The space
Spacious, Clean, Charming 3-Bedroom, 3-Bath Townhome in Historic Little Italy, Next Door to Omaha’s Famed Old Market.
You can’t beat this anywhere downtown. It’s the best of both worlds: a quiet and relaxing oasis near all the downtown action. You will love the fully-furnished comfort and repose of my quiet, comfortable, luxurious 1780 square foot townhome, which comes with high-speed cable and wireless, DVR, full kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, range, refrigerator and freezer, dining room, living room with high-end sofa, tall ceilings, three full bedrooms (five rooms in total), three full bathrooms (one with bath, all three with shower), a sweet porch with two outdoor chairs, your own attached one-car garage, washer and dryer, maple hardwood floors, maple cabinet, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, refrigerator, central heat, air conditioning, towels, linens, hairdryer, a full supply of cooking and eating utensils, coffee-maker, tea kettle, toaster, filtered water, all in an open, clean and refreshing space, with absolutely amazing neighbors.
My home is only a ten-minute walk (2 minutes by car) from Little Bohemia (Archetype Coffee, Barcade, Fizzy's and more) and the impressive galleries, bars, restaurants, boutique shops, architecture, and cobbled streets of the Old Market National Historic District (whose highlights include The Boiler Room, Le Boullion, La Buvette, V. Mertz, Blue Sushi, M’s Pub, and Jackson Street Booksellers). Moreover, within a few short blocks of my home, you not only have the Con Agra campus and Durham Museum, but you also have the sundry landmarks of Little Italy (Orsi’s Italian Bakery, Cascio’s Italian Restaurant, St. Francis Cabrini Church, Santa Lucia Hall, and the Sons of Italy Hall). Also nearby are the Omaha Rail and Commerce Historic District, Dahlman Park, yoga studios, massage, several groovy cafes, plus incredible views high above the mighty Missouri River.
Within a 15-minute stroll north you are at "The Link," a.k.a. the Century Link Center (home of great concerts, the annual Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting, and the nationally ranked Creighton Bluejays college basketball team), Ameritrade Stadium (home of the annual College World Series), Slowdown (a club co-owned by Omaha’s own Conor Oberst of the band Bright Eyes and Saddle Creek Records), Film Streams (which shows excellent retrospectives, plus indie works), the Holland Performing Arts Center, Kaneko, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, bike trails, parks, and more. And within a 3-minute drive to the south, you are at ther Admiral Theatre--formerly the Sokol Auditorium (where all manner of cutting-edge rock bands perform) and the Omaha Botanical Gardens. Within a five-minute drive south you are at Interstate I-80, which will take you quickly to all parts of Omaha and nearby Council Bluffs (including casinos, Lake Manawa, and more). Within a seven-minute drive to the south, you are at the world-renowned Henry Doorly Zoo. Within a 7-minute drive to the north, you are at Creighton University. Within a seven-minute drive to the west you are in Midtown Crossing (with vegan hot spot, Modern Love) and then the Blackstone District (home of the Cottonwood Hotel and much more), and a 12-minute drive to the west, you are the University of Nebraska Medical Center and UNO.
And to top it all, you are only a 12-minute car, cab, or Uber ride from the Airport.
This pet-free, nonsmoking, drug-free oasis is also near all manner of easy public transportation (there’s a bus line a few blocks away on Dodge; and there are plans to build a trolley right up nearby 10th St.). Parking is free all around the neighborhood, which is safe, evocative, and beyond cool.
I’ve been a successful Airbnb host for many years, starting in NYC and now in Omaha. I know what guests want. And I go out of my way to ensure that their visit is beyond compare.
If you or someone you know is clean, quiet, and highly responsible, and looking for a pristine place to stay in the heart of Omaha, please send name, phone number, the precise number of people in your party, and two references. And please make sure to fill out your Airbnb profile before booking. This will speed acceptance of your reservation.
Thank you!
Guest access
Top secret access. No worries. You get upon booking.
Other things to note
I prefer a two-guest minimum and a ten-guest maximum, though I am open to other arrangements. Just let me know, and we can usually work something out. That said, no bachelor or bachelorette parties. No big shindigs. This is a tranquil neighborhood. Ten people max. You can fit two people in each of the two upstairs beds. Another two people can sleep on the vast, long L-shaped living room couch. Four people (two each) can sleep on the downstairs bedroom's two beds (one a futon couch). I also have a full-sized bed in the storage room (not pictured) and a futon mattress, too, if you want to bring it upstairs or have two kids sleep in there (which could get it to 12, though I prefer 10).
