Spend your vacation, work-trip, or weekend getaway in our lovely, downtown apartment. Apartment 3 is located on the third floor where you have access to all our modern appliances: refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer combo unit. We have a luxurious shower, a queen bed in the bedroom, and a pull-out couch with a queen mattress in the living room. Both the bedroom and living room have large, flat-screen TVs and in the living room you will find a luxurious leather loveseat. Guests can use the entire apartment, including our washer/dryer, fully appointed living room and bedroom. Both TVs are connected to a guest Netflix account. Pots, pans, basic dishes, utensils, and cookware are provided in the cabinets and drawers. We are generally both out of town but will be very accessible through our personal cellphones and the Airbnb app. Our third floor apartment is located in the historic Parkside neighborhood of Portland. Portland is full of wonderful parks and green spaces in fact, we are located right around the block from the beautiful Deering Oaks Park where they hold a Saturday Farmer's Market during the summer and a short distance from the beautiful Eastern Promenade. We are a short walk away from the Old Port where there is an abundance of unique local bars, restaurants, pubs, and breweries as well as antique shops, thrift stores, theaters, and concert venues. The State Theatre, Port City Music Hall, and Thompson's Point hold great shows throughout the year. The Nickelodeon movie theater in downtown Portland has $5 shows on Tuesdays! In terms of food, it is hard NOT to find a restaurant in Portland that is not farm-to-table and locally grown and there are so many types of international cuisine to try during your time here. Wake up and grab a donut from the famous Holy Donut right down the street. Grab some brunch from Bayside American Cafe just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. There are so many options for food including vegan and vegetarian options, please let us know if you'd like additional suggestions. We are just a few blocks away from Maine Medical Center, so if you have an interview or important event, this is the perfect spot to stay. Take a day trip to one of the many beautiful islands in the Casco Bay from the ferry terminal located only a 25 minute walk from the apartment! Catch a baseball game during the summer months at the Portland Sea Dogs baseball stadium located just a few blocks away. Trader Joe's, Hannaford, Whole Foods, and Shaw's are just a 5-10 minute drive. Here are our personal favorites if you'd like some food/drink suggestions: Coffeeshop/Bakery: Holy Donut, Tandem Coffee, Arabica, Coffee ME Up Breakfast/Brunch: Bayside American Cafe, Becky's Diner, Hot Suppa (Southern food, always a huge line) Quick Bites: Poké Pop, Kamasouptra, Otto Pizza, BRGR Bar (get an adult milkshake!) Dinner: Local 188, Boda (go for late night specials!), Vignola's, El Corazón, Flatbread's (on the water), Hi Bombay, Green Elephant (100% vegetarian Thai restaurant) Desert: Gelato Fiasco Bars: Blyth & Burrows (mixology, unique cocktails), Portland Hunt & Alpine Club (great cocktail bar) Breweries: Bissell Brothers Brewing Company, Urban Farm Fermentory (awesome kombucha & ciders), Rising Tide Everything in the downtown Portland/Old Port area is walkable, but Ubers are relatively cheap and you should be able to go anywhere on the peninsula for about $6. The metro also has several stops nearby where you can access the Maine Mall, the Jetport, Old Orchard Beach, and many other locations. We are located only 5 minutes driving from the Greyhound Station, Amtrak Station, and Concord Coach Lines and about 15 minutes from Portland International Jetport. No more than 4 guests total. There is only one queen bed and a queen pull out couch guests can stay on, so this seems reasonable. Please realize that many things are subject to change. Pipes can sometimes freeze and need to be thawed, requiring a plumber to come out. You must realize that this is a home, with all of the vicissitudes of a house built over a century ago! Last warning of note: I am, unfortunately, NOT a tech expert. If the Netflix, or Hulu or interweb or ANYTHING like that are not working, I will not be able to fix it remotely. If you get to the house and there is ANYTHING wrong at all, please let me know asap! I always want your stay to be happy and pleasant!
