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.
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!)

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.
