My husband and I stayed here for our 25 anniversary. Everything about our stay was perfect! The bed was extremely comfortable! Great location right across from Forsyth Park. Extremely clean and comfortable accommodations. Within walking distance of most things we wanted to see and do. The host was amazing to work with and check-in/check-out process was a breeze! We will definitely return to Savannah and would love to stay here again!
My daughter and I had a lovely 3 day getaway in Savannah. The property was even better than advertised! It was easy to feel at home. Deb was super helpful. We will definitely book this home again!
Cozy and lovely space right by Forsyth Park. If you're looking for a hotel experience, this may not be the spot for you, but if you appreciate the historic feel of Savannah and want a similar space that feels like a home away from home, this is perfect! Loved having the full kitchen and location couldn't be better.There's a great cafe that is a short walk in the park. Walking thru Forsyth for breakfast was a great start to each day. Everything I wanted to do was either walkable or a quick bus ride. I think I used my car once thru my stay.Host was very helpful in sharing suggestions for great restaurants and things to do. Will absolutely stay here again on my next visit.
This is a great property across from Forsyth Park and right on the free trolley transit system. The place is beautiful and cozy and just what we wanted. Great host and all our needs were met. I recommend this for any stay in Savannah, GA.
Loved the location! Usually pics make a space look bigger, this one however, was actually larger in person. Oh, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil on the DVD player - an EXCELLENT touch!
Deborah is fantastic to work with, it was the perfect place for my husband and me, right across from Forsyth Park. A quiet setting if you want to be away from the more active river area. Yet still close enough to walk to the river and all that’s happening in between and all the pocket parks. The location is just perfect. The only downside is whatever time the people upstairs get up is when you get up. Understandably, an old home and not much sound barrier between the two floors. Everything else is absolutely perfect!
Had a lovely stay in the Garden Suite…perfect location for visiting Savannah. Garden Suite was perfect mixture of historical charm with modern amenities. The location was great for walking thru the historical district and enjoying what Savannah has to offer…
We stayed only two nights at this property. The property is on the ground level, but be aware the property has many single or half steps up and down inside going from room to room. If this was mentioned in the description, I missed it. It wasn't a big deal for my husband and I, but others might want to know this. The apartment has all the comforts needed, but is quite dark inside. Good for sleeping. The location was perfect as we went walking around the park each morning.
This property is in a wonderful location and is very lovely! This is one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on and the location is amazing! It is right across from Forsythe Park and a block from Merce-Williams house! Would absolutely stay here again!
The location was excellent—very convenient—and the place was clean with a well-equipped kitchen. The pool was a nice feature, even though I didn’t get the chance to use it. Parking was easy enough; while the instructions mention a numbered space, there aren’t actually numbers, but the signage makes it clear where to park.Some areas could use improvement. The bed was extremely tall, with a memory foam topper not shown in the photos. It required a set of steps to climb in and out of, which isn’t practical—especially for older guests—and the topper made it sleep very hot. It was also too soft for my husband’s comfort. During our three-night stay, we saw two roaches. I understand bugs are common in Savannah, but having spray available would help. The Glade plug-ins were overpowering, and although there was a dehumidifier, the space would really benefit from an air purifier. My husband and daughter’s allergies were triggered, and my clothes smelled musty afterward. In the bathroom, the shower window shade had pink mildew—frosted glass film would be a cleaner option.Overall, the stay was convenient and had some nice features, but updates to the bed, air quality, and bathroom details would make a big difference.
We stayed 3 nights with our toddler. Loved the space. Alot more spacious than pictures do it justice. Loved the shower. Great water pressure. Ladies bring a shower cap as it is hard to not wet your hair in a rain shower but it felt very nice. We enjoyed the savannah children's museum, Forsyth park,tybee isand, river street and everything in between. Was so glad to find my favorite book store had not closed but had just moved. Books on bay now on abercorn street. Had some wonderful food at clarys across the road from the book store as well as savannah seafood shack, A taco affair, collins quarter at forsyth and treylor parch beach party in tybee.
The property was great. We could've walked everywhere except for the snow and ice. But, even that added to the adventure. We loved our stay!
