My friends and I were visiting the East Coast for a week. Midway through our trip we had to change lodgings. This property was wonderful. It was very clean, comfortable, new and so nicely decorated. It was exactly what we were looking for, since our previous lodging elsewhere was horrible. The booking and communication with VRBO and the owner were seamless. There was plenty of street parking available and the neighborhood was quiet. There were nearby breakfast places that we enjoyed very much (Bagel World and Jaho). We also picked up roast beef sandwiches from Jaime's one night, which were delicious. Highly recommend this property!

Perfect location!

This wonderful, comfortable, clean, lovely place was perfect for our stay. Two separate bedrooms gave us privacy. It was very close to downtown Salem but just far enough away that you didn't feel like you were crammed into a nook downtown. Very nice host and good communication. I would definitely stay here again if I return.

Great little home away from home

My husband and I spent five days exploring the greater area of Boston, Salem, and Sandwich. This little abode offered a fenced in yard, outdoor seating, and accessibility to the recreational trail. This trail will take you to downtown Salem or Marblehead. Consider bringing your bicycles to explore the path. The hosts were remarkable and accommodating with our two dogs.

Great spot

Great place to stay to see Salem. It was only a few minutes from downtown and had free on street parking. My only criticism would be that each room had a small A/C unit rather than central air, so during the hotter summer months it might be harder to keep cool. The owner was very nice and was on the property a few of the days we were there working outside and in the other units.
