Unsatisfactory- Had to leave early
I cannot understand all the highly rated reviews of this property - I think the 2, 4, and 6-star reviews are realistic assessments of this place. We booked it for a long stay in January 2025, but I was nervous based on those low reviews, so we booked for three nights in October 2024 to make sure it would be satisfactory. It was not. The complete deal-breaker was the bed - it appears to be some kind of memory foam mattress, so you kind of “stick” to it, and it sags so badly in the middle that I found myself “throwing” one leg over the side to keep from falling into the center. Our backs hurt so badly after two nights that we left a day early. The comments about flea-market furniture are accurate. There is one tiny table whose top wobbles so badly that you can barely use it. It has two cane chairs whose bottoms are about to fall through, hidden by old cushions. The couch is an old sleeper sofa, which is also very uncomfortable. The toilet leaked when you flushed it, which apparently previous guests had noted. How this is a problem whose fix could be delayed is beyond me - disgusting. The price is right, and we were able to bring our dog, but those are the only positive things about this property. It is rented for most days of every month, so it seems to me that there should be plenty of money coming in to update it. It sounds like the furniture is the same now that was complained about in the 2022/2023 reviews. Could be a nice place if completely remodeled.

Convenient to park hard to find parking. Mattress was pretty much un sleepable. Had a terrible backache everyday. Got locked out of our room for 3 hours our last night. Had to wait outside for a locksmith.

Fantastic “antique” vibe. Could not ask for a better location. Comfy bed. Handy kitchen. Only four stars because it needs a working dehumidifier and the bathroom could use paint top to bottom.

Weekend Getaway
This VRBO was perfect for a weekend getaway. The accommodations were clean and within walking distance of almost all attractions. We particularly enjoyed being directly across the street from Forsyth Park. Our host was a great communicator and left us a list of recommended places to visit/eat. We would definitely consider staying at this location the next time we are in town!

Taste of Savannah
Forsythe Park is truly steps away - directly across the street. We loved being able to take a very short walk into the park with our dog to enjoy a fantastic breakfast at Collins Quarter. Shops, restaurants, the squares were all so accessible. We had a family emergency that created some challenges with our schedule and our hostess was so helpful. Communication was quick and easy. Parking around the corner was easy. We loved the location and the apartment is charming. The bed was cozy, there are books and tv for down time and the bed was comfy. Bathroom is small.

This is such a great location in a charming area next to one of the main squares in Savannah. It was great to be able to walk to restaurants and city sites all weekend! The condo was spacious and had all the amenities. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Quirky and Quaint
This place is really cute and very centrally located. It is about a 20 minute walk to River Street so just close enough to join the festivities but far enough away to enjoy the tranquility of Forsyth Park. It was relaxing to sit on the porch and watch people walk by in the mornings before starting the day. However, just a few things to note…when we arrived the unit was pitch black with just the TV on which I found odd. Second, the unit smelled extremely moldy and musty which was not desirable at all. We figured out it was coming from the HVAC unit and we turned it off. The HVAC unit needs to be replaced. It was filled with black dust and mildew. Thankfully the weather was cool enough so we did not need it. Third, the unit lacks light. The light bulbs are so dim. We ended up opening all the shutters to allow light in because there was never enough light. We were practically eating in the dark one night. Lastly, I wish the owners would put a little more “love” into this unit. It was so dark and dingy. They could really spruce it up with some good lighting, more modern decor and better furnishings/bedding. All in all, I would stay here again because of the location but I have seen other reviewers mentioning the same things I have and I would hope the owners take this/these reviews into consideration because the space and location are very darling.

Cozy getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay. This location may be the closest available to the Forsyth Park fountain in a very safe and beautiful area. The apartment was well-apportioned and very comfortable for two, and we never had a problem finding parking. The two minor complaints are the internet was excruciatingly slow and the dehumidifier and AC units were quite loud (the small space amplifies the sound). A very charming place to stay in Savannah!
