"We had such a wonderful stay at Market Square Inn for our girls’ trip! The location could not have been better,?right in the heart of downtown Portsmouth and within walking distance of the waterfront, Prescott Park, Strawbery Banke, and so many great restaurants, cafés, and shops. The place was very clean, comfortable and exactly what we needed. Check-in was incredibly easy and seamless, which made our arrival stress-free.

Music City Vibe ~ Luxe ~ PVT Deck ~ DWTN ~ <2min to MKT SQ

10/10 Excellent

"Darryl's place was perfect! The unit was literally steps from everything in Portsmouth, but it was very quiet and meticulously kept. The space was in excellent condition and even larger than the photos might suggest. The top floor master suite with rooftop deck was stunning, and the main floor was well appointed and very clean. The secure, attached garage parking made entry and exit a breeze, and communication with Darryl was top notch. We were visiting with our two teen daughters, and everyone had plenty of privacy and lots of great gathering spots. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

Historic Downtown Water-view Loft on Ceres Street

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property in the heart of it all. Loved the location, loved the apartment and amenities (amazing tea!!) and wonderful communications and responsiveness from our host Joy! Thank you so much for a fabulous stay."
