Overall our stay was good and the host was great in terms of communication and friendliness. There is a lot of space and plenty of extra blankets, pillows, etc. I was a bit disappointed in the (lack of) cleanliness and a few of the lights and main living room TV not working (we suspected that it could just be a faulty extension cord) given the price of our stay, but I would consider staying there again if traveling in this area. A good deep clean would really elevate this property as a rental, but we really appreciated the kitchen and laundry amenities. Thanks for the stay!

Wonderful Accomodations

The accomodations at this home were excellent! It was comfortable, clean, and spacious. It is located in the historic district of Portsmouth and so convienent to walk to different locations. There was a farmer's market in town the weekend we were there which we walked to. The easy and prompt communication with the owner made us feel at ease leading up to the date of our stay. The owners were so kind and even left a graduation card and gift for our daughter graduating from law school. I would highly recommend this place!
