We booked this apartment based on it’s proximity to where our family lives in Salem. Communication was friendly, and the check in/out process was quick. Not very clear with instructions, though... as the code changes each day, so the check out code is different from the check in code, but we had a quick response from the manager to get a new code. We also were granted an earlier check time, but we ended up not needing it. The flexibility was much appreciated, though. The bedrooms are not photographed in the listing, but we took a chance based on what we saw in the other photos of the apartment. One bedroom is off the living room and doesn’t have a door. It has a 4-poster bed, with a somewhat run down desk and office chair. Helpful if you’re working from home, but there’s no privacy and room feels small with the larger furniture in it. (It looks like it was an office space converted to be a second bedroom.) The other bedroom is off the hallway by the bathroom. Decor was pretty neutral for both bedrooms with white blankets and linens. The second bedroom had a unique choice in throw pillows on the bed... one says “Love” and the other says “Hip Hop”. The bathroom has a bit of a tight squeeze, particularly between the toilet and the elongated sink/counter. The space has great potential to be a super cute apartment. The ceilings are fantastic, and the there’s tons of great natural lighting from all the windows. The apartment just needs a little TLC. Seems there are some personal items left strew about, not really adding to the decor. For example, there’s a random chain necklace hanging on a nail in the hallway. In the morning, I spotted a white fuzzy sock/scarf on the bed frame. I didn’t look too closely as I didn’t really want to know what it was. The mix and match gives it a cluttered feel, and the space would be suited better if some older home goods were stored or given away. The cabinets were partly empty, but then we found all the dishes still in the dishwasher. After I noticed a few strands of hair on the bed sheets, I diverted my attention elsewhere, but couldn’t really get comfortable. Also, we didn’t use the shower, but it took a very long time to get hot water in the kitchen sink. The outdoor patio space is probably great in warmer seasons, but we didn’t use it as it during our stay. Finally, if you’re a coffee drinker... bring K cups for a Keurig machine. None were provided (as we’ve experienced in other stays), and I didn’t see other options to make coffee with the grounds we brought with us. Overall, this AirBnB felt like we were staying in someone’s current home, and they couch-surfed at a nearby friend’s to give us the apartment for the night. Thankful we found a place to stay in Salem, but in comparison to other AirBnBs we’ve visited, this one has room for improvement, especially for the price point.
