Just a cozy and enjoyable experience. Rachel’s place made us feel right and home & we would love to return! Everything was in a short driving distance and the apartment is very quiet and peaceful. Lots of clean towels and even coffee and snacks! 10/10 experience!

Lovely spot in Salem, with a great interior. Easily walk to a great mexican resturant down the road, or easy drive to breweries and other resturants downtown. Will happily stay again.
