Many of these spaces are stroller- and kid-friendly, and within walking or short driving distance from the penthouse. Additionally, experience local lighthouses—like Bug Light, Portland Head Light, and Spring Point Ledge Light—all within a 10-mile radius and easily accessible. They’re great for family photos and simple seaside adventures.

Excellent Stay!
We loved this beautiful space. My family of four spent a few nights in Portland and this location could not have been better! It’s located on the most dynamic street in the city. Our communication with the host was perfect and so was everything else. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location & Nice Option in Portland
The place is great and the location is right in the heart of Portland. Only one bathroom, which is downstairs. Bedrooms are upstairs. It was not a problem for 3 adults but you should keep in mind. I would stay again!

Great location with a few things that need addressed
This penthouse apartment is beautiful and the location is ideal for exploring all of downtown Portland on foot. The neighborhood was safe (we were with our 3 small children), and cheap/free street parking was easy to find.
Checkin process was super easy with both back and front door access points. Shopping, bars, restaurants all within a few feet. The reading nook in the unit was adorable for the kids.
Issues for the host to address:
#1 - Our internet did not work at all for our entire 3 night stay. He told us to troubleshoot the router, but that did nothing and we were left with no WIFI and no TV (with 3 small kids) for the whole trip. The TV runs solely on streaming services. We had to use our personal hot spots on our phones and laptops and incur charges through AT&T for that. This was totally not acceptable in my book.
#2 - The seagulls nesting on the roof. This penthouse has sky lights on both levels and the bedrooms are both upstairs. I barely slept for 3 nights due to screaming gulls living on the roof. Dozens of them. Something needs to be done about this.
#3 - The bathroom is downstairs. This needs to be told upfront in the listing. I wouldn't have booked this if I knew the bathroom was totally separate from the bedrooms. Anyone who needs to use the bathroom at night will not love this.
#4 - Dirt and dust falling from the ceiling. The floor and desk area were covered in dirt/grit. We had to clean it daily.
Overall, wouldn't stay again.
