The place had warm colors and felt very welcoming. The bathroom was large and the shower was great and had shampoo and nice soap. Not the place if you plan to cook, but had an air fryer and microwave. I asked the host for an outdoor chair and she responded immediately. Overall great place and value for the money. I would stay here again.

The room was clean, with plenty of fresh towels. It was a good place for me, as I was close to the events for which I came to Oregon. The motion activated lighting to get down to the cute rooms was much appreciated. The view from the glass doors was so beautiful. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

There is a picture that looks outOver a view. Doesn’t exist. The access to the property is treacherous. No hand rails and uneven ground. I fell twice. Inside the studio there is a slope in the floor. These issues need to be fixed before they open to anyon else. Would never go back. The hosts areLovely

However, we would like to clarify that the photos shown in our listing are actual photos of the property and clearly show the outdoor access and walkway leading to the studio. Our listing also specifically states that the property is not handicap accessible, so guests are able to review this information and the photos before choosing to book. We always do our best to accurately represent our studio and would never intentionally mislead a guest about the property or its access. We appreciate your concerns and will continue to review the property for any improvements that may help make our guests’ stays more comfortable and safe. We’re sorry the studio did not meet your personal needs, but we appreciate you staying with us and wish you safe travels.

Thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that access to the unit felt challenging. We do include photos of the walkway in our listing to help set clear expectations, and we note that the property may not be suitable for guests who require wheelchair accessibility. That said, we understand that mobility needs can vary, and we’re sorry for any discomfort this may have caused. Regarding the towels, additional towels and washcloths are available in the cupboard to the left of the sink—we apologize if this wasn’t clearly communicated during your stay. As for the soap, we provide full-size soap for our guests and replace it regularly; however, if it appears low or is running out, we’re always happy to provide a new one upon request. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again for a better experience.

Bring earplugs

This is a small basement apartment, below a house. The apartment is well done, and cozy. There are two major factors that made me rate this as less than ideal. First, there’s not seem to be any soundproofing, and so I could hear every single word and step of the people living upstairs. There was lots of yelling, and at one point it seemed as if people were exercising or dancing, it was very loud. Second, although it is advertised as having central air and heat, but that is not true. The temperature in the apartment is controlled by the host, and the guest has no control over that. It was extremely hot when I was in the house. Although the pictures suggest this is a little place in the country, it is actually a house in a suburban neighborhood.

Sorry u were having a bad experience from Staying at my place, however, it is a basement studio as it has advertised in the listing, their will be some noise but we respect our guess n would not have dance n yell as u have stated in the review. I realize u have had a horrible travel Experience before u even came to town n I have done my best to accommodate you in every way. Change ur check in date, even advise u in how to get around because u have realize ur license has expired when u landed at the airport , adjust the thermostat for Ur comfort even if we r uncomfortable. You said it’s not cold enough we offer u an extra fan n yet u refuse. I have extra heating n cooling option for guess if they needed. I hope u will find a more accommodating place for ur travel next time.

Decent stay

Overall the place is quaint. It's in the basement of a house so you hear the people walking, running above you but not too much conversation. The neighborhood is quiet. Not sure it was worth the price I paid but it was comfortable and met our needs. There's a washer and dryer in the unit but they aren't plugged in. I liked that they supplied the fridge and some cups, forks and coffee but since the flooring is carpeted I worried about making anything or prepping food for fear of dropping stuff so we mostly ate out. You don't have control of the heat or AC but I felt it was comfortable enough. I was a bit cold at night and early morning but there was an extra blanket and under the covers it was comfortable. I would have liked a bedside lamp on each side and extension cords by the bed to make it easy to charge phones.

Nice little place

This is a great place for 2 who are visiting Salem and just need a place to lay their head at the end of the day. It is attached to a house and is a little studio type place.
