Very cozy stay. The host was friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. We stayed with friends, but would be great for kids - play area in home and a park nearby!We thought it was the perfect distance between Boston and Salem.
About 25 minutes to salem for our mother daughter trip, perfect for us although by the time we got back to the apartment every night we were exhausted! Beds were great!
We booked here for a small girls trip to visit Boston and Salem and this house was in a fantastic central location. The neighborhood was beautiful and Sarah’s home was very comfortable for the 3 of us. Sarah was a fantastic host and she was very responsive. I would highly recommend this location and would definitely stay again!
This is a clean house in cute neighborhood. It has a wonderful front porch for morning coffee. The kitchen was well stocked, and the dining area and living room were easily large enough for 4 adults. The only recommendation would be to upgrade the mattresses or use mattress toppers. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful property. Great location. Excellent communication with the owner. Perfect place to get away from the bustle of Boston and the craziness of Salem in October. Would definitely stay again.
We loved our stay in Melrose. Were able to get to/from all our destinations with relative ease and it was so nice to come back to some place "homey" at the end of the day. Thank you so much.
needed a place close to downton boston to pick up my son from school and celebrate moms day. the house was not far from where we needed to be. very nice house with lots of space and rooms. neighborhood safe and quiet. would def stay again
We stayed here while visiting Boston and Salem. It was a perfect location! The town of Melrose is adorable, and the apartment was perfect. It had plenty of space and everything we could possibly need. It was a beautiful retreat after busy days of sightseeing.
My family and I thought this place was very clean and fitted all of our needs. Great location. We were able to get to Salem within 30 minutes with some traffic. Host was great about communication and made check in and out simple.
The unit is clean, spacious and well appointed. The deck is a charm place to relax with a cup of coffee. Quiet neighborhood with lots of dining options on Main Street. We would definitely stay here again.
Place worked out great for family of 5. Salem was an easy 30 minute drive. Just be aware the AC is only 2 window units, one in each bedroom.
