Savannah, Georgia
Fully Furnished/utilities Included: wifi, electric, water/trash
This Duplex in historic downtown Savannah was built in 1910 and renovated in 2006. It's homey & cozy, with simple comforts for those of us who don't need brass door knobs and chandeliers to be happy. This was a vacation short-term rental until the City shut me down. Now I can only rent it for 30 day minimum stays. There are lock boxes outside the front doors for your convenience in checking in and out. A key for your use is inside so you can keep the spare in the lock-box.
This apartment has a queen bed in the main bedroom. And trundle-twin beds in the small bedroom. I've recently pulled the trundle twin beds apart for easier access to both beds. This necessitated that the hall door come off. But the room is at the end of a side hall which provides visual privacy, just not so much sound or energetic privacy.
The living/dining and kitchen areas are combined in one large room. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, cooking and eating ware. The bathroom has a shower within the claw-foot tub. PLEASE be careful upon entering and exiting the tub. If you are not very agile, this may not be the right fit for you. Place your hands on both sides of the tub to evenly distribute your weight as you get in and out.
Bed linens & towels are provided.
We're strong believers in conservation of resources, recycling, & composting. So towards that end, the AC thermostat is set to 78 degrees, which is very comfortable in Savannah's hot summers. Any cooler than that and you go into shock when you step outside! And 66 degrees in the winter. If you want it different than that, please change it to a more conservative setting when you leave for the day and when you check out.
The back yard is relatively large and fenced in. In the hot summer months expect mosquitoes, especially in lush and shady environments, like my back yard.
There is a train track nearby, but train runs only during the day (sometimes as early as 5:30a.m., but not predictably.) For a reasonably active person, it's an easy walking distance to all downtown sites of interest and businesses 1.5 Mile to river street taking the scenic route up Bull St., it's1/2 mile to Bull street. Also has handy access to public transportation Including a free D.O.T. shuttle & ferry boat system
We are so grateful to have found this home to stay in while awaiting the completion of our new home. Kelly is fantastic! She was very understanding of our needs and accommodated our flexible timeline by extending our stay twice! The house is humbly charming and exactly as described in the ad. The neighborhood is walkable to Forstyh Park where you can pick up the fare free bus to explore the rest of downtown Savannah. Overall, the perfect solution for our family's temporary housing needs!
Cute, cozy & convenient duplex for my daughter who's a SCAD student! This duplex has everything you need! My daughter really enjoyed staying here (the back yard was her favorite place). The old lady next door was also very sweet! The owner was also very pleasant!
I have never used this type of service and as a first timer it was all good. The unit was roomy for just the 2 of us + our midsize dog. The only draw back was the train HORN noise which nobody has control over. We felt safe in the area, nobody bothers you as you go about your business. We used this as we were relocating from Calif and had not purchased a house. The 30 days worked out perfectly for our needs. The owner responds to your inquiries and concerns quickly. The unit is nicely stocked with your basic needs in mind. It was very clean and had a fresh air about it. this unit is pretty close to every thing Savannah has to offer. If I had to do it all over again I would look to rent this unit again, ease of use, responsive owner, clean, everything is in good working order, ability to secure the unit in your absence. The listing description was accurate
