I stayed in this apartment while I was in Salem to attend events at Willamette University. The apartment was in a residential area about 5 - 8 minutes drive from campus and the shops and restaurants of downtown Salem, which was perfect for me. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. The host was very kind and gracious, and quick to respond when I had any questions or needs. She provided delicious breakfast items and fresh, organic fruit upon my arrival. I'm a stickler for cleanliness and I found this apartment to be very clean and tidy --- far cleaner than the hotel I stayed at in Portland. If you're looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay near downtown Salem, I highly recommend this apartment.
