The house had plenty of space and was very clean. The owners were wonderful and responded to messages very quickly. Very easy check in. This property is in a beautiful Salem neighborhood and very close walking distance to downtown Salem. It was perfect !
Location was in a quiet, safe neighborhood approximately 25 minutes walk from downtown Salem. Not having to deal with the headache of downtown parking in October is a plus ()! Unit was clean overall, however a couple towels had holes in them and the shower curtain liner needed to be cleaned or replaced. Communication with the host was very easy and fast, as was the check in/check out process. I would absolutely stay here again for a return trip to Salem in the future!
Great location. S block from my relatives and close to walk to the town of Salem. Quiet and clean and loved the backyard space. We’ll be back! Thanks Leo!
The house was exactly what we needed. It was clean and relatively quiet. The chickens in the backyard were a little unusual but they were quiet and not an issue at all. Definitely would stay again.
The location of the property is perfect. Sadly the cleanliness was not great….the beds had old eyelashes in them and fuzz balls. The shower had mold around the tub and old bars of soap and empty bottles of shampoo. Also we were on the bottom floor, and with such an old home you could hear a ton of movement upstairs.
Such a cute comfortable apartment this is. There are 3 stories to the house with this unit being the ground floor. It certainly has all the comforts you could wish for, great beds and linens, spacious rooms, and easy access (make sure you get a good straight on approach to the driveway). The big bonus is the backyard space. Plenty of seating around a firepit supplied with wood, the happy chickens in their secure pen, and the most fabulous well tended vegetable garden. It feels as if you're on a little farm and belies the fact that you're so close to the action in Salem. The neighborhood is lovely with a few walkable stores and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our time staying here!
Lovely location, great space, perfectly described, close to both Salem Willows and Salem. The only problem is that the bathroom tub did not drain, the shower head was difficult to figure our and the sink stopper did not work. Bathroom is an important room when you have five people requiring showers daily. This bathroom was in poor condidtion for that. Otherwise all was fine.
Planned a girls trip with my granddaughter and sister in law, the apartment was close to Salem, nice quiet neighborhood , we felt safe and the apartment was really nice, the only thing that bothered us were the permanent tenants on the 2nd floor we so loud, we heard them walking and going up and down the stairs unloading groceries close to midnight and walking around above us and a lot of bumping then we were woken by 6 with going up and down stairs multiple times, we did not get good sleep because of this, I understand they are permanent residents there but I think they should’ve been more respectful and considerate of the short stay renters, other then that the stay was perfect
Property is in a good location. Beds were very comfortable. The floors are paper thin and we could hear the people on 2nd story sneeze and cough. They were pretty loud until late so we did have trouble sleeping on two nights. Numerous blinds are broken but the blinds in bathroom are broken in a spot that leaves no privacy if using restroom. We hung up a towel over the blinds to feel comfortable. The sink and shower were not cleaned great as there was hair on both when we arrived. I think overall the cleaning needdd to be much better. There was lipstick on a coffee cup on counter that wiped right off so it wasn’t stained. Food was under kitchen table. I am picky about cleanliness but I think some big things were missed or need to be fixed.

The place was clean and there plenty of space. The walking distance to downtown Salem wasnt bad and it was nice to be able to leave our vehicle sit. The worst thing about this place was the noise coming from the upstairs unit. This is a duplex with each level being a full unit. That place is also rented out. They were extremely loud walking around for all hours of the night. Things being dropped, heavy walking, and banging. We stayed 4 nights and all but one night was just miserable trying to stay asleep. I did email the host but all did was acknowledge the complaint. Sleep was very important so that we could enjoy all the things Salem had to offer. Unfortunately it was very lacking. I will not stay at this Vrbo again. If you value, your rest I would recommend not staying here.
Owner was very attentive to our needs. Our space was clean and spacious. Great neighborhood!

The place was not as described. There was live chickens and a full garden outback so you had no use of the outside at all. They had mice running through the house which we discovered on our last night there and the tenants on the second floor above us whom I take breather the owners or took care of the property. What every night to the point that we could hear them moving furniture or whatever screaming and yelling constantly the most disruptive vacation I have ever had
We were a little confused by the parking at first, but were able to walk to downtown Salem easily. Everything was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet.
The property was spacious and comfortable. The owners came over quickly when we had a problem. There were some things definitely missing from the property that should be there for the price we paid. Here is a list: toaster, pairing knife, scissors, glassware...wine glasses not plastic ware, paper products...kleenex, napkins, paper towel, soft toilet paper (not industrial tp or paper towel). Overall had a nice experience, but definitely missing some amenities.
It was easy to check in, host was polite and very responsive, i did a walk through before we entered to make sure all was well and other than minor things like broken blinds and the loud stomping/walking from upstairs the place was as described. It was clean comfortable, the yard was beautiful with chickens and vegetables growing. The walk from there to the main attractions wasnt a bad one. The parking getting in was a bit scary lol kinda snug plus we were in a full size nissan pathfinder but not terrible. Check in and out was easy, the place was nicely furnished very cold AC. We will definitely look to rent again. No disappointments
Everything was exactly as pictured! I loved the fact that in the middle of the city, they have utilized their property to make it country like with a garden and chickens. It made me feel home as I live in the country.Really will stay again !
It was overall a good stay. The house is close to main shopping areas. We did however run out of bleach and there was no dishwasher detergent so we washed most of the dishes by hand. The rooms were large and the beds were comfortable!
We were very have with the property. It was so close to everything in Salem. We were able to park our car and walk everywhere! Also close to the train to head to Boston too. After having fun all day the place was large and comfortable to unwind! We would stay here again for sure :)
The property was fine, but dated. Could use a deep clean as well. Rooms are comfortable and kitchen has all of the basics.

Location was great for going to Salem. Actually property needed to be cleaned thoroughly. Bathroom was cluttered with a ton of left behind shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Tape and left behind streamers from the past guests. Definitely questionable cleaning. But it was over all a good fit for us.

Poor communication and screaming tenants
The instruction on how to access keys were lacking. With this confusion, it took 2 calls and 1 text to get manager to respond. The bathroom had hairs from previous clients on bathroom sink and in shower. Cobwebs in one of the bedrooms in corners of ceiling. The people on top unit were having a screaming fight. This was the lady who finally came down and helped us in. Backyard was in disarray and not what was depicted in pictures on site.
We had a nice stay with 5 adults. Some minor things included slow drain in the bathroom, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and limited kitchen equipment. There are chickens in the backyard which was unexpected and the fire pit didn’t look as welcoming in the picture.
