Highly recommend for an in-town location. The place was as clean as could be, very welcoming, very comfortable. Having a parking spot right outside the back door was so convenient. As a solo female I felt very comfortable there. Everything in downtown Portsmouth was easily walkable from here. On a Friday night it was a bit noisier from the living room (what you would expect downtown), but quiet in the bedroom. Darryl was so easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. One of my best Airbnb experiences! Thanks Darryl!

This is a great spot with a great host! In the heart of downtown, a great location with everything in very close proximity. Will definitely be back in the future!

This gorgeous apartment was exactly as described and it was spotless! Additionally, even though I thought perhaps there may have been street noise, the bedroom is at the back of the apartment and it was silent all night. The location is amazing - mere steps from delicious food (Mexican, Italian, seafood, American tapas, hot pot…) and great shopping (make sure you visit Pickwick’s)! We especially appreciated the incredibly detailed description of where to park (with pictures). I’ve never had a host provide this and it was so helpful when navigating one way streets and busy traffic. This was the perfect pick for celebrating our 25th anniversary in our favorite city!

This was an excellent location. Walking distances all places downtown! The space was very clean and perfectly matched the description and photos. Darryl was so nice and responsive. He gave great dinner recommendations! Would definitely stay again.
