Short stay
My husband and I were traveling with our small dog. The apartment was clean and comfortable and the host and his friend were very helpful and nice. The apartment is on the 3rd floor of an apartment house which is not clear when booking unless you read the fine print. The stairs and remainder of the building were not as clean or pleasant.but the actual apartment was nice

Rental in Salem
The house was nicely furnished and well-maintained. The parking was a bit confusing at first- maybe putting up a sign for the parking space would help

Terrible location and odor
We actually did not stay. There was a bad odor in the building and the steps to the 3rd floor apartment were too narrow for us to navigate with luggage. Please refund. We had to go to an expensive hotel $500 for the night. We are two over 65 years old women.

Great location for family stay in Salem
Our family of four was in town for a baby shower, and this was the perfect location to easily access all the fun of Salem. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax, and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies.
There are two flights of narrow stairs, which would be very hard for anyone with mobility issues to navigate, but I appreciated that this information was included in the listing. My only feedback would be that we checked in on a very warm day, and none of the fans or AC units were on when we arrived (so it took quite a while for the house to cool down). But once everything was running it was very comfortable.

Cozy and Thoughtful Stay
Great Property! We were pleasantly surprised by everything. The apartment was nice and clean, and it was really close to Essex Street. They left coffee for us to try and it was nice and dog friendly. The responses were fast which I appreciated. We had fun!

It is very difficult to find places that will accommodate 6 adults comfortably and this worked out perfectly for us. Everything we needed was there. Communication with Michael was very prompt and helpful. Great balcony space too!

Charming character
Very appropriate to Salem. Quite dated but beautifully decorated with various Halloween related items. I wish it had more than 1 or at least bigger bathroom. Very cozy. Minutes drive from historic district and to many great restaurants, but not a walking distance.

Quick stay in Salem
We decided to stay two nights in Salem to break up our drive to Maine. We are a family of five, set of 17 year old twins (boy/girl) and a 11 year old (girl). This house was perfect. Extremely clean, lots of room, and well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The owner was responsive and had clear communication. The house is minutes from town. Would recommend to friends and family.
