Pay close attention to the very detailed instruction the owner sends. We did not and had trouble finding the parking. But that was totally on us!!!! Once we found parking and got inside, the home was lovely. We texted with the owner who was so nice. She helped us out navigating around town. The unit was well stocked with amenities including popcorn and oatmeal - nice touches! It was wonderful to sit on the balcony in the morning and drink my tea while watching the bubbling brook. The condo is adjacent to a lovely neighborhood with adorable houses and beautiful yards. Walking around the neighborhood was a delight. We took other walks to the capital building, the university and the old town. All easy and very enjoyable. I would absolutely stay here again.

Stayed here once before and back again because of your lovely stream to visit our daughter at college. We will return. Thanks for a nice stay

Loved our short stay here. We will definitely be back. Comfortable beds and enjoyed the patio over looking the river.

The place had a minimalist vibe. We arrived late. The owners/housekeeper had not cleaned the main suite after the previous guest. As a result, the bed was slept in, and dirty towels were on the ensuite floor. Not only was this disappointing, but I also did not feel safe because if they did not clean the unit, did they change the digital door lock code after the previous guest? I would have gone elsewhere if it were not close to midnight. The rest of the unit appeared to be clean. There were clean blankets in the second bedroom and clean towels in the second bathroom. I slept on the futon in the front room. The front room offered no privacy as the large sliding glass door did not have a curtain or shade. I would see the people who lived in the unit across the creek every time I looked out the sliding glass door or sat on the deck. Waking up to the bright sunrise shining through the sliding glass door was nice. I enjoyed coffee on the deck while listening to the water running through the creek in the morning. The sunrise, deck, and creek were the best part of this experience. Parking was awkward. Street parking was limited. The owners gave me a partial refund for the inconvenience, but I would have preferred a clean place to stay when I arrived without concern about who may have the access code to the unit.

We enjoyed our stay, thanks.

Need more comfortable chairs, safety features in the bathrooms, mattresses maybe should be replaced. Kitchen well stocked, pretty of towels and sheets, loved the patio, loved the ability to walk downtown, thank you for games and TV. Thank you for coffee too! We would stay there again.

Loved the place and the location was central to downtown Salem, made getting around easy. Thanks for the stay!

The apartment is in an older small complex. It was comfortable but not fancy. It was very quiet and convenient to the downtown. I was there alone for nearly 3 weeks and although the homeless population is a few blocks away, I was never afraid or uncomfortable.

What a great place to stay for a get-away to the Capitol. Centrally located just blocks from stores, restaurants and the state Capitol Bulidling. It was very clean, spacious and had all of the amenities we could need/want. The creek that runs along the backside is beautiful. We cracked our bedroom windows at night so that we could listen to the beautiful sound. Super easy check-in and check-out. Host was very responsive and also gave perfect directions on the location, including the parking spot. We would definitely stay here again.

Before you book this location, but sure to thoroughly read the description. They are not hiding the fact that there are several homeless people outside and around the neighborhood. We did not feel comfortable and choose not to park or sleep at the property. Be aware of what you will be renting if you book this VRBO property.

The listing is very accurate. The directions were spot on. The homelessness close to the rental is accurate as well but we work with the homeless in our town so they didn't bother us. When we had to go boxes from dinner we would take them over and talk to them. Interesting stories. I like getting up in the morning and walking around exploring the town and finding coffee shops and seeing whats going on around the town. Huge 3 on 3 basketball tourney this past weekend. Farmers markets were great. Neat town to explore. Riding bikes on the Island was really nice. Lots of fun day trips less that an hour from Salem. If we return to Salem we would stay here again. If you dont like homeless folks you probably wouldn't like this area as warned in the listing. Didnt bother us all.

Stayed here with our 2 kids + dog while visiting family and it was great! Super convenient location right downtown. The layout of the condo has a nice separation between the living/dining area and the bedrooms which is great for naptimes (our kids and ours LOL) Its clear the owners put a lot of attention to detail with some features Id expect in a hotel. But the real gem is the patio space that overlooks the creek. We spent both morning with our coffee and evenings with our cocktails enjoying the deck space! As other reviewers mentioned, there are some transient people across the street (typical throughout downtown) but we parked in the back assigned parking space and never saw another person on the property during our 4 day stay. Very safe IMO. Cant wait to stay again over the christmas holidays!

While the property is a bit dated it was perfect as a home base as we wandered around Salem. Affordable - owner contact - all we’re top notch

The exterior of the complex & immediate neighborhood did not provide a great first impression, but the rental unit itself was very nice, the neighbors were all very quiet (at 10:00 PM everything got quiet every night), and within walking distance we were able to find nice places to eat/shop. Some very nice touches (lots of towels, very comfortable beds, plenty of dishes & paper products, and nice appliances/coffee maker), but nothing fancy (not that most people are looking for fancy in Salem) and lesser used amenities could use some TLC/additional thought. A good value for the price and the manager was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

We came to Salem for the graduation of our daughter from Corban University. The place was clean and well restored as the pictures showed. The neighborhood was not as nice as we liked with quite a few homeless people hanging out nearby but overall the experience was good.

Perfect location nice . It has wonderful room to visit with family. I really we can rent this one again. Thanks!

We only stayed 1 night but the condo was well supplied and comfortable. Off street parking was a plus. Location is really a don't know as we only spent the night and did not explore the area.
