My familyand i have stayed in many vrbo homes and been very happy. Never had an issue until this home. Unfortunately, it has colord my feelings about salem. There was an issue that focused very much on cleanliness. We notified the owner and they did respond quickly to try and resolve everything, but my concern is that if the home had been cleaned accurately, they could not have missed the issue. Very sad because the apartment is in a great location. 20 minute walk to main part of salem. It is a 3rd floor home so be prepared for the steep, winding stairs (we knew this and not a problem). Also, if you have anyone tall in your group, avoid this location. The shower is in a location with a significant slant/angle of the ceiling and the shower head is low. I am 5'6" and it fit me perfectly, but my husband and son are over 6 ft. They had to lean the whole shower.
