This is a lovely little hideaway in a beautiful neighborhood in Salem. Mary Lou provides thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, delicious snacks and drinks, comfortable bedding, hints for exploring Salem and surrounding areas, and all the dishes, glassware, etc. you need to serve simple meals. The loft is superbly furnished, and beautiful works of art decorate the space. This was our second stay, and we were just as happy with it as the first time.
