Our place has a country feel while being close to the action. This comfortable and u ! nique apartment has a separate entrance, free parking, and great views of the Maine sky. There are horses across the street, a friendly cat, and lots of flowers. You will see us coming and going in our driveway, as we are active people and love our projects. Sunny, comfortable, eclectic, and lots of books. Great views of the sky and super quiet. Rural setting but close to everything you'd want or need. You should know that the road in front of our house is entirely quiet because it's one of those winding country roads that people love to drive fast on, so our place does not have a secluded feel to it-- unless you're in the back yard or sitting on our back porch. Guests have the apartment (which has a separate entrance) entirely to themselves. Access to the backyard and back porch. If you need a load of laundry done, just ask. While there isn't a washer and dryer on the premises, we're happy to run a load for you. You can text us through the Airbnb message app, or just knock on the door. We're happy to attend to any concerns you might have in a hands-on fashion. That said, if you're an introvert who is in need of some quiet time, we'll leave you alone! We get it. We live in a rural neighborhood in Scarborough, near some small subdivisions down side road, but mostly amid two+ acre lots just up the road from Flaherty's Farm, where they sell live lobsters and fresh vegetables. Even though we're just a 3 - 6 miles from everything (groceries, mall, beaches, Portland, airport) it feels like being in the country. Scarborough is rural. There are trails and beaches to walk on, but we otherwise get everywhere by car. Parking is easy wherever you go (with the exception of Higgins Beach, where I suggest you find the public parking lot, as parking by the beach can be difficult). Parking parking? That's a different matter. On weekend evenings, that requires patience and persistence. This is a two-floor apartment with a private entrance. We have a very comfortable queen-sized sleeper sofa on the first floor. As such, three can stay in the apartment comfortably, and couples who like to travel together (and save money) can definitely make this space work and get a good night's sleep. The upper floor has a large and sunny bedroom with a king-sized bed, a full bathroom, and a sunroom. There are televisions on both floors. There's also the sunroom, which is a nice and private space for reading, taking on the phone, meditating, etc. We want you to be comfortable. If you have any questions about whether our space is a good fit for you, don't hesitate to reach out. Please remove shoes once you've entered the apartment. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the condo: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![1 bedroom, in-room safe, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106750000/106745800/106745780/772548d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy and Quiet Home One Bedroom Private Bathroom in Portland Maine.
