We were so pleased with our stay! The apartment was spacious and clean in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The owners were super friendly and helpful. Off street parking for our vehicle was a plus! The location was convenient to Boston as well as areas north. We appreciated the opportunity to stay and would return.

I had a festival to attend as a vendor in Salem and this was a perfect spot. Big parking space, accommodation was just perfect. Price was in the budget. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Super recommend.

This place is amazing and so are the owners. Very private. Way nicer than a hotel at a fraction of the cost. Would love to stay here again on our next trip. Thank you so much. Beautiful apartment worth every penny.

The property is well kept and private. The walkability to the great local restaurants and groceries is a 9. Parking is off-street behind the main house, at the foot of the stairs to the private apartment, easily accessible and safe. Travel to Boston is available by commuter rail (purple line) Melrose Highlands 1 mile away. There are many walking, biking, hiking, and boating, options nearby. The owners are accessible if needed.

You enter through the bedroom and everything perfect. We didn’t get wifi from her but the phones did pick up wifi, but it was due to lack of communication, we were busy running to different restaurants and sight seeing Boston and Salem. 2 small inconveniences, limited towels and no wash cloths, (I always bring a set with me.)No pots or pans or plates or cups. There is a coffee maker. The lady we talked to was very nice and was helpful. The place was clean and well decorated. The chairs were comfortable. So don’t forget a hand towel and cups paper plates. Pot if you’re going to cook and ask the owner to turn on wifi right away. I would say on our trip it was a 10/10. I would stay there again.
