The Globe House on Munjoy Hill - Walk to Breweries

A fun, modern, cozy apartment sitting on top of Munjoy Hill on North Street. Enjoy some of the best views in the city facing southwest to downtown, the Back Cove, with the White Mountains in the background, and stunning sunsets. The apartment is part of a two-unit home that we own and occupy. Enjoy the sunny backyard overflowing with flowers, hops, apples and grapes. We are a 2-minute walk to Washington Avenue, where there are a number of amazing restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries and hip stores. We are an 8-minute walk to the East Bayside brewery area.

Our home was built in 1876. It is one of the oldest homes on the hill. We bought the house in 2010 and have renovated it. We are a family of four living upstairs. We are an international family. I am from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and my wife is from Lisbon, Portugal. We love to travel the world seeking adventure and sun in the winter. We are very passionate about surfing, skiing, mountain biking, beer, food and Portland, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask us.

We made the apartment a fun blend of the historic nature of the home with modern touches and artwork we have picked up while traveling the globe. My wife Rita from Portugal speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian for those travelers preferring to communicate in these languages. We truly hope you have a wonderful stay in our little oasis on the hill.

Please note that our two-bedroom set up is “railroad style”, so you go through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom. This is a common and authentic style of building in the 1800s. This setup is great for families with kids, but we will defer to you to decide if it is comfortable for two couples seeking privacy. As a solution. we have a sectional sofa that converts to a queen size bed in the living room. This is not a traditional pullout with uncomfortable bars in the middle, instead if feels like an actual mattress. We have a super soft topper for it to make it even cozier. The living room has window curtains that can be closed for privacy for those sleeping on the converted sofa.

A great spot in a great city!
The photos drew us in, and the reality did not disappoint! Great location, easy parking and close to two bus lanes. 7 minute walk to watch the sunrise, bagels 4 minutes away.

Perfect spot
The Globe House was the perfect spot for our friends gathering. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with many thoughtful amenities. Rita made sure we had everything we needed and the book in the apartment had great recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. Would definitely book again when in Portland.

Friends Trip to Portland
Artfully decorated and located walking distance to restaurants and parks. This was the perfect place for me and friends to visit around the table, watch a hockey game on TV, walk to restaurants, heat up take out, and was close to site seeing museums and light houses. The host was quickly available for suggestions. Check in and out was simple.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Very nice and clean apartment but listing is misleading
We very much enjoyed our stay. Great location, extremely clean, and great hosts. However, the listing is misleading, there is no access to rooftop patio or the back yard. So there is no view of sunsets or even of Casco Bay. This was definitely one of the major selling points and a bummer when we checked in.

Wonderful experience
We had a great stay at Ryan and Rita’s home. The neighborhood was great, a short walk to cafes, bars, restaurants and the beautiful eastern promenade. The home was very nice and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Our hosts gave great local recommendations and were wonderful with communication. Thank you for a great stay!

Fantastic location and home
This rental was clean, bright and fun. It worked well for our family if 5, which is often hard to find. We enjoyed being able to walk so many places, but also being able to park right out front on the road.

Terrific trip
Portland is a super fun and funky place, and our stay here was the same! The Globe House was the perfect place to take in all that Portland has to offer. We walked everywhere! Owners were super responsive and their booklet of ideas and suggestions had something for everyone. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. We really enjoyed the beautiful home and our stay in Portland.

Fantastic stay
We had an amazing stay at the Globe House. The space is beautiful and bright and beautifully appointed. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything was very comfortable. Great for kids. Pull out couch in the living room was super comfortable. And the location of this home cannot be beat. Walkable to lots of great restaurants. Great but peaceful neighborhood. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Home away from home!
Globe House was the perfect home base for our family of four in town for a Labor Day weekend wedding. The location was great and the apartment was impeccably clean, the kitchen well appointed, and the entire space artfully decorated. Our hosts Ryan and Rita were welcoming and responsive. They thought of all the little things to make us feel at home, including a chilled bottle of wine that awaited us upon arrival and everything we needed for morning coffee!

All the crunchy comforts of home
Loved our stay in this compact, joyfully decorated first floor flat on Munjoy Hill. The view through the bedroom windows is stunning. The kitchen has just the right mix of equipment, the living room is cozy for family hangouts, and communication with our hosts was top-notch. We will be back!

End of Summer Getaway
The apartment owners set us up for success with our 20mo old!!! We did not have to pack the necessary items needed when traveling with a child. The location is wonderful and walkable to many shops, restaurants, and parks! Also, the apartment is inviting and stylish and offered much more room than any hotel in the area!

Top of the Hill
Ryan and Rita are wonderful, attentive hosts with a wealth of information about the Portland area. The apartment is everything it appears to be in the online photos, light, spacious and airy with a Mediterranean feel. The art is tasteful, the kitchen is user friendly and the beds are very comfortable. We have stayed on Munjoy Hill several times and this is our new favorite place to stay. The surrounding area continues to grow in a nice way with new restaurants and friendly locals. Thanks for the garden goodies and the flowers!
