I have family in Swampscott and wanted to be near. This was the perfect location! Super cute neighborhood. You can walk to cafes and restaurants in minutes and take a stroll or jog along the paved sidewalk near the bay. My daughter said the apartment reminded her of a European flat. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It made our visit with family super convenient. Will definitely be staying here again. We are from Texas and aren’t used to Massachusetts winters, so we found the apartment a little cold. Other than that, we had a great stay.

Perfect little apartment. Felt homey and welcoming.

This property was perfect for two people! It’s located right in between Salem, Ma and Boston, Ma., so it was great to be able to explore both in one trip. The property itself was very clean and Ivan was quick to respond to any communications we had. I would love to stay here again!

My wife and I had a great experience with Ivan and his property. It was just as nice and clean in person as in the add. Check in and check out were seamless. I would rent again and have already recommended this place to my sons and friends.

Perfect for our purpose of a quick girls getaway. Partial view of water and sailboats off the porch. Very quiet area and nieghbors. Property was clean, a fresh coat of paint would make it look better. Ivan is a terrific host, he let us drop off our luggage early while the cleaning crew worked. He also brought us extra towels and paper towel when we requested. We would stay again if we came back to this area.

This was a perfect place for my mom and I to stay. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Thank gosh for Ivan’s detailed instructions on how to get to the place from the road. We will be back again!

We had a great stay at Ivan’s! We loved being so close to the beach. The apartment was perfect for a weekend getaway. Thanks, Ivan!

We had so much fun in this cozy little town. Everything was a short walk or short driving distance. Gorgeous views of the bay. Quiet and peaceful. We absolutely loved it!!

We had a great stay at Ivan's property! The location is excellent, with a beach within walking distance and conveniently located to Salem and Boston as well. The space was comfortable and exactly as described/pictured - we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Gorgeous views of the harbour, right across from a stunning beach and convenient for trips into Boston. Would definitely recommend!

The place is very nice. It has a great view of water. It is conveniently located within walking distance of Swampscott. We were close enough to do day trips to Salem and Boston.

It was very hot the week we were in Swampscott. The breeze off water was nice and cool. Relaxed on deck.

Really enjoyed our stay. House was as described and it was a convenient location for us to get to Salem for the day

Ivan's little place is tucked away in a small alcove just a few hundred feet from the shore. Great view to wake up to in the morning and very nice neighborhood worth the evening walk back from dinner or grilling on the deck after a day at nearby Salem. The only downside was the stairs required to get to the apartment but aside from that. A perfect little getaway with easy access to Salem and the Boston area.

Ivan was a great host and responded promptly to one small request we had. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. The space was perfect for my wife and I as we did some sightseeing during the day and hung out there in the morning and evening. Having breakfast on the deck was wonderful! Thanks for a great stay!

Very close to Salem but away from the business. Amazing view of the ocean! Super cute and comfortable.

The property was in a great location for our stay. We had what needed and we enjoyed our time.

Clean place, nice views and walking distance to a few nice restaurants

This was an apartment with a great view and perfect for two people. It had a clean and stylish bathroom with plenty of room for toiletries. The kitchenette allows for the preparation of simple meals, but the apartment is within walking distance of the beach and several restaurants. On street parking only. The house and apartment are located on the side of the hill, requiring the use of a stairway of 20 plus steps to reach the apartment. Only people who can climb steps should rent this place.

I stayed at this apartment with my husband (we shared the bedroom) and my dad (who slept on the fold out couch). We were all very comfortable and slept great! The apartment had everything we needed, a kitchen area with a coffeemaker and a fridge, a table with a great window view, a few books and a board game on the bookshelves, the bedroom has a tv , and the terrace has a beautiful view of the water. It's just a short walk to the waterfront, a convenience store, and several restaurants. We were all very hapy with our stay here.

This place was perfect for me and my boyfriend to enjoy Boston/Salem for the weekend. Plus you get a gorgeous view of the ocean and the city.

A terrific location and nicely set up apartment with a view of the ocean. This is my second stay, and I plan to return in the warmer weather to enjoy the beaches.

Very cozy space. Perfect for two people. It’s below another apartment so certainly not completely secluded but we didn’t mind! Absolutely wonderful view of the beach. Close to Salem and Boston where we were visiting.

We wanted a quick easy get away and we were delighted with Ivan’s apartment. At the outset, his warning about accessibility is correct: to go up to your car or down to the beach, you will have more than 2 dozen steps to climb. In exchange doe the effort , there is a beautiful deck the length of the apartment with a view of Naha to and over to Boston harbor. Bring your binoculars and watch the shops going into the port of Boston. The place is is comfortable and appropriately furnished. My adult son had no complaints about the sofa bed. That said, it’s a small place for 3 or more - the sofa definitely gets out away in the day. The kitchen is tiny, with a small range, a small fridge and separate small freezer. Perfectly adequate if you plan on eating dinner out as we did. Lastly, the location: loved the view of the ocean - peaceful and quiet. A few restaurants within walking distance with outdoor dining. The small beach was fun to be on and not too crowded. The water quality made it unappealing to swim in, however. We had one minor thing that we neede help with and the owner was friendly and attentive to our issue. If I were coming back to the area I would defiantly rent this place again.
