Lovely stay and very convenient! Make note that several rooms are upstairs which requires going up a tight steep staircase. A little tricky for someone with bad knees and carrying a suitcase.

Walkable, adorable stay
Adorable, centrally located place in Portsmouth. The doors are all key codes, so we got a text saying our room was ready before check in. Our code wasn’t working, so I called and they helped us out right away. Our room was adorable with a comfortable king sized bed. No fridge or anything in the room, but there was a communal fridge downstairs with juice and snacks available. The Sailmaker’s House was centrally located, so didn’t spend a lot of time in the room because we were walking all around Portsmouth. Very walkable!
