Propert is very well represented by pictures and description. It is clean and much more comfortable than a motel.There is a bit of a walk to City Market and River Street, but we enjoyed the walks each day. Clary's Cafe is a couple of blocks away and was great for an inexpensive breakfast.We enjoyed Crystal Beer Parlor down on W JonesSt for lunch although you don't hear as much about it. It was a hidden gem.Tybee Lighthouse and Ft Pulaski were also a great trip about 20 minutes away.

Quaint Ground Level Apartment

Review Submitted 03/28/13

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is just outside of the historic district but easily accessible to all places in Savannah. Nicely decorated and well-kept. Very clean. Used the bedroom and pullout bed. Both were adequate.

Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

Owner response: Just to clarify, this address is within the official boundary of the Historic District not "just outside" it as this review states. This person must be referring to the heavily trafficked commercial area of the Historic District, which we are slightly removed from by about 0.3 miles. Jones Street is more of a residential street, particularly this block which means parking is actually easy which is a good thing for anyone who wants to use their car during their stay. Some streets in the Historic District are nearly all stores, restaurants and bars. If you would like to stay in the center of the commercial area please call me as I do have several rentals on Broughton Street.

We stayed only one night on our way to Florida, then again on the way home. Apartment was very convenient, clean and comfortable. Though we were not there long enough to use all of it's advantages it is nicely set up for a longer stay.

We had a wonderful time in this delightful and well located apartment. Mary was very helpful in setting this up. My husband and myself felt very comfortable. The bed was great and the kitchen well appointed. The bathroom was clean. It's an old building so you can't expect an absolutely new look. We loved our time there. We felt bad the weather wasn't good enough to go out and enjoy the lovely patio.

The townhome was very clean and decorated nicely. We were able to walk to most places, very close to Forsyth Park. Mary was very accomodating especially since our two night stay was kinda planned last minute. She also left us a bottle of wine which was a nice touch. Patio was nice, don't be surprised if a cat drops in to visit while sitting out there. We also had one follow us home one night and he seemed to enjoy the patio as well as he stayed out there all night!

Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: Now that's the kind of title I am trying to get on my reviews, thank you SO much. I have noticed other guest comments in our book about the cat. I am sorry about that but I assure everyone with allergies/aversions that there have never been any cats inside. A neighbor's outdoor cat seems to love our patio and has great fence climbing skills! We have someone blow off the patio weekly and he blows off the furniture with a high powered machine to clean the cushions.

We arrived in Savannah and found the house in perfect condition. It is tastefully decorated, secure and conveniently located! The apartment was sparkling clean. Upon arrival, we set out on foot and found some wonderful shops and restaurants just around the corner. Our bed was very comfortable and the location was quiet despite it's convenience. The owner was attentive to our needs and very helpful with recommendations regarding places to go and things to see. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We would strongly recommend this property and intend to make this our regular spot when travelling to Savannah!

Comfy lodging in the Historic District....

Review Submitted 01/07/13

My son, dtr in law and I stayed for 4 nites over the New Year at this comfortable, well appointed 1 bedroom w/fold out couch in the living room, and we had a wonderful time. The king bed was soooo comfortable, and my son and dtr in law stated the sofa bed was also. We walked almost everywhere, even though it was chilly during the day, cold at night. We had everything we needed during our stay except for groceries, and wine of course... I had my coffee each morning on the back patio w/the sun keeping me warm, a wonderful start to my day. And, we had our champagne cheers on that patio during the evening of New Year's Eve, before heading down to River Street to bring in the New Year. The historic district, Bonaventure Cemetery, a meal at the Pirate's House, walking through the squares, a carriage ride, etc, etc. shouldn't be missed. The fireworks on the River was awesome, and the music wherever we were was wonderful. Thank you Mary for offering a great place for us to come and visit Savannah. Even though we didn't meet, I enjoyed talking w/you on the phone before our visit.

Owner response: Great! Thank you for addressing the comfort of the pullout bed. I get asked about it frequently and having not slept on it myself I just tell people it is new and brand-name but still a sofa bed. This review should reassure those who plan to use the sleeper sofa that is indeed comfortable. And despite the cold weather I am so glad you enjoyed that patio!

Disappointed in propertyI

Guest wade
Date of stay 12/22/12
Review Submitted 12/30/12

The renovations are poorly done and the window in the bathroom was thick with dirt , the bathroom tub fixture was so flimsy when you left the knob for the shower the hold spicket liffted. The water pressure was low in shower and there needs to be better lighting in the bathroom for makeup/shaving and etc. Also there needs to be some soundproofing between the upstairs and downstairs units. I could hear everything upstairs and when we were there a large party with small running children ran for the whole time we were there. They got up early running and went to bed running which made it not so relaxing for us. The kitchen door looks nasty and as if someone forgot to paint it. I love character but clean looking character. The other complaint I had was there are no comfortable seats in the house. The chairs are weak at the dining table area, the light had blown in there so it was dark, the couch nor the chairs in the living room area are very comfortable for long term siting. The location was great and Savannah was a beautiful city. I also think an outside grill would be nice to make available for the downstair renter. I hope you can appreciate some of my constructive criticism but as a 57 year old person when renting for a week cleanliness and comfort are really important factors. As is I would not recommend to anyone.

Owner response: Considering the long history of happy guests we've had in this property, I am saddened and surprised to read this review. The previous week my own parents stayed in the apartment and they did not tell us about any problems, but they did say they loved the newly renovated bathroom. Had I been contacted by this guest about anything at all, for example the bulb being out in the dining room, I would have been right over to fix the problem. The sofa has had rave reviews from everyone else who has mentioned it. It is extremely comfortable to sit on and although most sleeper sofas are not quite as comfortable as regular ones you can barely tell this is a sleeper because the cushions are so thick. The 2nd small sofa in the bedroom has been complimented regarding its comfort as well. And the wooden dining chairs were chosen because a local restaurant, The Starland Cafe, uses them. I know that noise from upstairs is not normally a problem because we lived upstairs full time with our own small child for a year while renting this apartment on VRBO and received no complaints about noise, had repeat guests and all good reviews- as you can see further down the list- during that time. This reviewer's stay was over Dec 25 and there was very cold weather which probably kept both the upstairs guests (who did have young children excited for Christmas) and this downstairs guest indoors more than usual. We indeed do not have a grill, as was disclosed to this guest directly and on the listing- that choice is for safety reasons primarily but also because we normally do not charge for the cleaning fee and asking our maid, who is rightfully focussed on linen changing, surface sanitizing, dusting, etc. to also clean a grill would eliminate our ability to absorb the cost of cleaning between guests. Immediately after reading this review we did go to clean the window and door and found them to be not dirty but not as freshly painted as the rest of the apartment. The window is original from 1875 so it has some imperfections. We sanded both items down and repainted them. I'm glad that (even under the scrutiny of this particular guest) one door and one window were the only unclean looking items since cleaning is our biggest focus. I do appreciate those items being mentioned since now I feel good about them being impeccably painted for our busy season which is starting now. I live less than 5 miles away and can attend to anything easily and I care a lot about keeping things nice.

Two middle aged ladies on their annual get-a-way. This was our first time to Savannah and what a wonderful experience we had. The apartment is exactly as the pictures show, such a lovely place, on a lovely street,and the patio is such an asset to the apartment. We walked everywhere except the grocery store. The Trolleys are so much fun and the Guides (drivers) make the ride even more enjoyable by throwing their personalities into telling the history of the City. We definitely recommend the "Walking Foody Tour". We were there for one week and couldn't even begin to get everything there is to do done in that time, we are definitely coming back and hopefully that will be next year. Loved the apartment and the City. We highly recommend this apartment!

This was perfect for what I was looking for. I stayed in the aprtment alon a couple of nights then was met by my husband and kid for the last couple. I felt part of Savannah being in the Historic District. It was a very accessible location to the river and restaurants. Having a bike there was also a great way to get around. Working with Mary while renting the appartment was a delight. She was always accessible and willing to share any information about what to do during our stay. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. I loved sitting on the back patio on the afternoon. I would definately stay here again.

This was our second time staying at this lovely apartment. We loved it so much the first time, we came back! It is very clean and well maintained. We were able to walk everywhere. We were able to walk downtown to Riverstreet and City Market. We love Mrs. Wilkes, which is on this same street (and yes we ate there this time)!! Also, Clary's is just around the corner...great breakfast place! This trip was for our anniversary and it was wonderful. It was so nice coming "home" after a long day out. We stayed here in January and were not able to sit on the back porch...too cold for me :-) This time, we were able to sit out back both evenings and enjoy it. Thanks for opening up your home to us! We will be back!

This was one of the best vrbo vacation's we've had (we've used vrbo approximately 6 times so far). The place was adorable, and better than expected. Mary, the owner, was extremely easy to work with, very accommodating, and super kind. I've recommended this place to my mother... she'll love it just as much as we did! Overall an excellent experience!!! Thank you Mary!!!!

The ground floor unit was just what we needed. The owner was most accommodating with our last minute request to stay there. King bed was comfortable, kitchen was very handy, pull out sleeper sofa was great for our son, and we felt very safe in the area. This unit had exactly what we needed for a quick getaway. Thanks Mary!

My husband and I stayed here for our Wedding Anniversary. We had such a lovely trip, and the apartment was perfect for us! Very nicely decorated, and convenient to all of the historic district. There was a Kroger and a beverage store within walking distance. We were able to walk to River Street and enjoy Savannah's lovely squares. The apartment is about a 20 minute drive to Tybee Island, and we visited the beach one afternoon. We had breakfast each morning on the lovely patio before starting our day. The bed was comfortable, and the washer and dryer were new and worked perfectly for washing our beach towels. Jones Street truly is a one of the prettiest streets in Savannah, and we certainly enjoyed having this apartment to come home to during our trip! Mary was a pleasure to work with, and was prompt to answer emails and phone calls. Thanks Mary!

This was our first visit to Savannah and we had a great time. We walked everywhere we went and enjoyed the beautiful landscape of Jones St and the surrounding streets. The apartment was just as it was described. Mary was very accomodating and helpful answering all our questions. We ate at Clarys both mornings for breakfast. It was very good. We took The Old Time Trolley all day on and off tour and saw many historical sites. We plan on going back and will try to stay here again.

We rented a garden apartment on Jones St, which was voted by Southern Living and Better Homes and Gardens as the "Prettiest Street in America". Both the apartment and the street were impressive. The apartment had a lot of amenities and the location allowed us to walk to everything. The car did not move until the 4th day when we ventured out to Bonaventure Cemetery. The pictures of the property gave a good sense of the property. It was clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. The owner was very easy to deal with and promptly responded to any questions that we had.

Excellent place! We had an amazing family getaway in Savannah for 5 days. The garden apartment was beyond perfect and located on such a great street for walking. Everything was in great working order and I slept so good in the oversized king bed. So comfortable! It truely was better than any hotel and the owner was wonderful to work with and always available. If your looking for a comfortable, good location Jones St is the place to stay. We will be back for sure!

Fine but below our expectations

Guest Shmy
Date of stay 02/29/12
Review Submitted 03/02/12

With all of the rave reviews, we had high expectations. We thought the apartment was fine, nothing more. Centrally located but not the quaint part of Jones St. The photos were accurate, but there were a couple things not captured by the photos: the water pressure is bad (you can't flush the toilet or take a shower if the washer is on), the dryer took 3 runs to dry our clothes, the shower curtain had mold, and there's no dining area. We enjoyed our stay but it wasn't at the standard we expected for nearly all 5 star reviews.

Owner response: We have had so many extremely happy guests and that is certainly how we want everyone to feel! Since this review we have completed the bathroom renovation. The entirely new fixtures (tub/shower, vanity, toilet, light and mirror) are gorgeous. The dryer, which was less than 6 months old, has been upgraded to the fastest model available and a higher end washer is also in place to ensure the best laundry experience possible. I think all the other guests' reviews being more "stars" is a reflection of the overall value, cleanliness, and convenience of this apartment as well as the memory of a genuinely pleasant stay. PS we have now opened up a bonus room and made it into a dining room.

Visited Savannah for an anniversary weekend getaway and to participate in the Rock 'n Roll Marathon. Location was perfect for the race events as well as sightseeing in the historical district. Convenient to restaurants, entertainment and grocery -- we walked everywhere. All the luxuries of a fine hotel with a wonderful at home feel. Kitchen was complete with items we needed for a picnic in the park. Loved that we had space to spread out and the use of the washer and dryer were extremely helpful in not having to pack sweaty race gear in the suitcase! Homeowners were very helpful and accommodating -- I recommend this to everyone and I can not wait to return!

I really enjoyed my week at Mary’s lovely apartment. I had a great time in Savannah. This was the perfect location (as I did not have a car)! It truly is within walking distance of everything in the Historic District. The apartment was just as advertised, clean, convenient, comfortable. Having a washer and dryer was fantastic. And Mary was the perfect landlord - so helpful but not intrusive. She even helped me to get a battery for my camera! The apartment is a very comfortable home away from home. Thanks, Mary!

We just stayed at this lovely garden apartment for our honeymoon and it was fabulous! If you want to stay somewhere and really feel Savannah this is the place. This was our first trip to Savannah. The location is absolutely wonderful for a quiet couples retreat. This place is on the most beautiful street in the South. It is close enough to walk to anything in the historic district but far enough away from the traffic and busy streets to really relax. Clary's Cafe is just a couple of blocks over and we ate breakfast there every morning. Delicious! There's also a Kroger very close in case you need to get anything to whip up in the kitchen. Also, parking was not a problem for us. It is on the street but we always got to park right out front and it was very convenient. Mary was great to work with and we will definitely look at staying here again for our anniversaries!

Fantastic Garden Apartment

Review Submitted 05/10/11

Stayed in this beautiful garden apartment in April. The house is in the historic district and is decorated beautifully. They were building a court yard which will be great to sit and have morning coffee. We drove to Savannah but just parked our car and was able to walk to the main street in Savannah (3/4 mi) and 1 mile to the riverfront. Mary had maps and recommendations for places to visit and eat which were all great. Walked down Habersham street to the main street. Had lots of beautiful historic homes and there were parks along the way so you could rest or just enjoy the scenery. By doing all the walking could justify having ice cream at Leopolds (think that was the name) on the main street. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and Mary was kind enough to leave a bottle of champagne in the frig for us to enjoy. We felt very safe walking at night, nice neighborhood. Ate at the Firefly restaurant (which Mary recommended) which was just 1/4 mile from house. Very small venue but great food and good service. Definitely would recommend staying here and we will definitely stay again on our next visit to Savannah.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment during our long Savannah weekend! Everything is so easy to get to from here, including Tybee Beach (just a short 30 minute drive away). Everything you'd like to see is within walking distance and Jones Street is beautiful. The apartment was great as well with plenty of room for both of us and our six month old. Mary was incredibly helpful and even loaned us a pack-and-play for our child. This was definitely above and beyond what we expected. The guidebook provided helped us to find some great places to visit along with giving us the "essentials" like where to find the Kroger! We would definitely consider staying here again if we ever want to see more of Savannah...and there would be so much more considering how much there is there.

My husband and I have spent a recent overnight at 505 East Jones Street Garden Level and have found the same peace and quiet of our other visits there. It is especially nice to unload our luggage at the curb and roll it right through the front door with no stairs to climb either coming or going. Once inside we are met with the interesting details of this historic building and its lovely antique fireplace mantels, massive moldings and the rare heart pine floors of another era, all carried through in perfect harmony with the upper levels which the young owners occupy. The owners share their artistic skills in their use of colors in decorating and in the variety of artwork displayed throughout. Combined with the fascination of the neighborhood and its multiplicity of restaurants and sightseeing opportunities, it is, for us, a perfect place to begin a new round of explorations and events. Among other things, we love to walk along the cobblestone pathways by the Savannah River where there are shops and eateries and often a massive tanker making its way through the water in this increasingly important port city. It is just one of many ways to enjoy the convenience and comforts of this "close-in" location.
