After reading all the other reviews there's not much more I can add except to reiterate what has already been said. An amazing loft, beautifully restored and very tastefully decorated. The owners have thought of everything you might need for your stay and basically laid it out for you including plenty of towels , maps, menus and a Dream Kitchen to cook in. Best location... you get the buzz of staying in historic Savannah and you're close to everything. I would highly recommend this place.... book it and I assure you, you will be as pleased as we were. Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your home - we will definitely come back just to stay here again.

Close to Everything

Except for the locals late night noise, this place is fabulous for staying in Savannah! Right upstairs from an excellent coffee house and a couple of very interesting merchants selling soaps and salts, this loft is right in the middle of it all. Ellis Square and the City Market are a block away, and Paula Deen's place is two short blocks away. From Ellis Square you can get a tour bus, a free city bus called "DOT", a underground parking garage, and the entrance to the City Market. Just beyond Ellis, continuing North, it's a short walk to River Street with good food, interesting bars, river boat cruises, all kinds of shopping choices. South takes you through a half dozen squares, and Forsyth Park - still an easy walk, not even a mile. Savannah is a walk-able city. Next time we will fly instead of driving, parking can be a hassle. The Visitor's center sells parking passes, two days is $14 and you can park on the street or in city garages without having to worry about feeding the meter every two hours at $1 an hour. The loft is open, roomy, with a very nice kitchen. Two bathrooms, closet space, lots of cabinets, comfy bed, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls. Only one floor, but there is an elevator if you want to use it. Minor down-side to being in the city - the windows allow any noises above conversation level right into the room. Garbage trucks come through the alley early morning, young people come out of the square being - well - young people after a few drinks. Someone will remind them that people are trying to sleep, but by then I was wondering if sleep would return to us. All that walking ensured that we would go back to sleep, but it's an annoyance - part of city life. On the whole, we talked about coming back to Savannah, and when we do, we will be staying at this loft. That is my endorsement - the price is fair, the space is inviting and open and comfortable. WiFi has an easy to remember password, and the appliances are top of the line. Almost forgot: the oversized shower has a shower head on both sides for time saving showering with that special someone.

Beautiful Loft and the REAL Way to Experience Savannah's Historic District

This loft is absolutely beautiful, is right in the heart of Historic Savannah, and just a short walk away from the City Market. If you go to Savannah and you don't stay at a loft like this, you really are not getting the full effect of what Savannah offers. With renting a loft, you feel like a member of the community...on top of this, it is in a safe location where you feel comfortable walking no matter what time of night it is. So, down to the details. Two elegant bathrooms as described Beautiful kitchen - stainless steel appliances - everything is very well kept The pictures for the property match it perfectly Would recommend this to anyone who visits Savannah A word of warning about Savannah restaurants: Olde Pink House - This is a tourist place and despite being #1 on certain websites, it was the absolute worst restaurant we visited on the trip. The pasta had no taste and the crabbed stuffed fish was hardly anything to brag out. I thought I'd take my wife to an expensive delicious dinner - please DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME with OLDE PINK HOUSE - I'll save you $100 with this advise for your trip! Lady & Sons - Tourist trap - Paula Dean bought a restaurant, slapped her name on it and it's not very good. Tourist Restaurants in general - most of the places on River Street are tourist restaurants and are not very good. Ask the locals and they will tell you what is good in town. THE BEST RESTAURANTS Vinnie Van Go Goghs (or something like that) - amazing pizza The Crab Shack (Tybee Island) J Christophers (Breakfast) Take a drive to Bluffton, SC and visit The Cottage - absolutely amazing and not too far away! Stuff You Have to Do: Visit the Israeli Temple (beautiful architecture and nice tour) Roundhouse Railroad Museum Rent Bikes on Tybee Island and RIDE! Walk the Old Historical Houses in Bluffton, SC This is the absolute perfect trip for a couple who enjoys relaxing. We went during November and this is the time to go during off season! Again - get a loft when you go. It's the best way to get the total effect of Savannah!

My husband and I rented the loft for six nights while visiting Savannah to attend a cross country running event. We had originally booked a room at the Inn on Ellis Square - but canceled that booking when we found this loft (price of the loft was comparable to a hotel room in the historic district). We really can't say enough about the loft. It was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay perfect and the location was literally in the middle of everything (less than 30 second walk from Ellis Square). We didn't have a car wanted to pick up some groceries. Thanks to Alice's instructions, we easily found the Kroeger by taking the free downtown shuttle to the southern most stop and then walking east about one block (we took the shuttle back home as well). If you do some shopping at Kroeger and don't have a discount/members card, one is provided in the loft. The loft was walking distance to everything in the historic district and no matter how far we wandered on foot, it never felt like you were too far away from home. We had two netbooks with us and used the internet connection in the loft daily to make plans with our friends and decide what tourist attractions to visit. Due to the loft's very central and "happening" location, there is a fair amount of noise outside on the weekend. However this issue was easily addressed with earplugs (I'm an extremely light sleeper and slept like a baby). Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would recommend this loft to anyone. We hope to return to Savannah at some point in the future and this loft will be our #1 choice when it comes to finding a place to stay.

The loft conversion has been tastefully done, with a fully equipped modern kitchen and seperate showers meaning 2 adult couples could comfortably share the space. There is a lift to floor 2 for those with mobility issues and visitors could not be closer to the art, restuarants and live music of this vibrant 'walkable' city. I fully intend to visit again.

Location - perfect! Goosefeathers for a morning latte, then a run through the many neighborhood parks turning around at the lovely fountain at Forsyth Park, lunch at Lady and Sons or Vic's on the River, shopped at Trunk 13 -- all right out our doorstep. We visited Savannah in the August heat and the loft was a kind retreat, cool and yet bright with windows everywhere. We golfed at The Club at Savannah and walked the pier at Tybee Island, even drove for the day to Charleston to shop and indulge in the coconut cake at Peninsula. Yet, we always returned to the loft for the quiet, spacious, well equipped accommodations. The leather couch, flat screen tv, two spacious, tile bathrooms and a kitchen to die for -- we spent 3 of our 4 nights "in" because it just felt right. Ssssssh...I'm thinking I shouldn't even write this because someone will take my next vacation to Savannah!! :) Only negative -- beware of parking!

This Savannah loft condo is in a perfect location -- close to every possible attraction downtown and near the Savannah College of Art and Design. It was very tastefully decorated in a sun-filled, open style (although some final touches appeared to be still in the works). It is ideal for a cook and his/her guests: wonderful counter space, lots of cookware and dishes. Our only tiny complaints were a lack of parking and that we were not advised that the clothes dryer could not deal with a full load of laundry -- we ended trekking wet clothes to the laundry. A note to the wise would have saved us the trip.

Owner response: We apreciate all the kind comments and are glad our guests continue to enjoy our central location and modern style decor. As we indicate in our online details, we do not have dedicated parking, since we are right downtown. Most of our guests use one of the nearby parking garages (half a block or two blocks away) and do not have a problem. We did not realize that the clothes dryer was not working properly and it has now been repaired - our apologies for that. We have also just had the loft painted throughout, so it should now be in perfect condition.

The loft was in the perfect location. We were very close to everything. We were able to walk to all of the popular locations including River Street. Some of our favorite spots were the Goosefeathers Bakery on Barnard Street, Wild Wing Cafe' in the courtyard market area, Cilantro's on Bay Street and Tubby's on River Street. A car is not necessary, but if you do decide to drive, the meters and local parking garages are easily accessible. The closest parking garage is the Whitaker Street garage. When you come out of the elevator, you are approximately one block from the loft. You can save on parking by purchasing the two-day visitor parking pass from the Visitor Center on M. L. King Ave. The loft was also very clean and well-maintained. The accomodations were very relaxing and cozy. If you are looking for the perfect place to stay, this is it. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Alice for everything!! .
