Xmas visit 2025
Had a great stay at Broom and Board. Was able to visit family / friends in the Beverly + Salem area and made the ride up to Southern NH to see my folks.
Comfy beds, nice clean kitchen, and great location made for a good trip back home.

We had a wonderful stay at Broom and Board! The listing perfectly described the home and was very clean. We most appreciated the location- just a 10-15 minute walk from downtown and near beautiful walking paths.
We had such a lovely time staying at Broom & Board! I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be close to downtown Salem but still enjoy peace and quiet.

Salem girls trip
Had a fabulous time in Salem! The property was as pictured, and worked beautifully for our group of 7. It was clean, spacious and the beds were really comfortable. Location was great, and very walkable into downtown, we parked our car and did not need to use it our entire stay. We would definitely stay here again!
Broom and Board was the perfect house for a girls trip to Salem! In total we had Eight girls and there was room for two more. The location was perfect and walking distance to the downtown Salem area! I’d definitely book this house again!

Hi Georgann,
We are so elated to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us at Broom & Board. We love how wonderful of a job our cleaners do to ensure the property is clean and comfortable for all of our guests. Didn't you love getting to enjoy yourselves in the kitchen? A perfect spot for anyone to really enjoy cooking in! We truly hope to see you again soon!
Main take away - decent place, bad property management. Pros - wonderful kitchen, beds were comfy, location was great. We walked everywhere, taking in town paths up to the coast, getting downtown to shop, and making our way to the red line historical tour. There’s a little market super close that was useful, and Coffee Time Bake Shop is really close. Cons - they wouldn’t let us check in early even though the property was ready and vacant (instead encouraged us to book another night, which seemed like a lot when we just needed an hour), little things like not having a trash can in the downstairs bathroom or mirrors in some bedrooms, and I felt like the listing was confusing about the layout. This is a two floor apartment above a basement tenant. The stairs to get up to the apartment and then to get to the second floor of the apartment are fairly steep. Mainly, though, our heater went out on day two of a five day reservation, and they did not fix it, have anyone come out to look at it, keep me updated at all about it, or try in any way to make it right. Each time I reached out, I got the same response - thanks for your patience, we’ll get back with you shortly. Really frustrating. So, if you’re cool with stairs, want a good kitchen, appreciate walkability, and nothing happens to go wrong with the property while you’re there, this is a good place!
This property was exactly as advertised. It was clean, comfortable, and located very close to downtown Salem. The hosts were also excellent with their communication and responsiveness -- we would definitely stay here again!

My family and I were in town for a funeral. The location was close to where the services were as well as being within walking distance to cafes and restaurants. Plenty of room for our party of 7 adults. Kitchen has great appliances and lots of cookware and dishes. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location
Broom and board was a perfect location to stay in the heart of Salem. 10-15 minute walk to all locations within Salem. House was clean but be prepared for steps. If there was anything wrong or missing, they installed or it brought it by in a timely manner.
