We had an amazing time exploring Portland! Our hosts were amazing and attentive. They greeted us at check in with fresh flowers and suggestions on places to visit! The house was clean and located perfectly where we could walk around the city. The neighborhood was quiet. We felt safe walking at night. We had a short stay in Portland but we packed in as much as we could. Breakfast at Bayside American Cafe is a MUST! The best Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary I’ve ever had! We stopped in at Taco Escobarr for happy hour and it was a blast! The strawberry jalapeño infused margarita was 👌 again, the best I’ve had! Then had dinner at High Roller. All fantastic!

The roomy 1-bedroom apartment in a great location met all of our needs. Sue greeted us upon arrival and provided lots of information about Portland that helped us structure our trip and make optimal use of our 2.5 days there. The apartment was very clean and had all the “extras” that made it feel like home. Parking was convenient (we had our own space across the street) and although having a car was great for out of town trips, the neighborhood was walkable and conveniently located to a variety of activities. We would definitely stay here again if we get a chance to travel to Portland in the future.

Me and my sister and had a wonderful stay in Portland, thanks in large part to Sue and Barry. Their rental is perfectly located in a great area that is highly walkable to almost everything you'd want to reach during a vacation. The rental was spacious and had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. And you should absolutely listen to Sue's recommendations on things to do because we enjoyed every restaurant and activity suggestion she shared.

The first thing that struck me about this apartment was the cleanliness and obvious attention paid to guest's comfort. The place is spacious, lots of natural light, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen, cozy bed with a great mattress, and easy to maneuver bathroom. Sue and Barry are welcoming and generous hosts. They were on the spot with answers to questions, suggestions, and detailed instructions. The apartment is close to anything you'd want from Portland. Worth every penny.

5 STARS! Perfect from start to finish! Your host and hostess are the nicest couple. They live in the apartment above you. They were there to greet us. It felt like coming home to family. The apartment was clean, spacious, well located and comfortable. They provided snacks, coffee, teas and even fresh creamer in the frig. Stay here. You're done looking!

From the moment we arrived we felt as if we were staying with family. Sue and Barry welcomed us at the door, showed us our apartment, gave us a short tour, went over instructions for anything we might need befor letting us settle in for the night. During the day they were easy to reach through text and thry even sent us updates about cool events in town. They were so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend staying here!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 3 nights in this amazing Portland apartment. It had tons of charm alongside everything youd need for a comfortable stay - coffee, teas, even little snacks! It’s in a perfect location to walk all of Portland by foot. We only had to call a car to go to farther away places like Allagash Brewing. Be sure to pet the kitty next door - Mama - when you stay!

We had such a nice experience staying at Sue and Barry's apartment. Upon our arrival, we were given a tour of the property as well as a recommendations of what to do/where to go in the area. The apartment and area of the city were great and in a super convenient location. We had a lovely time!

It was great being able to walk all over downtown, the Old Port, etc. And being a short drive from Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Sue was a wonderful host. She met us when we arrived with a map of Portland and gave us great tips. Very much appreciated her taking the time to do that - it’s rare that we get that kind of personal attention with vacation rentals.

My husband and I just returned from a three day stay in Portland at this VRBO and loved every minute of being there. Barry & Sue are lovely people who reside on the second floor while we had the first floor apartment. They gave us all the info we needed; we went to the Portland Museum of Art one day followed by a great dinner at The Little Tap Room; the next day, we toured the Victoria Mansion which requires advance reservations; Don't Miss It! Some people were turned away without reservations. The apartment was meticulously clean, and had all the kitchen gadgets one would need if they chose to prepare meals in. The living room was comfy, and the bed and pillows were as well. We had a designated parking place about 100 feet from the apt. We were able to walk to the museum AND the Victoria Mansion without any difficulty. Our three days in Portland were delightful and just an FYI: you will need to make reservations at restaurants well in advance of coming to Portland. Many were booked solid in August.

Wonderful place to stay, we couldn’t expect anything better. The location is perfect for enjoying downtown Portland, the apt. is very tastefully decorated, plenty of room for the two of us, and very quiet for restful night’s sleep. We made good use of the kitchen for various meals. The hosts were very attentive if we were to need anything, but we lacked for nothing. We plan to return again next year and stay in the same place!

Sue & Barry are amazing hosts, such nice people and a lovely place. Everything was perfect, from the welcoming snacks to the comfortable apartment. Everything was easy and the apartment was so clean!!! We were in Portland for son's wedding and this was the perfect place for us. We will be telling all our friends and relatives about this gem. We are going to go back soon and spend a weekend enjoying all that Portland has to offer. Thanks again to Sue & Barry for making this such a memorable time. Kenny & Beth

My husband and I stayed at this apartment for a week- used it as a base camp to explore Portland and the surrounding towns. It was super- comfortable and in great shape. Bed and accompanying linens were top notch! Sue and Barry greeted us upon arrival and made sure we were familiar with everything in the apartment as well as the surrounding area. We’d definitely stay there again!

This apartment was a very comfortable base for a stay in Portland. It was very clean and a great size for the two of us. We greatly appreciated the two large walk-in style robes that accommodated our large suitcases. The kitchen was well set up for those who might want to cook. I’d highly recommend this apartment to anyone considering a visit to Portland.

Had a fantastic honeymoon stay with Sue and Barry! They have a beautiful and relaxing apartment with the most comfy blankets and lovely amenities. We loved being immersed in the energy of the city while having a little bit of quiet too! Everything was clean and instructions for handling trash/check out were super straight forward. We were warmly greeted by them when we checked in and they gave us the best recommendations for food and music around the city. We almost got to see them all in a short stay. Sue was also very quick with texting and awesome communication. Definitely plan to visit again to explore Portland more and hopefully, we will be able to stay with Sue and Barry when we do!

My stay at Sue and Barry's apartment was absolutely wonderful. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, extremely clean and well-appointed. I could not have been happier. The location is perfect for exploring Portland, a quiet street and just a 20 minute walk to the waterfront and ferry. Sue and Barry were lovely hosts and have thought of everything to make their guests' comfortable. There was even a quart of half and half in the fridge on my arrival- such a thoughtful touch. I will definitely return for another visit; I cannot imagine a nicer place to stay.

Sue and Barry's apartment was absolutely perfect for us this weekend! We were in town to visit family, but very much enjoyed our central location to tour the town on foot. The hosts greeted us upon arrival, and the apartment could not have been nicer! We will definitely return!

This rental is an absolute gem. Not only is the owner of the property the most thoughtful person but the apartment is beautiful with very large closets and a modern aesthetic. We enjoyed walking to anywhere we possibly wanted to in Portland. Sue made our wedding weekend special with chocolate truffles, fresh flowers, champagne and blueberry jam. She gave us a tour of the apartment and wanted to help us with any recommendations we might need for dinner etc. I highly recommend this rental for your stay in Portland you will not be disappointed :)

This place was great. Located next to a ton of good food, coffee, and even Bubble tea! We had some rainy weather and it was nice to cozy up in this little apartment and just relax. The owners were great and super accommodating. We recommend this place to any travelers.

Everything about this property went beyond our expectations. It was in a great neighborhood, within walking distance to the old port and tons of great restaurants. The apartment itself was immaculate and had everything we needed. Sue was a great host. Unfortunately, we never met Barry because we were out a good bit of the time.

My friend and I just stayed 4 nights in Barry and Sue’s unit and it was perfect! We didn’t have a vehicle so it was about a 20 minute walk downtown and a perfect location for us. It was very clean, well furnished and the hosts were the sweetest! We really enjoyed meeting them. We will for sure be recommending them to some family that plans to travel to Portland in the future.

Can’t say enough about our Portland experience with hosts Sue & Barry. Great accommodations as advertised, great location, and wonderful hosts. The apartment was roomy, nice kitchen and a heavenly bed enhanced our 4 night stay. Sue & Barry greeted us like old friends and proceeded to give us a great “briefing” of the town, the restaurants, and things to do…. The restaurant recommendations were spot-on - never had a bad meal… My wife & I really enjoyed the accommodations - very cozy and in the heart of a great walkable city. Never used our car the whole stay. You won’t meet better hosts also. Thanks Sue & Barry. Hope to be back soon….

Sue & Barry were gracious hosts and nearby if there were any issues...of which they were none! They gave us the rundown of the area and suggest several great restaurants. The apartment offered us plenty of room with every convenience and a well stocked kitchen so if we had wanted to "cook in" it would have been enjoyable. However, we chose to eat at the Green Elephant, Boda's and Hot Suppa - all amazing. And to top it off Barry even gave us a ride to the airport...so appreciated. Thank you Sue & Barry!

The flat is as advertised. The location is within ~2 blocks of the main road for restaurants & shops, in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Maybe the best part were the hosts (Sue & Barry), who were quite kind and took time to show off the apt and also chat about the downtown area. Moreover, they had time to actually pick us up from the bus station. Amazing. When I come back to Portland, I will be looking to stay here for sure.

Sue and Barry were extremely welcoming hosts. They greeted us when we arrived and wanted to tell us all about Portland. They repeatedly told us to travel along Congress St. when moving about to city, but made no indication of why. The reason is because their is a large homeless population in the area with an encampment just a few blocks away. This is common in Cities now a day and was not a deterrent for exploring…I just which they would have been more forthcoming about the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend staying with Sue and Barry, just stay aware of your surroundings.

The best hosts ever. Sue and Barry picked us up at the train station (train was 30 minutes late. ) They gave us a tour of Portland by car. Provided great insights and recommendations. Then Barry drove us to the airport (early) to pick up our rental car. This is the only place I want to stay in Portland.

Sue and Barry were wonderful to meet and super helpful throughout our stay. They even left a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary trip. The house was perfectly located so that we could walk to breweries, stores, restaurants, and the waterfront. We would happily stay again.

Even nicer than it looks on the website. We also enjoyed the little treats and coffee left by the owner. Another important thing to know is they have air-conditioning (not all do). We would definitely rent this place again.

My wife and I just spent 5 amazing nights in Portland. We easily walked everywhere. The parking space is a huge perk. I just looked and the listing states 450 square feet. It felt more like a whole house to the two of us. There is a large living area and a full size kitchen. Sue and Barry were wonderful hosts. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee, creamer, snacks, umbrellas, and beach towels were all provided. There are two huge walk-in closets. We took wonderful walks during the day and had incredible meals each night. Kennebunk Beach and Old Orchard Beach were delights in very different ways.
