"All staff were very cordial. The rooms and grounds were great. Our only issue this trip was that our TV remote was not working properly (and should be replaced) and the continental breakfast was "first come first served.""

Great Space to be Together and Spread out

10/10 Excellent

"A very spacious comfortable apartment. Plenty of room. Stairs are a little steep so not handicap friendly and can never be. Route 1A is a little busy especially for the morning commute but neighborhood seems safe and there is a lovely yard. If you want to lock the outside door you have to use the key. Any needs or wants are addressed immediately Not that there were many."

We were very comfortable in this space!The apartment is within walking distance to the commuter rail and the most adorable downtown area. There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from if you don’t want to take advantage of the well stocked kitchen.Communication with Ahmad was clear and very prompt. Checkout was fast and easy.

"I found Ahmad’s place the day of our trip and booked just hours before arriving, and it truly couldn’t have worked out better. Ahmad was super responsive and very accommodating, and communicated with us throughout. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.The apartment was awesome. Very clean, organized, well-stocked, and the perfect setup for our stay. It’s in a nice, quiet neighborhood, yet within minutes of everything in town, with the train station right at the end of the road and parking on premises.The location was perfect for us and very central to Salem, Rockport, Newburyport, and so many of the places we love to frequent in the area.We enjoyed it so much that I already tried to book again for a few weeks from now, but unfortunately he’s already booked! We’re really looking forward to staying here again in the future.Thanks so much, Ahmad!"
