We enjoyed our stay in this condo. The galley kitchen had everything we needed in it. The living area and bedrooms were spacious. There were plenty of towels! The decor was calm and soothing. Having the creek to look at and listen to was an added bonus especially after a day of sightseeing and hiking! For us, being close to the town center and the state capitol was a definite plus. We did see homeless encampments in this area, but we never felt unsafe. In fact at night we would walk to the center of town for dinner. Salem does have a nice foodie vibe!
