the morning. Overall a 4/5

Vacation apartment rental was terrible, below standard. Health concerns exist with live rodents in ceiling above bed making screeching & clawing noises. Could not sleep! Every room had large patched areas , unpainted with loose plaster, holes, & cracks. Location to tourist areas were walkable however unclean, felt unsafe at night. Apartment was Falsely advertised, left next morning & demanded refund. Still have not received resolution from owner or Vrbo after 7 days !

Historic District is the best

We loved the area. We loved having access (just a few blocks) to the ferry to go into Norfolk. The unit was just what we wanted: quiet, plenty of room for us with two bedrooms. Kitchen had all we needed. Loved the outside veranda especially in the morning.
