Excellent location! We had a lovely stay.

We booked this stay expecting something comfortable and quiet. That’s not what we got. There were noise issues across multiple nights. There was also a leak coming from the ceiling inside the unit. We could hear water leaking all night. It made it very hard to sleep. Towels had to be put down to manage the water and prevent further damage. What should have been a relaxing stay turned into something stressful. What’s most disappointing is how this was handled. The resolution offered didn’t reflect how serious or ongoing the issues were. Communication also stopped while we were trying to resolve it. Airbnb is still involved. Saying this has never happened before doesn’t change anything. It happened during our stay. It affected our experience in a big way. For the price we paid, this did not meet basic expectations. I would strongly urge future guests to think twice before booking.

I love immersing myself in Savannahs historic district and this place does just that! Beautiful location with many fantastic restaurants that are easily walkable. The coffee shop next door is fantastic to grab a cup of coffee. I always found a parking spot (remember it is all paid parking) and spent most of my time walking to where I wanted to go. The apartment was larger than I anticipated and well maintained. It was a good place to be.

This is a wonderful studio apartment in the heart of Savannah’s historic district. You could not ask for a more perfect location. Brandon and Chase are excellent communicators and extremely responsive. They gave great suggestions for restaurants and art venues as well. I highly recommend this place — it was a comfortable home away from home for me.

Great stay! Perfect location, right in the middle of downtown. 12 min walk to River St and 12 min walk to Forsyth park. A booklet of recommendations were on a table to help guide! Only thing to take note of, there is an apartment right next door and the sound travels through the walls. (Complimentary ear plugs were provided ) Street parking was very simple and easy!

We had a great stay at Brandon and Chase’s place in Savannah this weekend. The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of the Historic District an amazing location with easy walking access to downtown, restaurants, shops, and everything you’d want to see in historic Savannah. The apartment itself was very nice, cute, and comfortable, and being able to park right in front was a huge bonus. The only issue we experienced was that the combo washer/dryer didn’t work properly, but aside from that, everything was excellent. Overall, it was a great stay and we’d absolutely recommend this place. Thank you
