Experience a quintessential Portland setting in the city's most desirable neighborhood at this beautifully renovated condo in the heart of the historic West End. Revel in the century-old mansions nearby and the clapboard-sided homes famed architect John Calvin Stevens designed around the turn of the century.

Perfect for couples traveling together, this condo features an all-suite layout is part of a gorgeous old building that dates back to the 19th century. On this quiet street in a neighborhood renowned for its old-world charm, leave your car in a dedicated parking space and get around entirely on foot.

The historic Old Port is a few minutes away by car. Many of Portland's tastiest restaurants, the Western Promenade overlooking the Fore River, and Commercial Street are within a 15-minute walk. Indulge your creative side at the Portland Museum of Art or the Maine College of Art (under a 10-minute walk). Relax at the Nine Stones Spa, then try one of the many breweries or bars as the evening approaches for a refreshing drink. For an even more scenic way to view Portland, take a ride on the Casco Bay ferry.

While the building dates back to the late 1800s, the condo was thoughtfully redesigned in 2014 to give it a bright, airy, and modern feel. Throughout the space you'll find hardwood floors, oversize windows, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry in the kitchen and in two private bathrooms. The modern heat pump system for heating and cooling ensures you'll always have your ideal temperature available to you.

After a day spent trying some of the best restaurants in New England, come home to a polished living room with a TV providing local and national TV, a well-equipped kitchen, and such home conveniences as a stacked washer/dryer and complimentary high-speed WiFi. Each bedroom has its own TV (with local and national TV), an en suite bathroom sporting tiled showers with frameless shower doors, and remote-controlled AC, giving everyone privacy and comfort.

Very stylish conveniently located
This condo is well appointed and comfy. The two bedrooms are at opposite ends of home providing great privacy for two couples. The bathrooms are especially nice and the shower is great. Kitchen well appointed and is supplied with all you need for a short stay. Home is conveniently located and close to restaurants and conveniences.

Nice but COLD
The apartment is spacious, clean, and well equipped. Kitchen is well supplied with all appliances and cookware; lots of bedding in bedroom. Good internet, good showers, three TVs. The West End location is very nice and convenient. Unfortunately our stay was somewhat ruined by the lack of any type of heating in the living room. Even if we blasted the wall units in the bedrooms, the living room did not heat up at all. It would be a very easy fix for the owners to install a wall heating unit in the living room. Please do this for the comfort of guests between the months of October and April.

Great location
We stayed with our son and daughter in law and had a great time. We could walk to most locations and also had off street parking. Comfortable, convenient and quiet. Someone needs to plug in the stove/oven though.

Easy access to everything
The condo’s location is pretty central to everything. The parking was a learned experience but once we figured it out- it work quite well. The condo is basically two master suites- plenty of room.

First choice for Portland!
This place was awesome, very clean on a quiet street in an area of historic homes. The two ensuite layout proved great for the 3 of us providing a nice layout with privacy as each ensuite is separated by the living space. This would be my first choice next time I come to Portland.

Easy location and perfect for a group
Stayed with as a group made up of 2 couples. The 2 masters were perfect. Everything was clean and exactly as expected. Easy location to get downtown. Only complaint is parking. It’s nearly impossible when the front 2 units are occupied. I wouldn’t use that as a reason to not stay here though! Just be prepared to play parking Tetris.

Would highly recommend!
Our stay was incredible, this location was a comfortable walk to the old port and the congress street eateries. Photos of the unit are nice but in actuality the place is even nicer. This is a historic home that was rebuilt with everything you could ask for. Thanks for making this available. I'll be back soon I hope.

Fall get away
Most things were wonderful! I do have 3 suggestions 1- it is very cold in there! We had the bedroom heaters on, but the main room was ice cold!! We couldn’t figure out why a home in the northeast had such poor heating. We did find a small space heater hidden in a cabinet on our 2nd night, but it was still cold. 2 - why a window between the bathrooms and the bedrooms? In the middle of the night, everyone is awake when someone turns the light on to go to the bathroom. Have you thought of a blind? Curtain? To block some of that light? 3- the coffee pot. The carafe does not fit the pot. The maker was obviously made with a thermos carafe because as soon as the coffee is made, the whole thing turns off. 30 minutes later, the entire pot is freezing- especially considering that the place is cold already.

Nice place to stay, would have liked more info about neighborhood highlights
This is a well-maintained, attractive place with a great layout for two couples, because there are two bathrooms and privacy. The house was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The neighborhood is full of interesting older homes. It wasn't as close to key places as I expected from the description. What would have been so nice and added a personal touch would have been a tourist map and notes about local places to eat, favorite places to visit, best routes to get downtown, etc. That personal touch from an owner is one thing I really appreciate about rental homes vs. a hotel. .

Parking issue
The location and the property were great. This is the 2nd time we stayed here and it did not disappoint. Last time we were on the 4th floor-this time the 3rd. Noise from people above was quite loud-no parties, just normal activities. Parking was the drawback. We were to have the last spot but the person next door parked their car across from that spot and it was impossible to get in or out. The car parked behind us was a Jaguar SUV which did not help. Had to find parking elsewhere which as you know is not easy. Didn't know if they were supposed to be parking there but if they are you really can't claim there is a parking spot for unit 3 especially if there is someone in unit 3.

Portland Weekend Get Away!
Wonderful location on the West End, apartment #3 is on the first floor rear, quiet and charming. Two ensuites gave us privacy, and the open living and kitchen area was comfortable for watching tv and making breakfast! Kitchen well equipped! Bed was very comfortable! Good outdoor lighting and parking right outside our door. Easy walk to Congress Street, Museum, and restaurants. Cross Arena is an easy walk, great hockey game! Old Port area easy access for walking! We felt safe and comfortable around Portland and enjoyed the oysters, lobster rolls, and a few of the outstanding restaurants. This apartment is very comfortable and we definitely will want to stay here again! Portland has much to offer and this apartment for us perfectly, thank you!

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Terrible
My overall experience was very negative. The unit had a failed and flagged circuit breaker. I had no power to the kitchen. I had no refrigerator,stove, appliances. I had to throw out the food I brought in when I arrived. I placed 7 phone calls. Every time I was assured of help and a call back on the progress. The unit also had a bug infestation. I NEVER got a call back I NEVER got any assistance. I had no kitchen the entire 7 days I stayed there. Vacasa lied and took my money. You did not give me the product I paid for. Vacasa is unethical and doesn't care about their customers.

Great condo!
The condo was really clean and decently close to downtown. 15 minute walk to most places. Parking is very right and being in the far back space was tricky getting in and out but it worked! Nice touches with upgraded appliances. Overall experience was great!
