Winter Weekend Getaway

Very cute apartment and building. The host was easy to communicate with and the apartment was clean and well stocked with essentials. The witch museum and commons are right up the block & across the street is a walking path that our dogs loved.

Outstanding Stay

One of the few VRBO places we have stayed at that actually felt at home, not an empty place. The stairs were difficult for a 74 year with bad knees is the only complaint.

Amazing Apartment, Amazing Location, and Amazing Property Owner...(What more could you want!)

This property was so nice and well kept! The property manager/owner was very friendly and attentive! The check in process was seamless! And the location to all Salem has to offer is perfect!! You do have to park on the adjacent side streets, but that isn't a problem.... especially considering all the aforementioned pluses this property had to offer!! I will be booking again when I come back through town!!

Beautiful 2 bedroom flat - Fabulous spot super cute & clean!

The host Charley was great, loved the guide, very responsive. A super cute in great location, near the water and walking distance to all the Salem museums and shops. Loved the kitchen, well stocked with condiments & staples. The bedrooms were perfect and so was the seasonal decor. It was our first time in Salem and Charley's guidebook had restaurants and tours etc which made it easy to decide on things to do. We had a lovely stay! Thanks so much. We would definitely recommend this place to our family & friends & anyone looking for a cute, clean place and good location. Ziggy & Sons donuts was on the corner nearby and we had donuts and coffee there on our two mornings there. Thanks Charley we had a lovely stay!

"Charming Rental in Prime Location, but Challenging for Mobility and Small Pets"

The rental is in a prime location, offering convenient access to numerous attractions, which truly enhances the stay. The home itself is clean and comfortable, providing a welcoming atmosphere. However, the stairs are quite steep and narrow, posing a challenge for anyone with hip or knee issues, as I experienced. While the host is friendly and very responsive, it's worth noting that they monitor the property via a contactless Ring camera, which may feel a bit intrusive to some. We stayed with our pets, but I wouldn’t recommend this place for those with small dogs or young children with strollers, as navigating the stairs could be difficult for them. Overall, it's a pleasant stay, but with some caveats for those with mobility concerns.

We absolutely loved our stay in Salem, MA. The location couldn’t have been better—everything in town was within walking distance, and it was so easy to explore all the charming streets, shops, and historic sites. We even took a few day trips to nearby states, which was a breeze thanks to how conveniently Salem is located. Parking was always easy to find, and the local food scene was fantastic—we enjoyed every meal. Between the comfort of the home and the perfect location, it truly made our trip unforgettable.
