A little piece of Paradise in New England

I traveled to Portsmouth with my adult daughter for some much needed girl time. This property was in the perfect location in beautiful Portsmouth. The apartment is lovely and the beds very comfortable. The host was amazing and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely stay here during my next visit to Portsmouth.

We enjoyed the Downtown Escape in Portsmouth. The cleanliness and comfort in addition to the ease of check in/out with our host Darryl. We were conveniently located to all that Portsmouth has to offer from the beautiful seaport to the many fine restaurants and shops. Portsmouth is a walkable city with much to see and do and we easily got our exercise in outdoors with the beautiful summer-like weather we had in October. We felt very safe and comfortable here and the locals were very open and friendly. We would highly recommend this place to stay and visit Portsmouth.

Darryl’s place in Portsmouth is lovely. Two of us stayed there, one in the bedroom and the other on the futon, both very comfortable; and, with two bathrooms it was pretty luxurious compared to having to share one hotel room as an alternative. The apartment was spotless, well-equipped and so easy to walk out the front door to roam around Portsmouth on foot. Plus, his place offers not only a great place to sleep and get to know the town but also is very welcoming when you return and just want to put your feet up and relax. What really added to our trip was Darryl himself. There’s an informative notebook left in the apartment; and, if you had any questions, he responded quickly both before and during our stay.Two suggestions: bring slippers as he doesn’t want outdoor shoes tracking in mud, etc. (which we totally understand) and bring an eye sleeping mask if upstairs on the futon as no curtains on window or skylight. The only downside was the loud music played nightly at the bar next door. Ear plugs are strongly recommended.

Great stay! Location couldn't have been better. We had everything we needed & as advertised. The deck was a bonus. It was great to relax out there after walking around all day. We dropped out bags off first and then parked in the free lot which was just a few minutes walk away. Definitely would stay here again the next time we visit.
