Deljan and Emily made this birthday staycation so very magical. Not only is this place absolutely gorgeous, cozy, warm, and well taken care of.. not only does this home have that witchy-Salem aesthetic that you want when visiting Salem....but it's got such calming atmosphere too. The jewel-tone walls, furniture, and decor absolutely make this place spectacular. It is within a short walking distance to the center of Salem too, which makes for an easy night out on the town. The ease of checking in and out, coupled with the delicious snacks and drinks provided and warm and professional hospitality maybe this place by far, my favorite home away from home. I cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much!

Great Location

We chose this location because it was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Salem and Boston. The place was clean, the AC worked perfectly, and it had what we needed to stay for two days. I did not have any issues checking in or communicating with the host when needed. The suggestions they gave for local restaurants paid off and we enjoyed some amazing food and ambiance.Overall, we enjoyed the stay, and I would come back if ever in the area.

It was great. The amenities are exactly as promised. We had to buy a few things like trash bags and a blender, but otherwise it was completely good. The parking is a little rough though. If you're an experienced driver, it's not issue. If you're not an experienced driver though, the owner has offered to park for you if you are having trouble.

Awesome and Cozy Stay!

This place was absolutely wonderful! Not only was the decor super cute and very “Salem,” I also didn’t need a car to drive to anything in Salem as the place was super close to all the main Salem attractions and shops. Very walkable and located in a quaint and quiet neighborhood. Emily and Deljan were also very kind and accommodating hosts. (They even left me a little mug from one of the local shops as a gift—how sweet!) Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice, enjoyable stay in Salem.

Perfect for mother/daughter getaway

Property was perfect for our short stay in Salem. The neighborhood was quiet. Plenty of fans in each room. Extra bedding, pillows, and towels are always a plus since my mother stays cold. Espresso machine and tea was great for early mornings! Comfy bed. WiFi was fast too which made working a few times while on my trip a breeze. The hosts were very quick to respond to any email. Will def stay again if we find ourselves in Salem!

I had a fantastic stay at Moody Salem Home Away From Home! From the outside, it might seem modest, but inside it’s surprisingly spacious. There’s a roomy dining area, a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, and a large king bed that made me feel like I had a luxurious amount of space. Even the entryway felt welcoming.I easily walked to downtown Salem in about 15 minutes after checkout, which was a breeze. Just a heads up: the parking spot is a bit tight, but having off-street parking in Salem is a huge plus and well worth it.Overall, the place was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and the check-in process was the easiest I’ve ever had. Communication was top-notch: clear, concise, and super helpful. Definitely recommend!

Navigation to Salem downtown was a bit of a task because cell service got quirky as soon as we backed into the driveway. A map would have been helpful but it all.worked out. We tried communicating through the app to let the owners know our plans for a later entry but the messages from them didn't come through email or the app for how to check in. We were blessed by a neighbor who called them on our behalf for entry. The space was gorgeous. Very roomy. Very clean. And ... moody if that's the word you want to use for a spot in Salem. It was a good location for bopping around downtowm.

Thank you for your comments! Yes, we recommend that guests review our entry instructions and their personal entry code before arrival because cell reception with certain providers can sometimes be difficult on our street. We send check in instructions and entry codes a day ahead and have WiFi inside which combats the occasionally spotty cell service.

Way over priced for what this place is advertised. Youre better off staying in a hotel.Compared to the multiple VRBO properties i have stayed i would rate this the lowest.Zero amenities. Cant cook anything because there is zero condiments, no water, not even salt/pepper. Cabinet door fell off the hinge. The place is decorated from thrift store finds. The couch is cute but impractical, uncomfortable, and the back of the couch was loose. So, couldnt really even "chill" on the couch after a long day in Salem.The bathroom is on the opposite side of house from bedroom so good luck if you wake in middle of night to pee.There was no advantage to stay here vs. A hotel. Zero privacy given all neighbors are literally 3 feet outside your window.Good location but that is the only benefit.I wouldnt pay more than 350 per night. Stay at one of the hotels in town and youre better off.

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience in our home. We would have been happy to provide any of the items mentioned upon request and have since restocked our kitchen. Living in downtown Salem and enjoying the benefits of our central location does mean we live close to our neighbors. We have thoughtfully curated our space with many vintage finds from around Salem and it's one of our and our guests' favorite things about our home! It sounds like a hotel would have been a better fit for the experience you were looking for.

Great apartment, wonderful host

My husband, me and my son stayed in this apartment for 3 nights. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. They texted the door code and gave suggestions for places to eat. All were great. The house was beautifully updated but still had the warm historic feel. Great size kitchen. Shower/bathroom was very nice. Bedroom was a little small but we also had a pack n play in there and didn’t really need anything else. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. I would suggest upgrading that but otherwise everything was great. Parking is tricky but it’s just the style of the area. Nothing can be done and the owners were very accommodating to let us have the parking spot. Once my husband got the trick of it, it was no problem. Apartment is private and on the 1st floor which was perfect for me being disabled. It was also located super close to the main part of Salem but not too noisy. We would definitely recommend this host and the house.
