Michael is a superior host! He was very thoughtful and personable, and even suggested some good local restaurants. The place was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean and was exactly what we needed for our stay for the Ironman race, as it was super convenient to the race location. For others, it's near downtown Salem and so would be very convenient for any visit. The kitchen had the perfect amount of supplies for 2 people and a little dining area with a table for 4, and the AC was great to have during the hot summer. There's a dishwasher, and washer/dryer, as well, and so it has all the comforts of home. It was also nice to be able to login to our personal accounts on Netflix and Disney Plus on the TV in the living room. The home was much more spacious than you can tell from the photos, and the design makes a really good use of the space. We will definitely be returning in future trips to Salem!
