Portland, Maine Home

Nice place with everything you need in it. Close to downtown but not too close. We had a great stay here and used the hot tub which was nice after walking all day.

About the host

Hosted by Dave F.

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Dave. I am a writer, musician and part-time college professor. I split my time between my home state of California and Maine - my other favorite state. I have rental properties in Portland, ME and Monson, ME (near Moosehead Lake) as well as Huntington Beach, CA. I've lived all my life in California but spent many memorable summers in Maine at our family camp in Monson.

Why they chose this property

The Oakdale neighborhood is one of the most popular in Portland because of it's close proximity to downtown coupled with its quiet neighborhood feel away from the tourist crowds. I love it because of the peace of mind knowing that I am staying in a safe and clean area but still just a five minute Uber ride to everything Portland has to offer in the downtown and Old Port areas.. Also, this area is sprinkled with some of the city's best restaurants, pubs and cafes which are less traveled by tourists so they are often much easier to get reservations and a more relaxing experience. The property is just a few blocks away from the iconic Back Cove trail, which follows Baxter Boulevard all the way around Portland's beautiful interior bay. I love walking the trail and soaking in the city skyline at Sunset, which offers one of the most beautiful views of the city.

What makes this property unique

Based on my reviews, I would say that the most unique thing about my property is the hot tub which is pretty rare in Portland. There's nothing better than a nice hot soak in the hot tub after a long day of sightseeing. Also, people love the original artwork inside the property and the unique floor plan.
