Historic Salem Retreat. Near Waterfront + Downtown

Host was very accommodating and responsive. The property was clean and well maintained, and the location is great, only a 5 minute drive from downtown Salem.

My mom and I stayed at this lovely place while helping her sister and brother in law as they reach the end of their life. It was such a relief to be able to rest at this cozy home after dealing with big heavy family matters. It was extra special to be able to come back to Salem, my home for my first and second birthdays. The host was great at communications and the place was beautiful!While I am concerned about what the vrbo industry is doing to housing security, I was grateful for its existence at this moment in time.

Large clean spacious 2 bedroom apartment with comfortable beds. Beautifully decorated. Short drive or 20 minute walk to all Salem attractions. Close to parking at commuter rail station and a 30 minute train ride to Boston. Great place to stay at!

Basic clean apartment affording a pleasant stay. Description is accurate.

We had a great stay overall. The neighborhood was really nice and felt quiet and safe. Unfortunately, the weather during our visit was rainy and cold, so we didn’t end up walking into Salem as we originally planned—but it was only about a 5-minute drive, which made it very convenient. We did walk to Salem Pioneer Village, which took us around 15 minutes, though likely shorter without little ones in tow.The home itself was very spacious and comfortable. We think there may have been other guests staying at the property, but we never saw or heard anyone, which made it feel very private.The hardwood floors can be a bit noisy, but that may have just been our 3- and 5-year-olds stomping around—nothing negative, just something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with kids. The bathroom is a little tight, but manageable, and the shower head is quite high, which could be a consideration for shorter guests.The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable—the linens even smelled amazing, which is always a nice touch.We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home in a great location. It was very clean and just what we need. Highly recommended for someone visiting Salem, and is close enough to Boston to visit there too. Loved this stay!

Wonderful and pleasant home. Perfect for our family of four's needs. Close to everything in Salem and super clean. The Master bed was beyond comfortable! Natalia was very easy to work with and would recommend using her as a host. Excellent overall experience, would highly recommend.

Loved our sweet apartment in Salem! Perfectly positioned, easy to get to town, and our host was very easy to get in touch with. It snowed while we were there and she kept us up to date on the town things. Really looking forward to a return trip!

Newly painted, very clean, very comfortable beds, and uncluttered. A very nice place to stay.

The home was beautiful but better signage would have help to know which door was which. Also in the description of the amenities it says parking on site. To many that means on the actual property and not on the street. I think it needs to be clear the only parking is on the street for this home. After a long day of exploring, we got back to the property in the evening time I believe before 10pm and there was not a spot in site or on street. We drove up and down to see if we could find a spot with in walking distance and nothing. Lucky one of the neighbors let us block their drive way to be able to park close enough to walk back to the property. I was very stressed by this because I felt I the advertisement of the property was false. The on site parking should be removed from the description and the amenities. It should clearly state that you will have to find parking on the street. I feel like the description makes it seem optional. Other than this the home was cute and seemed clean. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. Fire place could use a upgrade as the duck tape did not work to keep cool air out. Thank you again for the stay and I hope you take this as constructive feedback.

We were exhausted from traveling and coming home to this cozy home was perfect! We had everything we needed and the location was so convenient! It took us minutes to get to the museums and the heart of Salem. Truly a wonderful stay.

Better signage would help

This was a quaint, albeit basic two bedroom apartment in an old historic house, which gave us all the right vibes for a girls weekend in Salem. It’s very close to everything we wanted to see but far enough away for quiet nights. The wooden floors are glorious and original and creaky just like you would expect. There was plenty of on street parking, even coming and going at odd hours we never had an issue. The host was super great and immediately responded when I asked a question. . there were bags of microwave, popcorn, a great stocked coffee corner in the apartment, and just little touches that made it feel comfy.

This was a nice place. Close to the attractions of Salem and a short commute to Boston. It was clean and quiet. All the amenities of home in a quiet neighborhood.

Natalia was a wonderful host, very responsive when we had a few questions. Fantastic place to stay!
