Wonderful Accomodations

The accomodations at this home were excellent! It was comfortable, clean, and spacious. It is located in the historic district of Portsmouth and so convienent to walk to different locations. There was a farmer's market in town the weekend we were there which we walked to. The easy and prompt communication with the owner made us feel at ease leading up to the date of our stay. The owners were so kind and even left a graduation card and gift for our daughter graduating from law school. I would highly recommend this place!
