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.

Great location and a lovely, welcoming place
The Globe House was a wonderful Plato spend a couple of days while exploring Portland. The house itself was immaculate and well appointed, with extra touches that put it a step above: the fresh scent from a diffuser welcomed us, a complimentary bottle of wine awaited us in the refrigerator, and luxe amenities like L’Occitane moisturizer were provided. Great location with easily walkable and excellent restaurants. Our hosts left a fabulous “guide to Portland” for us, with many of their favorite personal recommendations. Overall, a very positive experience! Would highly recommend!

We had an excellent stay at The Globe House. The property was clean and just as advertised. The hosts were welcoming and incredibly responsive. They went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our 7 month old that was traveling with us (provided a pack 'n play, high chair, toys, etc.). Would stay again without hesitation. Would highly recommend to anyone.

What a beautiful home!
We totally enjoyed our stay at Rita’s lovely main floor Portland apartment! There were nice restaurants within walking distance and parking on the street was a breeze. The apartment itself was extremely clean and well stocked. Be aware that it has a railroad plan meaning you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom. This was stated in Rita’s paperwork but we did not read it until we were close to arriving. We would highly recommend this home.

Loved every minute of our stay at the globe house. Ryan and Rita are great people and the property is gorgeous inside and out. So close to so many breweries and eats. Thank you for the beer and conversation. Just remember the skunk in the park up the street. Nice views at night.

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.

Just up the hill.
Lovely little neighborhood, 2.5 blocks from Belleville Bakery and the Portland Observatory. ½ block from a park with a sunset view, though you can see it from the back yard, too. Easy walk to the dock where a bunch of boats launch, including Lucky Catch lobstering expeditions, which was a highlight. Rita & Ryan were extremely accommodating and helpful. Their place is hip without being too cool, and the back yard is great for coffee in the morning and/or a drink in the evening.

Artfully decorated and located walking distance to restaurants and parks.
