Perfect girls trip spot!
My friends and I had a great stay at Nick & Kayla’s place! It was an ideal location, easy check in process and even with some weather issues the hosts were very accommodating. The off street parking was a huge plus. Would recommend!

Fantastic place to have a home base while exploring the city. Steps away from some great restaurants and sites in Portland. Will be staying here on our next visit!

Cute and convenient
We stayed here for two nights with our teenage daughters and our lab. The apartment is adorable, very clean and esthetically appealing. It is well appointed and has anything you could need. The included parking garage is close by and we were a short walk from all the old port restaurants and shops. Nick and Kayla were very attentive and easy to reach, a pleasure to rent from! We would definitely stay again. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience and for welcoming our fur baby!

Lovely base from which to see Portland and surrounding area
Everything matched the description and photos. We had a lovely stay and much of it was walkable from the unit. Our dog enjoyed it also. Highly recommended.

Visit with Family
The perfect location and perfect place to stay in Portland. Minutes from our family, made getting together so easy. So many fun places nearby, walking for sure, State Theater, one Longfellow, restaurants, shopping and so much more. We look forward to our next visit and will stay again if the property is available. The place was so clean and well put together with all the home touches. Nick and Kayla were very welcoming. Great place to stay...
