About this property

Stylish Brownstone Downtown Free St|Perfect Getaway for 2

  • Imagine strolling among the brownstones of the Arts District and Old Port admiring the vibrant history and architecture, just steps from your home base in this completely restored late 1800s brownstone 2nd-floor apartment.

    As you enter, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting space. The exposed brick and hardwood floors add a touch of history, while modern furnishings and appliances create a comfortable and stylish atmosphere. You’re drawn to the spacious living area with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking Congress Street. It’s the ideal place to relax with a cup of fresh brewed coffee or your favorite glass of wine and watch the world go by. Your fully equipped kitchen is perfect for whipping up a snack using the freshest seafood from the local purveyor down the street.

    After a fun filled day browsing the many local boutiques and galleries or cruising the bay there’s nothing better than pampering yourself in the roomy glass shower and toweling off with the plush white towels. Then it’s time to head out to experience the city’s diverse culinary masters, thriving nightlife and music scene of Portland.

    A quick walk brings you back for a relaxing sleep in your new queen bed, finished with fresh luxe linens, in your eclectic and comfortable bedroom with large east-facing windows overlooking the Portland Museum of Art and views out to Casco Bay. As you drift off to sleep, you listen to the faint sounds of the city below. The hum of traffic, laughter of people still enjoying the evening and an occasional gull guarding its dinner.

    Though this is a new apartment, we are not new to hosting. We have over 100 5 Star reviews showcasing our properties. This is the place to stay and have a wonderful time exploring the city of Portland. Don’t wait to book your stay!

    So beautiful and clean!! Spacious newly renovated apartment located in an 1890s brownstone in the center of the Arts District of Portland. Main entry into the brownstone is through a street-level door with keyless access to the shared stairwell. Your 2nd-floor walk-up apartment also has keyless access. There is no parking at your building as it is in a row of historic brownstones. On-street parking is free from 6pm-9am, free on Sunday, and major holidays. Otherwise, on-street parking is metered with a max of 2 hrs. A better solution is a nearby parking garage with 24 hr access for a fee of $19 per 24 hrs on weekdays and $28 on weekends, which is affordable in the city. I am here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. I`m only a phone call/message away. you will be able to self check-in upon arrival.

Very clean and modern apartment that was perfect for a weekend stay in Portland for my husband and I. The location was very close to many shops and restaurants in Old Port. Overall the description is very accurate. I was happy I brought my noise canceling airpods - which drowned out most of the sounds of the city! Overally highly recommend!

Wonderful everything! The space, host, location etc., couldn’t have been better. Dena is so informative and communicative. The apartment is beautiful and has every convenience you need. It’s a block to the museum, State Theater, good food, record stores… Parking was not a problem, and we were here in a blizzard.

Stylish and immaculately clean and bright loft style space in a perfect location between the arts district, the port and the West End Victorian neighborhood. Well appointed kitchen and everything is new from the coffee maker to the handy full sized washer and dryer. Super comfy oversized couches are a great landing pad after a day of exploring the city and easy drive day trips (Ogunquit and Bootbay were a particular delight). Downtown Portland is surprisingly easy to navigate...even parking usually... and overnight street parking (free) was always available just outside the door on weeknights. Great and immediate communications with owner.

Weekend in Portland

Hands down, one of the loveliest rentals I have stayed in over the years while traveling! Dena was on spot with communication and the little details of snacks and notes on area restaurants/favorite spots to hit while visiting. We had a lovely time in Portland and will be back to visit again!

Beautiful place!

I was in Portland for work and stayed here for the week. It was a fabulous place! beautifully located. The only issue was that the address was not recognized by GPS so I had a little trouble finding it. But the property manager was quick to respond and help resolve the issue. Highly recommend!

Birthday Celebration Trip

The property did not disappoint! We found it clean and comfortable. We felt safe and walked to dinner most evenings. Parking was the only challenge, but that seemed to be a constant everywhere we went from Ogunquit to Bar Harbor. I don't think the property owner had control over the weather, but if I'm wrong, great job! Definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!!!

Ideal Location

This was the perfect location for our stay in Portland. We parked our car at the parking garage that was recommended and were easily able to walk to all the restaurants and shops we visited. The apartment was very spacious for 2 people and had everything we needed for our 2 nights. I am a light sleeper and used the ear plugs that were provided in the welcome basket to drown out the noise from the street at night, which definitely helped. Portland has so much to do and see and this apartment was the ideal location for all of it.

Excellent apartment.

Our stay at this apartment was very comfortable. The place seems brand new and is spotless and very nicely appointed. I would recommend this apartment. The only negative was difficulty in lugging our luggage upstairs and then parking at a not-so-close spot. But we knew about the no parking space before we rented.

Walkable cute apartment

Very clean and cute apartment in walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops in downtown Portland. Dena was very communicative and helpful! One thing that surprised us was the locked door that appeared to connect to the apartment next door. At one point we could hear the occupants talking/cooking dinner which wasn’t a big deal but just surprised us.

Downtown Portland Maine

Our accommodations were lovely.Everything was exactly as it appeared in the photographs. The apartment is immaculate. Coming from the suburbs of Charleston SC urban life is an adjustment, parking car on the street, traffic etc. Parking on the street after 6 pm is free and we were lucky each night for this to happen. Parking garage was also close by. In addition this location is close to breakfast places and fantastic Otto’s pizza that even 79 year olds can walk to! One night we had a problem with Net Felix and our hostess promptly and very pleasantly fixed it. Her attention to welcoming and preparing us could not have been better.
