I was in town to run a race at Silver Falls State Park and decided to say in Salem. Karen's place was perfect. It's comfortable, spacious and has everything you need and then some. It was close to everything in Salem including some great local coffee spots and places to eat. Can't say enough about Karen as a host either. The space was available early and she also gave me the flexibility to check out a little late, much appreciated as I was moving a little slowly after running a 50k. Highly recommend Karen's great apartment if you are staying in Salem!
