Exceeded our expectations, perfection, highly recommend and will stay again. Host, Mary Lou, is very friendly and was quick to respond from initial communication and throughout our stay. The Art Loft is in a lovely historic neighborhood and is very quiet, we slept well. Our parking space was conveniently at the bottom of the stairs. We were very pleased with the Art Loft, the vibe, layout, size, decor and amenities, all were wonderful. Cleanliness was great, bed was very comfortable, bed and bath linens were good quality. The bathroom and kitchen were thoughtfully stocked. We enjoyed our coffee, yogurt and granola, while sitting surrounded by all the wonderful art, reading about the artists / artwork and the host's local recommendations. We were in Salem for a relative's graduation. The Art Loft was our peaceful oasis. In between family celebrations we found time to visit Willamette Winery for a bite and a glass of wine. Archive Coffee Bar, a short drive away, was great. After a walk around downtown, we took a short drive to Minto Island Growers, for a delicious lunch, on the edge of the garden, prepared in a food truck type trailer, by friendly folks... We were thrilled with the suggestions in the Art Loft's notebook. Our son was also pleased with his special accommodations ("camp-out") on the mattress and bedding provided and we could easily fold it all up and tuck it out of the way. Mary Lou even had some small toys and an artist board for our son. He loved borrowing these cool new toys. Mary Lou's husband is just as nice, we met him when dropping off the key. Our stay couldn't have been better and I highly recommend the Art Loft. We'll be back!
