Broom & Board: Salem Charm in Prime Historic Location Near the Waterfront

This place was spotless! It was so airy and comfortable. I went with a group of girlfriends for my 40th birthday and couldn't have chosen a sweeter retreat!

Very clean and spacious. Perfect for a girls weekend.

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!

Great place to stay and so close to town!

Charming, clean and within walking distance of all the fun. Great kitchen and upstairs loft area.

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.

Great place to stay! Super convenient walk to downtown but also very quiet and safe. Comfortable area with a nice space to hangout. Great host!

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!

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!

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.

Great location, attentive host, will happily use this house again in the future.

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.

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.

The property was just as advertised. Easy walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Very neat and clean and comfortable. I would return for another stay.

Loved our stay

Everything was wonderful....but we were there on one of the hottest days of the summer with temps near 101. The upstairscwas almost unlivable in that heat but we really couldnt complain too much. We loved our stay.

This house was in a great location to walk around and sight see. The house, itself was easy to find and parking was easy. There are super steep stairs up to the front door so if you have mobility issues - this is not for you. The house is super cute but the carpets in the upstairs bedrooms could use a cleaning or replacement.. they are light colored and highly spotted. The beds were comfortable.. plenty of hot water.. we used the washer and dryer and they worked great - there were coffee grounds and sweeteners and a bunch of other stuff there when we got there.. a little liquor store within walking distance for snack and drinks. Stop n Shop was close to stock up for our stay. The AC in each room worked great but was noisy - bring ear plugs if you'll be running AC. All in all if we end up back in Salem again we'll be seeing if this property is available.

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.

This house was a 10 minute walking distance from downtown salem. I would highly recommend and i would most definitely stay here again. Also getting in contact with the host was super easy. She responded to me in 10 minutes after messaging her.

This place is awesome! The description is exactly as it says. We had a group of 7 and everyone was very comfortable. Beds are soft and everyone slept well. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. If I ever went back to Salem I would stayed here again.

A good time was had by all - great spot!

The apartment was just as described. We had 7 adults but easily could have fit more. The kitchen was a nice surprise. Spacious, modern and very well equipped for cooking for a group. The stairs to enter the apartment and the stairs to access the 3rd floor are very steep and narrow so I wouldn’t suggest it for elderly guests but the young ones in our group managed just fine. Great location! The property managers were very responsive and helpful. We really appreciated that.

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!

Great location -- close to everything!

We loved the house! It was adorable and a perfect location to explore Salem! Definitely recommend!

Broom and Board is quite nice. 12-15 minutes to the main drag (Essex street). I went for the Halloween madness. Was a little disappointed that there were no Halloween decorations anywhere on the property but to each there own. Only issue was the bathrooms flushing system - which took forever to refill or not at all. Old toilets.

Perfect for our large group of 8 girls. Perfect sleeping arrangements. 2 bathroom. Nice kitchen. It was well equipped we were able to make most of our meals there. Close walking distance to center of town Wonderful bakery close by.

Our group of 7 had a wonderful stay here for our spooky themed trip! Plenty of room for us all, and very comfortable. Hosts even left us some wine! Highly recommend and hope to be back again

We really loved this house! The
