We drove about 40 min to Silver Falls park so hikes were accessible by this location too. The apartment was clean and well stocked from headache pills to shampoo and conditioner. We watched Netflix on TV at night to wind down. I would highly recommend this apartment if you're staying in Salem. ##### Raquel C.

However, it is very noisy at night in the bedroom facing the street. It was very hard to get any sleep as the noise did not stop until 2 am. We did try the ear plugs provided by the host but that was not enough to drown out the noise. ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kennard K. 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Cozy family apartment! The apartment is a very nice place to stay for a family! The city is very alive during the day with many places to visit. At night, the vibe changes and becomes louder. We were back in by 730 but could hear the noise. If we knew that the parking structure was not safe at night we would not have parked there because when we woke up Saturday morning, our window of our van was busted out. Truly bummer of our trip, we no longer felt safe and left early. Salem is a beautiful city to stay for the day but not sure if we will stay through the night again. ##### Kennard K.

It was only 1 mile from the show site and the parking garage was a convenient place to park for free. The apartment is super clean and comfortable with everything you need and no extra clutter. We made all our own meals and were so happy we did not have to buy staples like butter, mayo or spices. The place is very well stocked with all cooking supplies. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again! ##### Rodi L.

The apartment was great! We enjoyed the air conditioning on this 100° weekend. The couch and the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. They even had good quality laundry detergent and a closet with first aid supplies. There are so many shops and restaurants, and a festival was going on at the waterfront which was only a short walk away. The Willamette Valley Vineyards was a 20 minute drive and offered tasty wines and a spectacular view. We will definitely be back! ##### Kim H.

They supplied everything you can think of and then some. The flat was very, very, clean. I was initially concerned about the neighborhood because there is a lot of transients moving around the area, but we didn't encounter any problems. It's close to a beautiful park with an adorable caurosel as well as cute boutique shops. The restaurants we tried that were close were mid, but find ##### Samantha O.
