We have created a custom local West End guide that includes our favourite haunts for you to peruse upon arrival. The West End is a very friendly, safe area. Don't hesitate to say hi! The location is close to the old port shops, art galleries and the city's many restaurants, yet it's located in Portland's historic district, one of the safest and most beautiful areas in the city. Walking distance to Mercy Hospital and Maine Medical Centre and a short drive to the Maine College of Art and the University of Southern Maine. Beautiful Harborview Park overlooks the Portland Waterfront and is 500 feet away. It is a 3-minute walk to a curated area market and restaurant called Little Giant where you can buy fine wines/beer, sandwiches, pastries, and other sundries. The restaurant serves continental European cuisine. A 10-minute walk will bring you to Rosemont market where you will find groceries, local organic produce, wine/beer, and sandwiches. A juice bar (Farm Lorry Juice) is right next door to Rosemont, serving organic cold-pressed juices. Want some pizza? Try Bonobo pizza right across the street from Rosemont serving wood fired pizza and local beer. Want to visit one of Portland’s oldest bars? Head over to Ruski’s…it’s just a 2-minute walk. You’ll find a local crowd here with pub-style food and friendly service. The Danforth Inn is just a few minutes walk away and boasts some of the finest dining and cocktails in Portland. Go here and at least have a drink in the bar; you will not be disappointed. One last you love breakfast sandwiches, walk a few blocks over to Ohno Cafe and try one of their award-winning sandwiches.
Plenty of free parking on the street is readily available as there are no metres in the West End. You can utilise Uber or taxi companies to get to and from the property while you are here. Portland is also very bicycle friendly if you want to bring bikes along. There is a city bus line that has a stop right around the corner from the property.
The property is a rock's throw from Portland's historic Danforth street corridor, the most popular walking route from the West End to the Old Port. Nearby are two playgrounds if you are travelling with children as well as the Reiche Elementary School play fields. Maine Medical Centre is a half mile away in case of any emergencies.

Very nice place, clean, good location. On-street parking was available. Second floor kitchen & bath, so not for those with issues with stairs, but fine for us. Would stay again!
Fabulous location! Walking distance to every where. Clean and quiet!

Charming property and friendly hosts, with easy access to the airport, major highways as well as local spots. We used this as a sort of base camp to look at a number of colleges in the area. Wished to have stayed longer and will definitely stay again.
We stayed one night. It was clean and the host was very reaponse. Getting into the property was easy. The pullout sofa was stuck but the host offered an air mattress. It had everything you would need.
This place is in a great location, close to many things in Portland. There is a cute little coffee shop just blocks away. Both beds were super comfy. There isn't much seating in the living for 4, just a couch and wooden bench. The shower doesn't give much water pressure and there isn't anywhere to put your toiletries as it's a single pedestal sink so that was a challenge with 3 girls. It could of used some additional cleaning also.

Far from a 5 stars hotel
The location was great!
The bed room were great to,but we had to chare,because the hide bed was not usable,the mattress was only springs !
The bathroom sealing was flaky.
The screen dor had no screen!
And finally the stove had a gas leak!!
The owner had excuses for all those problems.
Not a great experience for our first time with VRBO
I stayed with my daughter. I thought the location of this apartment is great. Lots within walking distance, and neighborhood felt safe/was quiet. Parking was a little tricky, spaces on the street seemed to fill up in the evenings. We had to park up the street and around the corner two nights.
The layout of the apartment is different. One bedroom and a small living room are downstairs and one bedroom, the bathroom and kitchen are upstairs. I agree with other reviews that the stairs are steep and would not be great for younger kids or anyone who has trouble with stairs. Beds were very comfortable. Couch was comfortable as well, though it is the only seating in the living room other than a wooden bench. If we had more than just the two of us it would have felt crowded and I would not book this place for more than four. The bathroom could use a little attention. The pedestal sink was quite loose and pulling away from the wall, peeling paint, patched and unpainted walls and mildew on the ceiling over the shower. That said we fond the apartment was clean!
The property was perfect for myself and my two adult sons. The host made everything seem less for us. Great location as we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. 11 out of ten!
The house is good and reasonably appointed for a short stay. Beds quite comfortable and home is clean You can walk to downtown port area easily. Very peaceful residential street. Enjoyed our short visit.
Nicely appointed property in Portland's West End. Served well for adults. There are steep stairs to the upstairs bathroom and kitchen which might be difficult for those with mobility problems.Great location, would stay here again.
Screen door was broke, would not close properly. Inside was very clean and comfortable beds. We just slept there and is fine for 2 people but not more.

Communication with the host was very good .
The house was older than expected .
Sheets on sofa bed were soiled , but we had additional clean sheets to use.
Kitchen would benefit from being better stocked . (Additional dish towels, sponge missing , additional frying pan .)
Steps to the kitchen , bathroom and bedroom are steep .
Street parking available ….

Charming Old Port Apartment
We had a very nice stay at this charming Old Port apartment. The beds & bedding where very comfy. We would stay again :)
The location was perfect--an easy walk to restaurants and beaches. The hosts' binder of places to go was helpful. It was also nice having bedrooms on two separate floors.
Lovely spot and walkable distance to many great spots.
I forgot a friendship bracelet in the property, hopefully we can find a way to have it sent back to me!
My daughter and I had a wonderful weekend exploring Portland, rented bikes and saw the light houses. The apartment is adorable, spacious and quirky, exactly as you see on the pictures. In walking distance to downtown. Would stay there again.
