This was a very nice and quaint place to stay. I loved the wooden floors and the fireplaces. It gave this lovely place a very laid back and cozy feeling. It is conveniently located within walking distance to many bars, shops and restaurants. It was nice to see the horse-drawn carriages traveling down our street. I will definitely stay here again with my next visit to Savannah. It was definitely a very good experience.

Found the location of the "HOUSE" to be great for walking and biking into tourist areas of historic district. It was good for a short stay, but the kitchenette, was really a wet bar SMALL refrig, sink and one plug where you had to choose to use either toaster oven or coffee pot not room for both on counter at same time and access to oven. The "House" as it was advertised was an apartment from lower level of the house with possible renting of full house. The guest upstairs in the later part of our vacation had a dog, which is allowed, but their dog barked and howled every time they left, so no quietness for us. This should be a consideration by the rental company when 2 separate parties are renting the property. Couches are very close to needing replacement!

Absolutely loved this wonderful bnb! The heavy old entry door, cute front steps, the comfy four poster bed, fireplaces, the pedestal sink, mosaic tile, and sunny window in the bathroom, and the wonderful ivy covered private courtyard all charmed me. We left our car in the parking space behind the building and walked all over the historic district easily (we bought passes for the hop on-hop off trolly.) We had no noise issues at all. Check in was very easy and I really liked having a coded door rather than a key. We loved all the little squares, enjoyed the historic ice cream shop nearby and had breakfast at Two Cracked Eggs. Captain Derrick's Dolphin Tour was fantastic. It's a beautiful city, the weather was perfect, and we highly recommend this bnb.

The unit is is an excellent location, very accessible, easy walk to everything in the historic district. A couple of warnings... there’s a unit upstairs which takes pets, but you may end up listening to a dog cry for hours when their owners go out. The listening is easy because the walls are paper thin and you hear everything your neighbors say, and vice-versa.
A few maintenance items: the toilet seat needs to be tightened, the coffee pot is so low end it doesn’t have an auto shutoff, the light switch in the bedroom is a dimmer and needs replacing as it causes the overhead light to flicker and the sill of the back door could use some attention. All very minor, overall the place is in great shape though personally we’d prefer a sofa and two chairs rather than two sofas. And if there are upstairs guests get to the shower early or run the risk of no hot water.
Pretty picky, I know. I would definitely stay there again which is the main thing.

Easy access and great location. Unit was clean and nicely furnished. A microwave would have been nice. The upstairs tenants were very noisy. There needs to be a threshold placed between connecting doors for privacy and to reduce noise.

The rental was exactly as described and looked just like the pictures in the ad.
My only complaint was how much of the neighbors above me I could hear at various hours of the day and night. Aside from that noise, everything was great.
I was happy with the space, linens, and items offered for convenience. I appreciate the close proximity to the riverfront and other sites.

Great location, easy to walk to river and most attractions. Old house so floors are very noisy. Can hear people walking and talking in the rental unit above.

We always wanted to visit Savannah GA and finally had the opportunity. After looking at various hotel options, we checked into apartment rentals, booking this through VRBO. We stayed in our Oglethorpe Square Garden Apartment on York street for 3 nights and loved the location. Especially nice was the near ground floor entrance which saved us from shuffling several bags upstairs which is common for Savannah homes. The property was a great location, allowing us to walk everywhere and met our needs well. The property was generally clean and well appointed, but prior guest pet smells were a turn off. Talking with Lucky Savannah personnel remedied that as they quickly removed the rug to solve the problem. Great customer service! The bed was very comfortable too. Parking on the street and nearby parking garage was no problem. Overall, we loved our stay and will look to find another apartment rental on our next return trip to Savannah.

Park the car and have a great weekend! Apartment was close to everything. Reviews were correct could hear everything from tenants above. Lucky for us they were rather quiet. Had a little snafu at check in, someone left eggs and pizza in the frig and it was rather pungent..... we cleaned the frig and Lucky Savanna refunded some money! They were really easy to contact and communicate with. This is the second time renting from them and both places were nice and they were easy to deal with.

Best location to walk everywhere in historic Savannah. It’s a pretty nice place for two people. I could hear people walking around upstairs, but it was not bad enough to ruin our stay. My fiancé left her laptop bag with her work computer in the unit after we checked out. The management was great about shipping it to our home in Kentucky. Lovely place for the affordable price. ����

Loved this space! It was so close to everything and very spacious. With a little preparation, like bringing my own electric tea kettle, the kitchenette was not an issue. I would recommend adding a cooking tray for the toaster oven so it’s more usable for leftovers. The concierge service was excellent! They handled issues quickly, even coming out in the evening to drop something off. This was our second stay with Lucky Savannah and we haven’t regretted it yet.

The apartment itself was nice. Perfect for a short stay, Especially for us who spend most of the days exploring the town. At first everything was great. Until someone checked into the main house above us. If someone is staying above you can nearly hear every single word they say and every step taken. Not to mention the people above us had a **** spawn of a child who started running and yelling at 6-7 am every morning. So if you get lucky and no one is above it’s a great place, if little Damien is upstairs screaming bloody murder all morning, not so much.

The location is optimal for walking into the historic center! We noticed there's a bar to the right corner of the street when you walk out the front, too! The bed was comfortable, the apartment is spacious, and it is super sound-proof. It was superbly clean! We wish there were more bathmats in the bathroom, as our feet got cold, and that there was a tv in the bedroom.

We loved this little apartment! It had the charm of Savannah's historic district and was close to everything. We made a great choice and highly recommend this little apartment with its private court yard.

Location was good. Place was clean. Negatives would be, no spoons, had to move coffee maker to plug in kitchen and only one coffee filter given for a 5 night stay, coffee cups were metal so you couldn't hold hot cup, and there was a tv but you couldn't watch but 3 to 5 stations. Improvements can be made. Best thing about place was location and was able to have quite nights unlike the places closer to River street that had all the noise.

I loved my visit to Savannah! The apartment was beautifully located within walking distance of most of the places I wanted to go. The only thing that was unsatisfactory was the people in the apartment above me. The floor is very thin so I could hear everything going on up there & I swear they were wearing wooden shoes! If not for them, and the lack of sleep they caused, everything would have been perfect.

We have used Airbnb several times and have not been disappointed. This Garden apartment is in a fantastic location to getting around and enjoying Savannah. The size of the apartment was perfect for two people who don't plan to cook as there are no kitchen facilities and want to enjoy all that Savannah has to offer. Fantastic restaurants and pubs close by or within several short blocks from this apartment. I would have to say the only down side to this apartment is that you can hear all that goes on in the main house above so small children running around and playing at 7:30 in the morning may cut into beauty sleep if you stayed out the night before. Wood floors and not much noise control make it a bit noisy but we didn't spend much time there during the day.

I cant say enough about the location. Other than day trips to Tybee Island, we walked absolutely everywhere, and nowhere was more than 15 minutes away. The apartment was clean and well represented in the pictures. Sure you can hear the people above you but we were lucky that there wasn't anyone up there most days, and when there were, they were very considerate. We loved being able to take our little dog along as well - it made the trip that much more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again.

The unit was in a very good location to attractions and parking. The unit itself had a few issues. The toilet would not fill up after flushing, the court yard outside from the kitchen was dirty and needed attention we could not even sit out there for our morning coffee. The bed was very uncomfortable. The TV was up too high on the wall, not that we watched a lot of TV it was just odd.

The unit was very clean and ready on was bigger than expected. It looked exactly as pictured. I do wish it had a closet, or some other way of hanging clothes. Plenty of drawers, I just prefer to hang. Parking in Savannah was tough, but we had a meter space right outside the door and walked everywhere. Loved the location!!! You can hear the guests upstairs, but it wasn't that bad.

Staying in a historic accommodation was incomparable to any hotel. It was charming and homey. The code entry made coming and going convenient. It was immaculately clean and well stocked. It was within walking distance of everything and I felt like I was staying in a home, not a rental. I will definitely use lucky savanna again.

The apartment is very quaint and especially enjoyed the little shared courtyard area that was filled with blooming Jasmine while there. However, managment needs to pay closer attention to details for the stocking of the small amount in the kitchen; coffee maker with coffee but no mugs doesn't make for a welcoming morning cup :) as well as wine glasses without an opener :/
Also, the only lamp on the dresser did not light; making the dresser area pretty dark. Overall the accommodations were good; just a little pricy to be missing attention to basic detail.

Overall the experience was good. The property management company was easy to work with, made recommendations for restaurants and attractions. I liked the app they used. The property was a nice room, clean and convenient to all we wanted to do while in Savannah. The only downside is that the noise from the house above carries downstairs. We heard every footstep and every conversation of our upstairs neighbors. A white noise machine may be a good addition to the property.

We recently enjoyed a three night stay in this lovely apartment. The location is fantastic and the accommodations are great if you're doing little more than sleeping and slower. The property however could use some TLC. The kitchen is very tiny as stated in the property description. No glassware or wine glasses are provided. The toaster oven has been relocated from the kitchen counter to the top of the small desk in the living area. We were not comfortable making use of the oven on a wood desk, it just didn't seem like a safe idea. We suspect the relocation was due to a slightly melted outlet from the plug. The small desk is no longer usable as a desk now. The tile work in the bathroom is very old, and while housekeeping did their best, we weren't comfortable without shower shoes. The bathtub felt unstable. When showering, it felt as though the support under the tub liner was structurally deteriorating.
The sofas in the living room, were old, but comfortable. They however smelled of previous renter's dogs. Some of the sofa pillows also had feathers coming out of them. Probably not the best choice of furniture if you're going to have a dog-friendly rental.
Our stay was still pleasant, but would probably not rent this particular unit again.

This place is great! We had Oglethorpe Square just steps away. Great for our fur baby! Trolley stops are there too! Leopolds is only one street away, yum. I would suggest The Funky Brunch for a great breakfast or brunch. We enjoy Savannah a lot and it's a wonderfully pet-friendly place!

This beautiful garden apartment was centrally located and close to everything Savannah has to offer. The unit looked exactly like the pictures. It was clean and very inviting. There were just a couple issues during our stay. The front door code did not work, and we had to call. The TV was not in working order, and there was a joining door to other tenants that would not lock, and made us feel a bit vulnerable.

Every year my husband and I come to Savannah so that I can attend a conference. Instead of staying at hotels, we prefer to rent a unit to truly experience Savannah. Oglethorpe Square Garden Apartment was perfect for us and our fur babies. When we arrived everything was spotless. We had a few questions but they were promptly answered by Brooke at Lucky Savannah. Absolutely, no problems throughout our stay. I would definitely like to stay here again.

We really enjoyed the location, the comfortable bed, and our doggie's spot looking out the front window. We did have a problem with the front door sticking, but the management attended to it quickly! We rented just the bottom floor. But we could hear every word and hear every footstep of our upstairs neighbors. Location was perfect, as Oglethorpe Square was merely steps away! Beware of parking rules. We ended up with 2 tickets ($20 each). Did not read the sign about street cleaning, and did not run outside to fill meter before 9 a.m.

My husband and I went to Savannah to celebrate his birthday and decided we wanted to rent a condo or house instead of staying in a hotel. The location to City Market and River street was awesome! It's also nice to have living space instead of just a a room as you would get with a hotel. This condo is on the bottom floor and you were able to hear folks living above you - their conversations almost perfectly. Looking back, the kitchenette wasn't bad, but I think I would have preferred a full size refrigerator. Other than that, the kitchenette was fine.
Zunzi's is right down the road from here - a great lunch spot! We also did a segway tour with Segway of Savannah - our first time and definitely recommend it for a cool way to learn Savannah's history.

Lucky Savannah was wonderful, a pleasure to deal with! A rep arrived within 10 min to adjust our remote control, and Sydney responded promptly my call about parking on a Sunday. Definitely plan to rent this Garden Apartment again! It was so charming that we hated to leave! Best location (view of side of historic Owens-Thomas House, Oglethorpe Square,& President's Quarters Inn from front window). Clean, security system, old brick walls & fireplaces simply beautiful, quality stylish furnishings, track lighting in living area adds to the ambience, most comfortable bed we've had in a rental, bathroom larger than expected, relaxing shared courtyard (kept bicycles in corner). Plenty of space for clothes in dresser for two (I overpack!) plus could fit suitcases under bed. Tiny refrigerator so bring ziplocs/foil with you for carryout food, no freezer so we brought a cooler and set it outside the back door (Parkers Market on Drayton St is best place to get ice). Parking on street was no problem, but move your vehicle Friday night as we got a $25 ticket, midnight Saturday - 4:00 a.m. no cars to be parked there as street sweeper comes by. Can park in space behind courtyard if nobody is renting the Main House, please be respectful & call Lucky Savannah first. ONE AMAZING RENTAL!!!

My husband and I came to Savannah for our anniversary and a wedding. The Oglethorpe Square Garden Apartment was perfectly located for everything we wanted to do. A few reviews commented on the noise from upstairs, which is true, but because of the reviews I was aware ahead of time and it wasn't an issue for me. We brought a box fan for the bedroom and couldn't hear a thing why we slept. I requested a late check out due to the time changing and the management company responded quickly and had no problem granting us a noon departure. If we plan another trip in the future, Oglethorpe Square will definitely be our first choice. Thank you!

We loved the rental.. The location was great and made it easy with the dog for walks, go get coffee, and enjoy Savannah. This was our third time renting with Lucky Savannah, and keeps us happy. We called and asked for more towels and they were there in minutes. Only recommendation to make it perfect, would be nice to have a dedicated parking spot in the back and if there was a closet to hang clothes. We would easily rent there again, and from Lucky Savannah!

We had a great experience staying at this rental property. My husband and I were in town for a wedding and this place was the perfect location within walking distance of the wedding venue and all the festivities in downtown restaurants and shops. The apartment was clean, comfortable and a great space for having others over during the day. There is no closet and little space to hang clothes which wasn't an issue for us but just good to know before you get there. I'd definitely recommend this space to others for a nice weekend place to stay in historic Savannah.

The location of this apartment can't be beat and it was very clean and comfortable. As many noted there is no closet so be ready for that. There are some hooks in the bathroom though that can be used to hang a few items and there is plenty of drawer space. We stayed for just a few days and I can't really see staying much longer because there is a tiny dorm-size refrigerator that holds very little. No way to make ice and a toaster oven. I think a microwave would have been more helpful. While we were there the upper part of the house was rented out to a wedding party. We could hear every conversation that was going on since the door to the other unit was thin and had a large gap at the bottom. It was also noisy at times with people walking on the wood floors above us. Since we were home very little and they did not make a lot of noise late at night it didn't bother us too much.

If you have never stayed in a vacation rental, start now! This place was so much nicer than any hotel we could have booked, and cost so much less! It is great to be able to have food to save money, and a shared courtyard was a nice bonus. The only thing I would caution potential renters about, is the noise from upstairs, due to the age of the building. The location was the perfect balance of semi residential and close to everything you want to see in Savannah! I would definitely stay here again.

The only negatives about the apartment(and the reason for 4 stars)are:
Lack of a closet and no iron or board.
Residents and a dog living right above the apartment. Lots of foot and paw steps and the noise of daily living, conversations and guitar playing.
Awkward furniture in the living room with no coffee table to set your coffee....or wine.

Lots of drawer space but no hanging area. There is a bedside table and lamp on one side but not the other - so if you both like to read before sleeping it is a problem. There is a barstool that can be moved and put into service. Nice kitchenette for coffee and pastry but no cooking facilities. Private little courtyard is great and a very nice location!

We had an excellent time staying in this vacation rental. It is in a fantastic location. We hardly had to drive since almost everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. The place really felt like a home away from home. It was great having a full size living room with large couches. It allowed us to have a space to rest throughout the day without having to get back into bed. The large bathroom and kitchen area helped the place feel like a home. The only downside of the property is that you can hear your neighbors. If you happen to have people renting the space above this rental at the same time, you will be able to hear their conversations and them walking around. Otherwise, we absolutely loved this property!
