From the moment I met Mary Lou and Alan, I knew that I picked the right place to stay in Salem. To simply say they are polite and welcoming would be an understatement. Their kindness and warmth is electric. The art space loft was perfect. The linens smelled fresh, the space was inviting and clean, and the art showcased throughout the studio was done well. There is no television and we didn't miss it. Who needs television when you have all this art to enjoy? The studio has a very well working air conditioning unit and so many windows to open for fresh air if the weather permits. On our second night, our gracious hosts invited us into the home for homemade pie and ice cream and to chat and share travel stories. Incredible. I can't say enough great things about this Airbnb. I've used Airbnb about five times now and this is by far the best experience I've ever had. I literally can't think of one bad thing about this unit. Thank you to Mary Lou and Alan for a great Salem trip.
