We loved staying here! The apartment was comfortable, spacious, quiet and clean. The bathroom was well stocked with toiletries and the kitchen was as well. It’s in a gorgeous historic district minutes away from everything on foot. We will definitely be back!

Lovely stay in a quiet area but a very short walk to the attractions of Salem. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable with everything you need for a short stay. Rachel was also responsive and helpful :)

The location of this air b&b can’t be beat! It is located in a beautiful old home- I could have spent an entire day just exploring all of the gorgeous classic New England homes in the neighborhood. Also had no problem finding street parking (late August/September). Rachel is a super responsive host and I really appreciated the local guide she shares for shops and restaurants.

Rachel’s apartment was great. It was exactly like the photos, very comfortable and super clean. It is located within walking distance of all of the main sights in Salem and at least during our visit in August- street parking was very easy by the apt and also easy to find metered parking closer to downtown Salem for times when you aren’t up for walking. Rachel’s guide was the best I have ever received from a host and she was very communicative and responsive. I love Salem and next time I visit I will definitely be booking this same apt.

our stay at 397 Essex was pure magic! zero friction, comfortable amenities, great location within walking distance to many shops and historic locations. I never had any issues but Rachel was quick to respond to any message. Highly recommended if visiting Salem!

Rachel’s place was perfect for our stay in Salem! It was super clean, quiet and in a great location! Rachel’s check-in instructions were clear and easy, and the photos and description were perfectly accurate! We had a peaceful time and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Salem!

We booked here because it looked fantastic, walking distance to downtown. It was also a very short car ride to a wedding venue in Peabody. A good pizza spot across the street! We loved our stay in this historic home with updated bathroom and kitchen. You truly get the best of both worlds. The photos were very accurate to the accommodation. What you see is what you get. Stairs are listed a few times in the listing. Be aware of these stairs. Host Rachel was superb. Very responsive to our messages. The electronic guidebook was the best guide on Airbnb. Highly recommended.
