I had a great long weekend at Christy's house: perfect for the quiet retreat I was looking for. Just as advertised: cozy and recently renovated inside, work still going on outside, but I didn't mind that, and I look forward to seeing how it turns out. Roomy and comfortable, and Christy was welcoming, flexible, and helpful with suggesting local highlights. (The Word of Mouth breakfast was as good as advertised.) And the location is ideal: a low-key residential neighborhood a short, pretty walk away from the train station and downtown Salem. I'd be happy to return.
