About this property

Charming Old Port 2BR, Steps to Waterfront

Welcome to your stay in the heart of Portland’s historic Old Port, where cobblestone streets, the working waterfront, acclaimed restaurants, local breweries, coffee shops, and charming boutiques are all just steps from your door. Set inside a classic brick building, this renovated two-bedroom loft combines the character of historic Portland with bright, comfortable spaces perfect for settling in after a day of exploring.

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, a foodie escape, a business trip, or a coastal Maine adventure, this central location makes it easy to experience the best of Portland on foot.

What You’ll Love

• Unbeatable Old Port Location
Leave the car behind and explore Portland right outside your door. Walk to the waterfront, restaurants, cafés, breweries, independent shops, ferry terminals, and many of the city’s most popular destinations.

• Historic Portland Charm
Exposed brick, high ceilings, oversized windows, and the character of a historic Old Port building give the loft an authentic Portland feel, complemented by thoughtful updates and modern comforts.

• Two Cozy Bedrooms
The loft features two comfortable bedrooms, each with a full-size bed, quality linens, blackout curtains, and a relaxing atmosphere for winding down after a full day in the city.

• Bright & Comfortable Living Space
Large windows bring plenty of natural light into the loft and offer views of the surrounding Old Port. Relax in the comfortable seating area, stream a movie on the Smart TV, or recharge before heading back out to explore.

• Fully Equipped Kitchen
Enjoy the convenience of a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, cookware, generous counter space, and everyday essentials for preparing meals at home. And with some of Portland’s best restaurants just outside, you’ll have plenty of options when you’d rather dine out.

Explore Portland From Your Doorstep

Start the morning with coffee from a neighborhood café, wander the cobblestone streets, browse local boutiques, and explore Portland’s working waterfront. Spend the afternoon discovering breweries and museums, take a ferry out to the Casco Bay Islands, or make your way toward the Eastern Promenade for beautiful coastal views.

When evening arrives, enjoy Portland’s celebrated dining and nightlife scene without worrying about a long trip back—the Old Port is right outside your door.

This is the second year we've rented this property. Not only is it "white glove" CLEAN, but you couldn't find a better location in Old Port. You are right in heart of all of the restaurants and shops and across the street from the waterfront. Erika, the host, is phenomenal with communication. She'll help with you restaurant recommendations, good shops to check out, etc. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are super comfortable. Look no further - this is the place and we'll be back next December!!

The apartment was comfortable, clean and well stocked. It was a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights, but that is to be expected in this downtown location. The AC fans blocked the noise. Very convenient location.

Perfect Location!!

My husband and I stayed here with another couple for the weekend and this apartment could NOT have been better. It was spacious, clean, updated, and the most amazing location to walk around Portland. The communication was timely and informative. They even had coffee and k-cups available, which was so nice! Would absolutely look to stay here again.

First off communications with Erika were wonderful. Always answered us in a timely manner. The locaton of the apt is wonderful for walking to restaurants etc and felt very safe. The apartment itself is very clean and everything looks and feels new and the beds very comfortable. Cons were that washer and dryer are not in the unit itself, they are on a separate floor and are pay. While there is a parking lot right across the alley it costs 70 a day and street parking was very limited as we were there during Winter Storm Fern. If you like to read in bed at night bring a book light as there are no bedside lamps and as mentioned in other reviews bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Great apartment. We had to fuss with the window ACs a bit but got them working. The only annoying thing was the parking. The easy parking was very expensive. We found a reasonable lot though a walk away.

downtown Portland

This apartment was really nicely appointed. Fairly easy to find. Parking is a bit tricky. plan on using the pay parking lot next door. Since this is right downtown, everything is within a short walking distance, but Friday night was a bit loud (for us fair-weather sleepers). Communication with the host was great! All in all, I would recommend this place.

Great Location, Super Clean, Secure

For a friends’ stay in Portland with no car this was an excellent location and literally just a street away from the Old Port area. The unit was on a secured floor, and on upper floor which was great for light, view and quiet. The elevator was an unusual find in this part of town. Pictures were accurate and good perspective on unit; place was “as advertised”. Kitchen was fine for brief stay and very clean, but would be spare for cooking whole meals. Beds were comfortable, as were the linens. Extremely convenient to lots of shops and restaurants, bars.

This is the one to pick!!!

Every holiday, my brother and his wife and I go to visit friends in Portland. This is a perfect two bedroom condo that has all the amenities in terms of a fully stocked kitchen and the most comfortable beds and pillows. It’s very clean and beautifully decorated. The key is also the LOCATION! This place is in the heart of the Old Port so once you park your car, you can walk to some of the nicest shops and best restaurants. Erika, our property manager, answered all of my questions quickly . One recommendation is do not park at the Fore Street garage. Instead go one block over and valet it at the Portland Regency. You can go in and out and it’s $30 a day which is better than $55 a day at the garage.

Great location but noisy….

It was our annual girls’ trip: 4 ladies in early 50s… The pros: —GREAT location, can walk to all attractions, restaurants and cute boutiques/shops. —Excellent communication with host. Instructions were clear and understandable. —Kitchen stocked with more than enough dish ware, silverware, cookware —Building’s laundry room easily accessible—did not have to pay & plenty of machines —2 minute walk to STANDARD BAKERY—we had breakfast pastries from there every day The cons: —Nearby businesses had loud music until 12pm on Friday & Saturday nights. So if you’re a light sleeper—bring earplugs or sleep in the living room—which one of us had to do. It was quiet our first & last nights (Thursday & Sunday). —We had to install one of the window AC units ourselves, and the parts are not measured to fit the window sill properly, so we had to “jerry-rig” it with a hand towel to make it work. —The Fore Street parking garage was expensive at $60/day. My friend parked at the Cumberland County Courthouse parking garage, which is at $30/day & 10 minute walk. We did have to exit & re-enter each day with that garage, even if we spent the entire day in Portland. Nonetheless, this property was still reasonably priced compared to area lodging. Would definitely re-book with earplugs:noise cancelling headphones packed in suitcase.
