My husband and I had our BEST AirBnB experience staying with Mary Lou and Alan! The loft was clean, comfortable, airy, and had everything we needed. Mary Lou left us little snacks, which were especially helpful for our day trip hiking. The bed was very comfortable so had restful sleep the entire time. While the loft is equipped with AC, it was breezy with the window open so we just slept with the fan on. The artwork throughout the loft and sculptures in the garden kept it colorful and fun!
The neighborhood was a beautiful and quiet residential neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Walking distance to a big park (Busch Park) for a morning run or stroll. Also under 10 minutes drive to downtown Salem. We found the loft location very convenient for driving to nearby towns (e.g., Dayton, Mcminneville, Newburg, Dundee) and vineyards - all about 30-45 minutes drive away.
The highlight of our stay was getting to know Mary Lou, Alan, and their adorable dog, Gramps. We had a great time chatting with them each day and enjoyed the tour they gave us of the neighborhood. They gave us tips for places to check out and were so warm and thoughtful - I wish they were our neighbors back home!
Mary Lou, Alan, and Gramps - thanks again for an awesome stay and please do keep in touch!!
