Location, location, location!! This is a perfect place to base out of for your trip to the greater Boston area. We chose this place due to the access to the commuter rail. It is literally 3 minutes away. We spent several days exploring Salem and several exploring Boston. It was the perfect location. The check-in a stay were easy. Great communication from the host. The place was super clean. There isn’t a grocery near by, but there are a couple of close restaurants. Also, the beach is a nice 10-15 minute walk that felt very safe and was so easy to navigate.
