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 !

The main rooms do not get air conditioning to the rooms. The water jumps from hot to cold dangerously. The window unit took me 4 hours to clean the mold out on the first day. The place sucked. Never again.

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.

Perfect quiet location

Me and a friend were in town for a concert and decided to arrive the night before and leave the next of the event, this house was perfect and had so much character to it, being in the historic part of Portsmouth, we knew exactly what to expect! If we ever go back that away, we will definitely rent it again.

The apartment was charming; however, it could use some updating. The location was excellent, quiet, and easy access to local stores and restaurants. Ideal for a short stay.

The property is as described and worked for us. Great value, clean, and the awaiting snacks were appreciated. Nice neighborhood, as well, with a Wawa one block away, which is convenient. We would stay again.

clean and quiet apartment

our three night stay was great. The apartment was clean and the owner was very responsive whenever we had questions. It was made very clear prior to choosing this property that it was an older building. Some of the interior doors don't close properly and the floor creaks pretty good in spots but this by no means takes away from the properties quaint charm. There are restaurants and entertainment within walking distance as well as ferries that can take you to waterside. Everything was as described and worked as described. The only thing I want to warn against is the stairs to the apartment, they could be pretty tough for the elderly, anyone with bad knees or handicapped people. I would definitely stay again.

Old house, fabulous location

We really liked Olde Town; the location was great, and close to the seawall and lots of historical buildings. The house itself was old and seemed a bit run-down (not everything worked), but the owners were responsive to addressing urgent concerns, and the price was good.

Cozy historic apartment, bit of a bumpy stay, 3.5 stars

My friend and I wanted to stay somewhere near the Norfolk Amtrak station while we visited here for the long weekend. This home in Old Town Portsmouth is in a pretty neighborhood and a short walk to a lot of cafes, shops, and the local ferry. It fit our needs quite well and it was a comfortable and spacious stay! We also enjoyed all the neighborhood cats and the takeout food we ordered that was delivered here with no issues. The owner was also quite nice and left us a frozen pizza and some chips and hummus for our arrival! There were some drawbacks. The area is a little rough, so I’m glad we stayed together - one night, we heard a guy yelling outside at 2 am and there were four police cars surrounding him. Nothing else happened, but it did make us both lose some sleep. In my room, there was an active wasp nest in the window. Again, the bugs did not cause any injuries and when I let the owner know, he responded about it right away to say he could send a maintenance man to take care of it. My friend also tried to dry her clothes in the in-unit dryer. For some reason, it didn’t dry anything despite running as if it was going to. Again, the owner responded right away and let us know he could send someone to fix this. I also personally think the sheets were not the softest, but they were definitely clean and the beds and furniture were all in very good repair. All minor stressors, I would say, but certainly something to consider if you want to stay in this neighborhood.
