You need to place your downloaded maps in
C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/maps/
or C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/maps/ if you're using a 64-bits windows.
Then start portal 2 via steam, open the console by pressing the ` button.
(if this doesn't open the console go to settings -> keyboard -> enable console)
Then type in the console map <mapname> and hit [Enter]
<mapname> should be the name of the map so for example:
map sp_enrichment_1
hope that helped

You have to go to advanced options to find the enable console option, also.
<mapname> should be the name of the map so for example:
map sp_enrichment_1
you cant have spaces or ` in the map name either, i found out. (appostraphese? I never knew how to spell them.)
