The property was perfect—very well stocked and a great location. Easy to walk to fun shopping and delicious dining and coffee within walking distance. Loved our visit to Portland, and this property and Nick and Kayla, the hosts, made it very easy.

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!

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!
