The house is over 100 years old. This 3rd floor apartment was recently renovated to have a clean, modern feel while retaining its New England charm. The Space: This 3rd floor apartment includes three spacious bedrooms and a small kitchenette / dining area. The kitchenette that includes a two burner induction cook-top and microwave as well as all items that you will need for cooking, including a tea and coffee maker. Please note that there is no oven in the kitchen. Two bedrooms are equipped with queen size beds and one is equipped with two twin beds. This apartment doesn't have a living room. The staircase is not steep or long, however it might be challenging if you are with elderly people, small children or are carrying very heavy luggage. The apartment contains an iron, ironing board and blow dryer for your convenience. We like to make your stay as easy as possible so can provide anything else (within reason) that helps you enjoy the apartment. Guest Access: Check-in is seamless and can happen very late into the evening, making your arrival experience hassle free. Parking in Salem can be tough to find -- especially in the evenings, weekends and during peak season. Parking at the apartment is not guaranteed. There is one off-street spot that is shared by all of our three apartments. It is available daily on a first-come first-serve basis. For convenience and security, some guests prefer covered parking in a garage. There is a garage that is located a 7-minute walk away from our property. The garage is called the South Harbor Garage at 10 Congress Street. The Neighborhood: The immediately surrounding area is up-and-coming: It is a high-energy, and diverse mostly Hispanic working class neighborhood. You'll get an authentic flavor of the area and be in proximity of lots of restaurants and beaches. We assume that some families may shy away from a local feeling, working class neighborhood, whereas others are even more excited by the local experience. On summer weekends, the immediately surrounding area can be lively and festive. This energy will be fun for most visitors, but others may find the area to be on the loud side. If you are a delicate sleeper that does not like a lot of sound and noise this location may not be good for you.
