Quiet Downtown 2BR Oasis - “The Nomad”

Your classic Portland home away from home is a lovingly restored 1800s Queen Anne Victorian style 3-story home conveniently located a short walking distance from Portland's Old Port shopping district, Maine Medical Center, multiple sporting venues, and dozens of fabulous restaurants. You have the entire first-floor apartment to yourself, with 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a fully equipped eat-in kitchen. There is shared laundry in the basement, high-speed fiber-optic, and free on-street parking.

Rich established gardens and an original stained glass entryway welcome you to your clean, comfortable, and charming space.
The lovely, light-filled bedrooms feature top quality LLBean bedding and cozy Pendleton wool blankets. There is a comfortable living room highlighted by gorgeous Italian leather chairs, as well as additional seating in the light-filled turret, and a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen.
The apartment offers two Roku TVs with multiple streaming subscriptions, a Bose bluetooth speaker, and a heat pump to keep the space toasty warm in the winter and comfortably cool in the summer, all while limiting environmental impact.
Many original features are retained, from the turrets, stained glass, and high ceilings, to the original trim and wainscoting, and charming full bath with porcelain clawfoot tub.
Sustainable soaps and lotions from Grove Collaborative will keep you clean and comfortable while supporting an environmentally friendly local business.
The fully equipped kitchen - with everything from sharp knives to baking equipment - allows you to take full advantage of the short walk to the weekend Farmer's Market. An espresso machine and coffee grinder for a fresh grind of Coffee by Design beans is another local treat.

Parking is on street, which is free and unlimited throughout our neighborhood, but can be harder to find late at night. On site parking in our driveway can typically be made available at an additional charge.

You'll have the whole first floor to yourself, with private access to two bedrooms, one full bath, and a full kitchen. There is shared laundry in the basement, as well as a shared outdoor patio with grill and seating for seasonal use.

We are available and responsive leading up to and throughout your stay. We give our guests privacy, but can be reached at all times through the Airbnb app or by phone.

Portland's Parkside neighborhood is any easy walking distance to Portland's Old Port shops and restaurants, local sporting events, and the weekend Farmer's Market in Deering Oaks Park.
It's hard to find a more convenient location if you're in town for work at the hospital or for medical care. Being 0.3 miles to the main campus allows for respite in a quiet, comfortable space with quick and easy access to the hospital when needed.

There is unlimited free on-street parking if you prefer to leave your car and walk during your stay. Local bus and regional rail service are complemented by Lyft and Uber, and the Portland Jetport offers daily domestic and international flights.

As noted, parking can be harder to find later in the day. There is a paid lot nearby and we can typically offer an on site spot for $40/night. Also, space is a little tight in the bathroom. Width around the toilet is just a little more wide than a toilet. Also the tub is claw foot so requires stepping in and out.
