This was our first use of Airbnb, and it encourages us to do this more often. This was a roomy, comfortable, private space in the basement (there was a window in the bedroom giving some natural light) of Bob and Delia Bothwell’s home. The quality of the bed linens and bathroom towels was very high, and much appreciated. The living area was very spacious and had a refrigerator, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and an adequate supply of plates, cups, and silverware. There even were two wine glasses and a corkscrew!
A 65 inch TV was fed by DirecTV, and as we had never had such a system, it took us some time to sort the system out. I got up to watch a 06:00 Euro 2020 soccer game on Sunday morning and was disappointed I could not watch the game. The transmission was on ESPNHD and I do not know whether the problem was the TV could not accept HD, or whether DirecTV had a special soccer package. However, I could watch replays of games, and live transmissions of Copa America soccer - and my wife could watch the French Tennis Final which was on at the same time as the Euro 2020 game and hence there was no fight over which we should watch!
What also was good one had space to the side of the driveway to park a car off the road in a neighborhood where many cars are parked on the road.
The location provides easy access to downtown Salem, and is convenient to several wineries. We were in the area to attend a wedding at Zenith Vineyard, and also took the opportunity to have a tasting at Evesham Wood winery.
