Anniversary Trip
We got married 4 years ago in front of the fountain in Forsyth Park and stayed in this apartment. I was excited to see it available for our anniversary and booked it again. We love the location and how cozy but spacious the unit is.

Charming space in a superb location
Absolutely beautiful street level suite. Location was amazing directly across from Forsyth Park. We walked everywhere. Locals are very welcoming and seemed to appreciate having us there in their beautiful city. The suite is adorable and much larger than we expected. King size bed was awesome and the shower was HUGE! We didn’t have a chance to take advantage of the kitchen but it seemed well appointed. Suite is quite dark which wasn’t an issue for us as we were out exploring the entire time. Parking was easy on the side street. We felt very safe in the location and I couldn’t get over how clean the city was. The only issue we had was with the renters in the upstairs, main floor suite of the house. From the sounds of it, the family had multiple small children who ran through the house screaming and jumping off of furniture. As an historic home, soundproofing was non-existent. They finally settled down around 11pm but it made falling asleep impossible. Not the owners’ fault but I hope those guests read this and realize that the behaviour of their children impacted others during their stay.

walkable Savannah location
Couldn't ask for a better location to station ourselves while in Savannah ... the adjacent Forsyth Park and it's fabulous fountain can't be missed ... the apartment is well appointed, has a strong Internet connection, and comfy bed. And thanks for the dimmers on so many light switches. The one negative is the noisy neighbors upstairs, mostly only during the early evening. Thanks for a great stay.

Close to perfect
The property was without a doubt perfect from the location to the look and feel of the apartment. The only 1 inconvenience was the first night when the residents upstairs arrived home at 12:30am then blasted karaoke until almost 2am. And due to the age of the home it’s not exactly sound proof above your head. If you can deal with the footsteps and conversation then it’s perfect. I would stay there again but I’d be more prepared.

Our stay at the Garden suite could not have been more perfect! The historic charm through the living and bedroom area was stunning. We loved the modern upgrades in the kitchen and bathroom. Being located at the edge of Forsyth park allowed us to enjoy the quiet beauty of the area and also be a short walk to so many restaurants and shops. We highly recommend this VRBO gem and can’t wait to come back.

Terribly disappointing
The description of this unit is extremely exaggerated. We left early because we were so uncomfortable. Description says things like antiques, Persian rugs, luxury linens. At best, it was furnished with flea market seconds. The condition of this apartment is old and tired. We do not feel it was accurately represented. “Luxury Linens”?! Our pillows were like wet noodles and the sheets very old and pilled. The furniture was horrendous: uncomfortable, stained, old and worn out. Only seating is an old pull out couch and a wicker lounge chair. No comfortable place to sit. The unit itself can use a thorough cleaning and new paint. This might work for weekend guests, but not for long term rentals like ours. We wanted to relax and enjoy a good book or two. Theres not one lamp useable for that purpose and apt is soooo dark. Recessed lights burnt out or not working properly. Shower stall filled will mildew. The frying pans provided were so worn they couldn’t be used for food to eat. So disappointed! The only thing that was nice was the location, but wish we had an adequate place to sit or relax outside the apt to have a drink or read. All you have is a metal bench in a narrow walkway to sit outside.

Great location across from Forsyth Park. We got there late and had no problems with checking in. We got all check in info prior for keyless entry. The bed was super soft, which for my husband was rough since having three back surgeries. He needs a firmer mattress. Just something to note.

We had a wonderful stay .
We really enjoyed our stay. The place is lovely. I have only one complaint. For the love of God, get a new mattress! The mattress is so old it's indented on both sides. It's so old it creaks like a door in an old Haunted Mansion. It reminds me of the mattresses in my great grandma's house on the farm when I was a kid. Get a new mattress!
