Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Neighborhood summary Historic downtown Salem — directly on/adjacent to Salem Common. Short walk to Washington Square, Essex Street pedestrian shopping, Peabody Essex Museum sites, restaurants, cafes, and several heritage attractions (Salem Witch Museum area, historic houses). Waterfront, Winter Island Park, and Salem Harbor are minutes away by foot, bike or short drive. The area is busy with tourists seasonally (especially October) but otherwise compact and highly walkable.

You'll have access to a back entrance of the estate for a cozy 1 bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor of the house. There is a small parking space in front of the entrance that can fit any small/mid-sized vehicles. Trucks or larger SUV's will not fit, but there is plenty of free parking around the Commons and on Winter Street! Please remember that you're staying in a house, not a hotel. Treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP.
