Sara is a wonderful and welcoming host and her Garden Studio apartment is fantastic. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and well-stocked with just about everything needed. Sara had fresh fruit and veggies and wine waiting for our arrival. There was a more than adequate variety of breakfast items along with milk, tea and coffee to send us off with a good start each day. The quiet location is only a few minutes drive from the heart of downtown and is easily walkable through pleasant parks and trails and the old railroad bridge across the river. We were in town for an American Volkssport Association convention and with morning walks and afternoon convention sessions our schedule was very full. It was so relaxing to come back each evening to the privacy and serenity of Sara's beautifully landscaped garden apartment. If we are ever back in Salem we will certainly look first to Sara for our lodging.
