We don't have Nxstage in Canada but we do have pretty good home hemo programs and I found that to be a good option for me many years ago.  Of course you can't travel with the machine but at least there's a lot more flexibility than in-centre.

Have you asked the building owner Fluffy or are you assuming they won't allow it?  I was surprised that my landlords (3 different ones) were very understanding and let me modify things no problem.
