I’ve stayed this property before and it’s perfectly located. Lots of food around, good coffee (guv cup). There was a minor issue with some construction that was going on right outside the apartment. By no means the property managers fault. The city had provided incorrect dates for the construction. Angela was very communicative and accommodating and all was fine in the end. Great place and I’ll stay again

This apartment is so cute and comfortable and located in historic downtown Salem. We had the best time exploring nearby shops and coffeehouses and walking to attractions like Riverfront Park and the state capitol building. The apartment had wonderful touches like Beekman 1802 toiletries and luxurious bed linens. We slept great! Host was very kind and responsive when we reached out with a question. Highly recommend!

Sharon if you want to stay here again why would you give it a four star review, I am completely confused? You have given me no indication or information of why you would not give it a five star review especially if you want to return.

A comfortable getaway

This was a place close to the hospital where my husband and I could rest while our premie daughter was in NICU. It was comfortable and had everything we needed.

The apartment was so clean and comfortable. The beds and heated toilet seat were fantastic. It is so close to the park and variety of restaurants. I walked everywhere. The park has a great walking trail. There were great shops nearby ( a fantastic bookstore). The free parking is nearby. The hosts were wonderful. I am seventy-two and the stairs (about 25) leading up to the apartment were no problem because they have rails on both sides (and I packed 2 small suitcases). I would definitely stay there again. One of my favorite VRBO stays.

The property is a nice small two bedroom apartment. A lot of very nice restaurants are within a block or so. There is a nice riverside park two blocks away.
