Great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent location, only one block away from Forsyth Park. Furthermore, the road that runs right by the property (Abercorn) has free parking on the side nearest Forsyth.Bed was extremely comfortable, and plenty of room throughout the property. The small courtyard out back is also very beautiful.This was our sixth trip to Savannah, and probably one of our favorite VRBO's. I would suggest grabbing a sandwich at Zunzi's, and visiting the free SCAD tour about the origin of the university.My only suggestion to the property owners would be to have a better selection of condiments. They had salt, but having a few other staples (pepper, olive oil, sugar) would have been a nice touch.Would definitely stay here again.

Great base for exploring beautiful Savannah!

Gaston Garden apartment is spacious, clean, comfortable, and ideally located for exploring Savannah. Just a block from Forsyth Park and the Municipal free trolley route, you can be in the heart of the riverfront district in minutes. Getting in and out is easy, but not wheelchair-friendly. We would definitely stay there again if we had the opportunity!

Solo traveler

I had a great time and really enjoy the cozy apartment. It was the perfect location and I enjoyed the way the apartment was decorated. It felt more authentic and like old Savannah. The only thing I would request is less air fresheners. It was a bit overpowering as I'm sensitive to artificial air freshners but other than that it was perfect.

We loved Savannah

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a very cute place. Watch you head getting into it though—our vacation started with a bang :) No issues with access codes. Didn’t really use the courtyard as it was a tad confusing whether we could keep the gate unlocked, keep keys out, or had to get them out of lock box every time to access. Loved that we were 1 block away from Forsythe Park. Very clean and would definitely stay here again!!

One safety problem in the bedroom where the electric outlet was hanging out of the wall. A couple of small issues..., no ice tray in the freezer, and a broken closet door. But very close to walking all of the historic district and a Krogers very near by. The customer service was fast and helpful with a small issue on the door code.

We anticipated the apartment looking like what the Lucky Savannah website portrayed instead of what we found when we arrived.If you go back and look at the pictures on the website, they have photoshopped them portraying the apt. as being very bright, airy, and fresh.I would ask that a manager or whoever screens the properties from Lucky Savannah on Liberty Street,as you view those pictures you do so while walking through the apt. and you will see a very different picture.The lighting throughout is very dim.We suggest since the lamps all seem to be 3-way, that you use 3-way bulbs to improve the lighting.The plantings outside around the living room, while beautiful, do not allow any bright sunlight which is what you see in the photos.Please look at the tile on the floor as you enter at the bathroom door. It appears to be missed when housekeeping cleans as well as the vanity countertop and the baseboards throughout the apt. The Swiffer isn’t doing a thorough cleaning job. If you open the door to the laundry area, the mold smell is overwhelming.Outside the front door area needs a much brighter light to not only allow you to see the keypad better, but also to be more inviting.That area also is mosquito heaven bc of moisture retention which also causes mold buildup. The sitting area under the deck could be more welcoming if it were cleaned and arranged. There were chairs in front yard but you couldn’t sit in them bc they were under shrubbery in flower beds. Extremely disappointed.

February stay in Savannah

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: good location, large apartment. Good supply of dishes, pans, etc in kitchen.Cons: Lock on the gate was difficult to open and I would never have opened it without help (a former employee on site by chance was able to assist). Light by front door was out on arrival and flashed continuously for 2 days. Maintenance person came but light failed again 2 hrs later. Lucky Savannah did not respond to maintenance requests sent via their app or via email. A running race in the neighborhood closed roads on day I had to go to the airport; it would have been helpful to have a 'heads up' on that.Kitchen had no cabinet to store non-refrigerated food and no staples (one packet of coffee but no sweetener or creamer, no spices, etc). Ice maker not working.

Quiet, clean, lovely place. I had to make reservations within a 10-minute time frame as my mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly. This beautiful garden-home was so much better than a hotel. Gave my husband and I some much needed quiet time everything we had to deal with during the week. Will definitely stay here again

Amazing Location

Our stay at the VRBO in Savannah was a mixed experience. Let's start with the positives: you couldn't ask for a better location. The space was generously sized, perfect for two people, with a full living room and a separate bedroom featuring a very comfortable king-sized bed. The kitchen was ample and well-equipped for cooking, which we enjoyed during our stay.However, upon entering, we were greeted by a musty smell that resembled rotten fruit. Concerned about my asthma, I contacted the property management right away. To their credit, they responded promptly, providing us with a dehumidifier and a standing fan to improve air circulation. Despite emptying the dehumidifier three times a day, the musty smell persisted. It seems Savannah's recent heavy rains had caused moisture issues, including a soaking wet rug near the entryway, which was promptly removed by the property management.There was also a minor issue with water seeping through the grout lines in the floors, which was a bit concerning. Despite these challenges, we managed to tolerate the smell without triggering any asthma symptoms, thankfully.In conclusion, while the location and spaciousness of the VRBO were excellent, the persistent musty smell due to moisture issues detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay. With some attention to these maintenance issues, this could be a fantastic place to stay in Savannah.p,s, is the space under the stairs outside / for guests to use? We were never clear.
