Quaint comfortable house in a wonderful location. Very walkable location and a great place to finish the day after exploring Portland. Host is very quick to respond to any questions!
Great older house with all amenities and really walkable to downtown Portland. We really enjoyed walking our dog around downtown and the harbor path on the East side of Portland. Great weekend.
Well located in terms of walking to restaurants and shops in Old Port. Cute antique home. Very comfortable. Easy to communicate with owner, we initially had trouble logging into wifi but resolved quickly. Portland is very dog friendly city.
We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere,living room with a fireplace, spacious kitchen. The location was central to everything. Plenty of street parking. The hosts were great and answered any questions we had. The house has a fenced yard. It was perfect for anyone needing to walk their dog.
