I really enjoyed my stay here. Convenient location in regards to getting to downtown Salem. 1 mile away from downtown. Convenient bike/walking trail you can take that will drop you right downtown. Trail is behind the property Bagel store across the street great for morning breakfast or coffee without the crowds & bagels were delicious. Other convenient business on the same street. Host keeps all the essentials needed to enjoy your stay.They left snacks, coffee, tea, bottle water and a couple sodas to start your vacation, very nice. Place was clean and beds were comfortable. The bathroom had all the essentials you will need to enjoy your stay. The only things to know if you're older, steps are steep. The furniture may be hard to get up off the sofa as it's low to the ground. I also prefer more windows for natural lighting as this unit is in the basement area of the building & if you enjoy privacy, then you may appreciate fewer windows. The owners keep the yard beautiful with flowers and a fire pit.If you don't want to be in the thick of it all during their peak season, this was a great location as that 1 mile makes it a lot quieter and easy to get in and out of town when you're ready to go home. I would definitely recommend it.
