    What's special

    Private fenced-in yard space
    Enjoy this historic and pet-friendly gem in Portland's Munjoy Hill neighborhood! With a fully equipped kitchen and your own private, fenced-in yard space, you'll barely need to leave this quiet sanctuary! If you are inspired to head out on the town, the neighborhood is filled with incredible bars and restaurants. With the ocean and the Eastern Promenade just 3 blocks away, enjoy the food trucks all summer long and catch the sun setting over the sailboats, or grab some fresh produce down the street at Portland Food Co-op, and a nightcap at Low Key. The unit has been freshly painted in Farrow & Ball, and comes fully furnished with everything included. Minimum 30-day lease required, but flexible after that! Owners live on site and are very responsive to needs, and public transit is a mere block away! Owner covers all utilities. Dogs welcome on a case by case basis and come with a refundable pet deposit of $100 (owners have three (very dog-friendly) dogs of their own). No smoking allowed indoors but marijuana use is a-okay. Lease must be a minimum of 30 days, with a security deposit, and is totally flexible beyond that. Free street parking. Space is available from Jan 2026 through either March or April.
