About this house rental
A fun, modern, cozy apartment sitting on top of Munjoy Hill on North Street. Enjoy some of the best views in the city facing southwest to downtown, the Back Cove, with the White Mountains in the background, and stunning sunsets. The apartment is part of a two-unit home that we own and occupy. Enjoy the sunny backyard overflowing with flowers, hops, apples and grapes. We are a 2-minute walk to Washington Avenue, where there are a number of amazing restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries and hip stores. We are an 8-minute walk to the East Bayside brewery area.
Our home was built in 1876. It is one of the oldest homes on the hill. We bought the house in 2010 and have renovated it. We are a family of four living upstairs. We are an international family. I am from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and my wife is from Lisbon, Portugal. We love to travel the world seeking adventure and sun in the winter. We are very passionate about surfing, skiing, mountain biking, beer, food and Portland, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask us.
We made the apartment a fun blend of the historic nature of the home with modern touches and artwork we have picked up while traveling the globe. My wife Rita from Portugal speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian for those travelers preferring to communicate in these languages. We truly hope you have a wonderful stay in our little oasis on the hill.
Please note that our two-bedroom set up is “railroad style”, so you go through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom. This is a common and authentic style of building in the 1800s. This setup is great for families with kids, but we will defer to you to decide if it is comfortable for two couples seeking privacy. As a solution. we have a sectional sofa that converts to a queen size bed in the living room. This is not a traditional pullout with uncomfortable bars in the middle, instead if feels like an actual mattress. We have a super soft topper for it to make it even cozier. The living room has window curtains that can be closed for privacy for those sleeping on the converted sofa.

Rita was an excellent host for our trip to Portland. The place is so cozy and it is a breath of fresh air from many of these rentals owned by companies where the rooms have no personality. This felt like a home away from home. Rita was very responsive through vrbo and was flexible with our check in time when we needed to get in early to nap our 1yo twins. There were even toys/books/high chair for our babies, which was a delightful surprise! The house manual listed so many suggestions for places to eat/drink and things to do around town. Check in/Check out was super easy. The property is at the top of Munjoy Hill so be prepared for hills if planning on walking to Old Port or many of the local breweries (which we didn't mind at all - helped burn off some of the calories we consumed haha).

While the apartment was clean and in a great location it is definetly not big enough for 4-6 adults. Perfect for a couple! It is advertised as 2 bedrooms, but it is one small master bedroom with queen bed and you have to access the second small bedroom by going thru the master bedroom. (Maybe a good choice with babies?) Loved the location, but with four adults, we had to make the livingroom the second bedroom and it was a struggle with just one bathroom.

The flat had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. We were able to park on the street in front of the house every day. Food was available within walking distance. The host offered good neighborhood suggestions.
