8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
3.5 Stars. Host was welcoming and amenities were good but it’s an old house and I wish you could use the fireplace. Couches are very uncomfortable and bathrooms are small. Good location next to public transportation to both Salem and Boston.

Beautifully done home with terrific personal touches and loads of amenities. Spacious rooms, friendly and responsive hosts. Manchester is the perfect location, right in the midst of the North Shore’s favorite locales including the best lobsters and clams. We hope to return!
