Wonderful home for exploring Salem!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience! This house was on a very quiet street with very friendly neighbors. Perfect location to explore Salem and relax away from all the action. Meg was a wonderful host and checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was good. She gave wonderful suggestions for our day trip to Maine. There is a binder with all the local food and entertainment with maps! The house was well stocked with everything you need plus some! We could npt have asked for a better experience! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
