Harbor View

This is a great place for beautiful morning and evening views or walks of the harbor, walking distance to downtown Portsmouth and a ferry ride to Norfolk! Comfy beds and easy parking, perfect spot to explore if you have a car or not!! Very clean and nicely updated with some of the original features still in the rooms.

Super Location

Apartment is spacious and in a prime location. Towels are super nice. Landlord was very responsive to questions/issues. Notes/Instructions should be updated as they were out of date. Would definitely like to come back when there is no Noreaster.

Great place but...

The place in general was nice and cozy, but it's a shame that we have to pay everytime to cross a bridge or tunnel and the streets were very narrow, but since it seems to be the old part of "Towne" I think it's understandable.

Adorable place, great location!

It was exactly as pictured, very clean apartment style, on the first floor of a restored building. Beautiful view, seriously! Right across from the water unlike most of the places around it, on a little side street where parking was never an issue. I had done my research as far as proximity to other things and that held true. It was a short walk to the ferry which we loved using (several times) including getting to a Tides game and to Waterside, and close to a little downtown area with several restaurants, movie theatre, and kids museums. Tons of historic homes, brick sidewalks, old churches. Truly a gem of a spot!

Fix the AC before you let another family stay there.

Host never got a professional AC person to fix problem. Our 1st 3 days was miserable. I asked for a refund because the next 3 days we stayed was not any better. Make sure AC if fixed before another family stays there.
