Awesome location! We could walk to so many places. Such a cool apartment too. Instantly felt at home. Does it feel like something built so long ago? Yes but it's cool. Would definitely stay here again. Only drawback....There is NOT a parking spot associated with this place, so put your car in a garage and walk everywhere. If you leave it out, you will be moving it all over the place, every two hours.

Beautifully appointed historic garden level home. Near Forsyth Park in a great neighborhood for walks. The entire home was well equipped and very clean. It is a short walk to the river and many shops & restaurants.

This basement accomodation was conveniently located near the town squares of Savannah. We enjoyed our stay in Savannah and liked the proximity of this place to the park and the river shopping and restaurants. The house was built in the 1800's and staying in the place was like going back in time. It was well kept.

The apartment was clean and inviting and as described. The shared courtyard was undergoing renovation but it was a great place for morning coffee or afternoon snacks. It is close to Forsyth Park and some great restaurants. Parking right near the apt is pay, but we found free parking only a couple blocks south and east. The lovely owner lives in the main house above; she is a long time resident and has a wealth of information. We had a couple hiccups, the entry code did not work and it took longer than expected for Lucky Savannah to get us the correct code (thank goodness for the courtyard), and we had an issue with the toilet but they had a plumber there within an hour! The front entrance is a little dark even during the day and I recommend a brighter light. Overall we had a great stay and definitely plan on visiting Gaston Garden again, as well as other Lucky Savannah properties.

First the pros - great location out of town in safe suburbs, close to park and walkable 25 mins to downtown or free DOT shuttle goes close by. Apartment is large, nicely decorated with comfortable bed and good shower. Kitchen is well set up for equipment but nothing in cupboards other than salt and pepper. There is free parking close by so long as you head all street signs and any metered parks are only weekdays 8-5 at $1 per hour.
We had an issue with linen on the first night but Lucky Savannah reps were quick to respond and resolve.
On the down side the name Garden Apartment is misleading. It is entry under the steps to the house and a set into the ground. The windows are small, shuttered and set at ground level shaded by garden shrubs or set under the house decks so the apartment is very dark. There is definitely no access to a garden. There are lots of lamps but the lighting is only ambient apart from in the kitchen. The laundry seems like it might be used to service all the Lucky properties as it was very busy. The noise isn’t an issue but to do a load of washing we needed to check several times and remove a finished load so we could wash ours.
The shower over bath is good but not as in the photo. That area is raised by a large step so wouldn’t be easy to get a photo. The bath is a standard low basic hotel shrub.
We would possibly book again but the low lighting would be the main reason to hesitate.

What a wonderful spot for a vacation to enjoy beautiful Savannah! Having stayed in this apartment a few times before, we were anxious to return this year for a month, and we were not disappointed. The entrance is quite private with an easy four steps down to the front door. While the apartment is a "basement" apartment, it has a large, sunny foyer that serves as an additional room, and living room that is welcoming. The furnishings have been lovingly used, but are very comfortable. The living room has up-to-date television/wi-fi as well. The bedroom is a large, comfortable room, quiet and away from street traffic, and the king-size bed has a wonderful mattress. Since we stayed for a month, we cooked often in a very useable kitchen that has good appliances and is well outfitted. Not always mentioned are the precious courtyard that I enjoyed often and the convenient laundry room. The property is well maintained and as clean as a whistle. The location is also perfect: two blocks from Forsyth, four blocks from Krogers, and walking/driving distance to everything else. The property owner is the most gracious person, affording us privacy but delightfully warm and friendly whenever we see each other. And Lucky Savannah personnel are amazing. One year, the dishwasher leaked, and the repair was completed that same afternoon, must faster and easier than at home. Every staff member is friendly, competent, responsive, and just plain lovely. We wish there were "Lucky's" in many cities across the US. Needless to say, we would recommend this property to anyone visiting Savannah, including ourselves since, yes, we hope to return!

Great location and really neat place. Addressing the following could pull it up to 5 stars: The directions on how to unlock the gate and door were strangely organized/ordered. Recommend rewriting the directions in order of what the guest does with more prominent text for the codes. Both couches must have been covered in cat dander, as my girlfriend and I, both allergic to cats, broke out in eye swelling and sneezing within 10 minutes of sitting on them, and that was the only time it happened. Need to upgrade from a drip coffee maker to a Keurig. Both umbrellas were broken. It was also difficult to figure out the cable tv menu/guide. Could not find the trash cans outside. Finally, given how much we paid for cleaning, it was off-putting to be told I needed to take out the trash. In my first experience contacting the rental company to ask if I cou store my bags somewhere when I check out, tbe employee answered back with a cut and pasted response about the check-in policy. It did made me feel like a number and she clearly wasn't reading what I asked.

Once we got past the slightly awkward entry, we enjoyed the very spacious apartment and comfortable King bed. I suggest a few minor updates (bathroom lighting, faucet and new bathtub slip mat). It would be nice to provide coffee filters (we left some for the next guest) and HD TV. We were always able to find parking on Abercorn.

I love this place. This was our second stay. But getting in is so difficult. We arrived in the evening. Absolutely no lights on, for a halfway underground apartment. You can't see the lock box, which needs to be replaced. (The numbers barley work.) The location is awesome. The apartment is so comfortable, and beautiful. The bed sleeps like heaven. We will stay again!!!

The apartment was exactly as advertised and was the perfect place to stay for my first visit to Savannah. It was close to Forsyth Park, where I could grab a coffee as a I started my day. The apartment was clean and I felt very safe, even walking home at night from dinner. I would highly recommend to others and will use it again in the future. Parking was a small challenge but I did find a spot two blocks away that was not metered and it worked perfectly. I started my first morning on the 90 minute trolley ride, which was a great way to understand where everything was. The city is so walkable and everyone I met was very friendly. Leopold’s ice cream is a must! SCAD is very unique.

This apartment has the perfect location to see historic downtown Savannah. The décor was clean and well-chosen to represent the history of the location. Only issue we had was getting the televisions to work effectively, but we did not intend on using them often during our trip so it wasn't a large issue.
Submitted on Oct 26, 2022
I'd like to start by saying that we have special needs (husband has low vision) and not everyone will have the same experience as us.
The entry to the apt is located under the stairs, there is a very low ceiling followed by 3 concrete stairs. I am 5'1" and barely fit without ducking. My husband has to duck and maneuver the stairs. There was no light at the bottom of the stairs. Given that he is low vision this made it very difficult to get into the apt. Once we arrived, the place was clean, neat, and offered most anything you would need. I was a bit disappointed that the furniture pictured was not present. Specifically, the leather chair was not present. Not a big deal to most, but we also have a surgically repaired neck that requires a chair with neck support and we booked this room thinking that would be a comfortable chair. The replacement chair was a wicker chair without the same neck support.
The lights....the chandelier has 6 lights, only 2 of which were working. One of the tableside lights in the living room was burned out. The bedroom - one light was burned out, the other would only turn on if you maneuvered the switch between on and off. To their credit, we contacted maintenance and they came out that day. They replaced lights in the living room, we now had a light in the entryway (yay!) but bedroom lights still didn't work. We were there for a short stay so didn't bother contacting them again.
The bed was comfy, the shower was good - they provide a little bit of shampoo, conditioner and soap. There is a step up to the toilet - not a big deal to most but would be for anyone with mobility issues. The location was excellent. The path to the garden was overgrown and difficult to get to - but again, that was probably due to our special needs.

Our first trip to Savannah for a long weekend. We found this property that was centrally located and an easy walk to just about everything. Anything outside was walking was only a quick Uber away. The property was clean, well kept, cozy but not cramped and perfect for a couple. The garden area in the back was a wonderfully quiet and intimate space for relaxing. Overall, this was a great place for a long, enjoyable weekend and we would definitely stay here again.

We were in town for a wedding and to visit family. The Gaston Garden Apartment was a perfect fit. To enter the apartment you have to unlock an iron gate before you can have access to the front door.
The inside is gorgeous and comfortable. The entire apartment is a little below ground level, so there's not a whole lot of sunlight, but PLENTY of privacy. Really great for sleeping in.
Appreciated all the extras and amenities they had to offer, the full kitchen was a plus too and saved us some money from having to eat out. Close to Kroger!
We really enjoyed our stay here.

My husband and I love to visit Savannah for the historic architecture and the charming yet mysterious nature of the atmosphere. Gaston Garden was location just a block for Forsyth Park and within walking distance to 90% of what we planned to do while in town! The decor was perfect for the pre-civil era home and it stayed very cool in the low country heat! It felt like home! Thank you for sharing your space!

Grocer was within 2 blocks.

Apartment was very well appointed, clean and very Savannah; in south historic area.
Walk to River Front and lots of phenomenal restaurants.

We really enjoyed this apartment. It was very spacious! The area was quiet. It is dark since it was a basement apartment, however there was a lot of artificial lighting that could be used. We did not mind the darkness because it made it easier for sleeping in. We were disappointment in outdoor area. There was not access to it from the inside. It was dirty and looked like it was being used as a storage area. That was our only real complaint. We would recommend and book again.

Loved staying at this location. Everything we we wanted to do was minutes away. Everything we needed to be comfortable was provided. I reached out to the management agency a few times and they were quick to respond and helpful. My only thing to add is parking passes can now only be purchased from the Savannah parking authority contrary to what you may read.

The home that we were lucky enough to rent was the lower level of a beautiful Victorian home two blocks from Forsyth Park and right in the heart of the historic district and three blocks from the grocery store. PERFECT!! The home was spacious, the most comfortable bed to lay down after a very busy day and quiet. It was so relaxing. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Both positives and negatives. On the positive side, place was good size, clean, comfortable, and good location. On the negative side, difficult to initially check in (instructions were wrong), dark entry at night (no light), no instructions for operating the TV's and remotes (TV never did operate in the bedroom), and worst of all there was the odor of gas always around the entrance and sometimes into the living room.

By its cover, you’d want to scroll on by. The doorway is hidden; however, the entrance to a treasure trove is never large. The apartment is extremely comfortable and very well appointed. It’s easy to feel at home in this spacious home. The mix of modern and antique give this place a “boho vibe.” The proximity to Forsyth Park, the waterfront, and everything in between is nice, actually, perfect.

Overall a very nice place to stay. Would probably stay again but there are a couple of maintenance items that should be finished off or done to maintain the integrity of the property. Did have an issue with the code but Candice with Lucky Savannah was great in assisting us with a new code and making sure we were able to access entry.

Very conveniently located historic apartment that was built before the Civil War! How cool! We walked many places, including some of the Squares, Visitor's Center and River Street. The property was clean with plenty of comfortable room. Kitchen was stocked well, and we cooked a lot while we were there. It would be good to update some electrical since microwave and toaster pulled too much current to be used at the same time. But that wasn't an issue for us.
Garden and terrace appeared not to be ready for guests this year. Items were stored there, and it was overgrown and not cleaned. Maybe they are revamping this area?
This property has entry steps and a step in the bathroom, so it isn't a good choice for mobile disabilities. It was really dark with shutters closed, but we weren't there during the day so that was no problem. Bathroom needs better lighting so you can see to shave/apply makeup, etc.
Activity at the back door caused a little concern. We returned one evening to hear the washer/dryer in use. We decided that it must be shared with the upstairs owner/tenant. Or maybe we weren't supposed to use it? A neighbor knocked on the door to help an exterminator gain entrance. Wonderful lady! But, I would have been really freaked if I had been alone. A little better communication in the paperwork and a text that an exterminator is coming would solve these issues.
While we feel the property needs a few updates and some communication changes, we were pleased with the property and loved the location.

We loved our Savannah VRBO! Our apartment was such a wonderful place to stay. Very spacious & inviting! We felt at home the whole time we were there.
The only downside..the parking!
By the time we arrived in Savannah, the Visitor Center had closed & we weren’t able to purchase a parking pass.
The kiosk nearby, we couldn’t get our info to work..how frustrating!
Driving around the downtown area would have been nice..if we could have found a parking place. After going around the block several times, accidentally turning on to a one-way street(trying to get into a parking garage)...we gave up.
We, even asked 4 different people(in different parts of town)..near our apartment..how to maneuver the parking one could give us a good answer, that would have helped us!
We strongly recommend this beautiful garden apartment...just be more prepared than we were..when it comes to the parking situation.
Staying on the “outskirts” of Savannah will be our future priority.

my comments deter you away from this little gem. A little difficult finding at first and there was no info given on lock box before arriving. More info would be better for future guess the porch needs to be cleaned, the couch was not inviting a little to antique for my comfort. More posted info for trash, laundry and requirements is needed. Laundry area was not inviting wasn't really sure if we was allowed to use. Everything is with in walking distance. Beautiful and amazing area. I would do it again!

Check in process more cumbersome than necessary. The multiple codes (3) required to get into the apt seemed excessive. We arrived one hour early, no further housekeeping arrived in that hour, but were not permitted to enter unless additional money paid.
The apartment is dark, every light needed to be turned on in order for it to feel comfortably lit. Several bulbs required replacement.
As the apt is at the corner and traffic noise not surprising, the continuous car/bus sounds were too much, night as well as day. The bedroom sits behind a loud refrigerator and louder furnace. When we turned the dishwasher on before leaving we were thankful we hadn't put that on prior to trying to fall asleep. Suggest upgrading or replacing. A few more towels would've been nice. King fitted sheet wouldn't stay on the mattress.

We did not take advantage of the free public transportation (The DOT) which has many stops in the downtown area. Great location!

This apartment is close to many sites in historic Savannah, including Forsyth Park, stops for the free bus and the on/off trolleys, excellent restaurants, and several historic houses.

Even the bathroom has a step.

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!!

I enjoyed my visit to Savannah staying at the Gaston Garden Apartment. I've listed a few bullet points regarding the rental;
1.The property management company didn't tell us the code to the lock-box for the gate until we got there and called. There are 2 numbers you need to get inside.
2.The place is very clean and includes everything you need to cook. Only seasoning in the kitchen is salt and pepper.
3.The Internet was out for 3/4 days. The first day it worked fine however the homeowner said they tried to reach Comcast. No biggie but that was annoying
4.The park is less than 2 blocks away. Very beautiful
5. Most Ubers are about $6 to main streets further downtown. Its really a 10 minute walk if the weathers nice. Location is quite and quaint. No problems of security and very quiet.
6. There is a shared laundry room downstairs. It was very surprising when I opened the door and saw another tenant from the building. FYI

When we first arrived we struggled with getting the key pad on the gate door to open. We tried the passcode repeatedly over about 15 minutes. We called the office for assistance. The representative was friendly but unable to help online. Eventually the key box opened so we could acces the key to the gate door lock. The key lock box was also difficult to close once we accessed the key. We had the same struggle to open the key box when we left and needed to return the gate key. I think the key box needs to be replaced. The house itself was cozy, friendly and clean. It is located just a couple of minutes from Forsyth Park. Although within walking distance to the Savannah action (15-20 minute walk) we found taking the free fare city bus to our preferred destination worked best for us. Once to the destination we could walk at a more leisurely pace and stop to view our surroundings. We slept great in the king size bed. It was very comfortable. However, we had a problem with the fitted sheet. It wouldn’t stay tucked so was a little annoying. We used the washer and dryer which was convenient and worked well. Good water pressure in the shower. Good internet and cable connections. We could see the House garden through the window and from the exterior grounds. However we couldn’t access it. A key was left in the house labeled as garden gate key but the key wouldn’t open the garden gate. Not sure what that was all about. The representative came by with some extra keys but none of those worked either. But it wasn’t a big loss. Most of our outdoor time was not spent at the house. Even with these couple of inconveniences I would definitely use the rental again and suggest it to others.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at this cottage garden, we were in the perfect location down the street from forsynth Park. We were quite comfortable at the apartment it was spacious enough for the two of us and the full kitchen allowed us to have some meals at home rather then spend money on B/L/D every day, that was great savings for me. The washer and dryer also came in very handy half way through our week and we washed ball our clothes before we left, no laundry to do coming home. The living room was comfortable to hang out and watch tv at the end of the day, and there is also a tv in the bedroom. As a single mom traveling with my daughter I also appreciated the way the first iron gate was locked behind us and there was an electronic code to get in our door, once in I felt safe.

We had an awesome time in savannah. First time there and we did all the tourist stuff. Our place was close to forsyth park and they had a special art show on saturday that made for a fun day. the property is in the basement and a little dark. Every morning we got up and thought it was rainy and cloudy only to walk outside and have it be sunny.
Other than that, it worked out perfectly. Nice quiet neighborhood, and everything worked fine. You have to remember this is probably a house that is over 100 years old, so expect some quirks.

This apartment was the perfect location for us first-timers in Savannah without a rental car. A block to Forsyth Park, and a block to the Kroger Market, and walking distance to almost all of Historical Savannah.
The bed was comfy, the sofa comfy, everything worked as expected, plenty of hot water, no internet issues, and no issues with the lockbox and keypad for entrance. All utensils to cook and eat any meal.Very little noise from the neighbors on a quiet street. The only thing I would like better is if it was brighter, but being a basement apartment on a tree lined street probably makes all of Savannah less bright than I would like.The unit could use some TLC, but it is a 150 year old house, and clean with no odors that I could smell.
We emailed LS for some un-important questions, and they got back to us promptly. We loved walking the whole neighborhood. Clary's is just a few blocks away, and across the street is Mirabelle's, which we walked down for coffee every morning. Our favorite attractions were the Bonaventure Cemetery with Bonaventure Don's tour. The green and orange trolley is very good for an overview, especially if you are a first-timer to Savannah. Behind Forsyth Park is a good BBQ restaurant...the Sandfly.

We thought the apartment had a lot of character and we enjoyed our stay. It had all the essential items we needed and it was in a nice quiet area. You do have to pay attention to the parking signs, but we never had a problem finding a space. A suggestion we have is it could really use a full length mirror. The small bathroom mirror is not quite sufficient. Some of the towels and washcloths were pretty rough and could be replaced. Overall a great stay!

The customer service was fast and helpful with a small issue on the door code.

Everything was wonderful, great apartment, just locked out of the patio and garden area which we were really not happy about.

Perfect location for city getaway
Submitted on Sep 14, 2017
My husband and I stayed at this garden apartment for 5 nights. Even though we were only there in the morning and late evenings, I would not hesitate to stay there again, and we have every intention of returning. The apartment is adorable and very inviting. It is in the perfect location. It's close to the park in a quiet more residential area, while still being an easy walk to almost anywhere. There are tons of pamphlets on the entryway table that has info on anything you could possibly want to know more about. The bedroom is still pretty dark into the late morning if you prefer to sleep in a little on vacation. The area seemed very safe even at night, so you can do the late night hearse or ghost tours and not worry about walking home too late. Which is also where being able to sleep in came in handy. We could hear people occasionally moving around on the floor above us, but never heard voices. Privacy was never an issue. Parking is metered directly beside the residence. On the other side of that same street was non-metered and seemed to be a more popular place to park. We did the all day passes at the visitor center. Parking was never an issue. A few caveats, by no means a deal breaker for us. The bed is quite soft. If you are use to a firm mattress or high density memory foam it can be hard on your back. The ceiling fan in the master is very low and easy to hit your head on if very tall or even changing too close to the fan. You will need the fan too because it gets warm in the bedroom. Again, very minor issues. The residence was otherwise great, and Lucky Savannah was wonderful as well. The apartment is not super sleek snd modern, but if that's your thing, you just came to the wrong city. We loved it.

VERY CUTE, great price, wonderful service, perfect location, felt safe, very clean.. The only things I think that could be improved are the smell of the apartment (it has kind of a musky smell). This could be something that is native to Savannah that I am just not used to. Don't let that scare you - it wasn't bad and we got used to it very quickly. It was just different at first. Also the bathroom does not have a fan to vent the steam from the shower.. again not a big deal just a small issue. Its in the historic district so we weren't expecting all the bells and whistles. Definitely an older apartment with "historic" vibes. Overall we had a fantastic trip and I would highly recommend this apartment and lucky Savannah.

Location was excellent, easy to walk to everything in the historic district. The courtyard garden in back was a great place to eat breakfast, see birds, enjoy the beautiful weather. The kitchen was well appointed--there was nothing we needed that wasn't there. If you plan on cooking, there was only pepper and salt there, so come prepared. WE had trouble trying to figure out how to turn the TV on--someone from Lucky Sav came over and re-set it. I would recommend instructions in the guest book telling which remotes did what and what channels had to be on to save themselves a trip.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious with a nice living area, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bed and bath area. This part of town in quieter than the places we have stayed a few blocks over in the historic district. I especially liked that the bed was very comfortable. We would stay here again.

This home was everything it said! First of all Lucky Savannah property management was the best to deal with! The home was in a great part of town. I'm very particular when it comes to where I stay. This home was spotless. The bed was so comfortable, could have stayed there all day! We will only rent through Lucky Savannah, we were very pleased!

We used to live in Savannah and when we decided to return for a visit we knew that the location for our home base would be really important. And this was just right for being quiet enough, but close to the park and all that we wanted to get around to. Very clean and had what we needed for the weekend.
Lucky Savannah was great, they were responsive and the app was easy to use. I also liked having a keycode front door, one less thing to lose.
A few comments about the apartment, I was a little surprised by the light level because the photos show it as brighter than it is inside. Of course, it is a garden apartment, but it was darker than the photos showed, and the lens used for the photos makes it appear taller than it was in person.
Bed was fine, but the pillows were were all stuffed full so there wasn't a good option for those of us who like soft pillows. Lastly - I didn't know how to get to our outside space, we loved the outdoor space in the photos, but I didn't know how to get to our space...or if it was ours since the side gate was locked. It didn't matter in the end - we ran out of time enjoying the city!

Working with Lucky Savannah was a dream! The management team was so attentive and accommodating, shout out to Brooke who helped us when our travel plans changed! The location of our place was walking distance to everything, super clean, and beautifully decorated. You will not be disappointed when planning with Lucky Savannah!

Great location to Forsyth Park and Old Town Trolly Tour Stop. Close parking options. Beautiful building and garden.
The king bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bedroom was spacious. The bathroom was good enough, but not anything special. The toilet was not bolted well to the floor and could be moved with ease. This could pose an issue with sanitation eventually and does not bode well for the overall upkeep of this apartment.
The kitchen was very useful and had all the conveniences of a short stay.
The living room and dinning table were barely usable. The dinning table chandelier light was not working. From reading the guest book, it has been like that for some time. This makes for eating dark meals, not exactly what you expect.
The living room furniture is all completely worn out. It seems to be pieced together from thrift stores. Everything is old and uncomfortable. The cushions are all flat and do not provide any support whatsoever. Certainly does not live up to the picture or equate to the value charged.
TV is basic non HD cable.
The check in check out process was very simple and efficient. The app was also very useful for the stay.

Close to many of the must sees in the Historic District - a block from Forsyth Park, the Cathedral, and many that quaint shops, restaurants and bars. For those of you who are tall, be careful of the entrance. You will bang your head if you don't bend down.

When we stayed, Savannah was in the midst of a cold snap, but when we arrived at the Gaston Street Apartment, the heat had been turned on and the lights, also. It was a very warm welcome, literally. To say that the unit was spacious would be an understatement. The bathroom was immaculate, water pressure was good, and the fragrance of the toiletries was inexplicably comforting. The hosts had attended to many details, such as providing flashlights useful for evening jogs in the park.

Nicely furnished with comfortable king size bed. Felt like we were going home after a day exploring this wonderful city. Parking is on the street which was no issue at all. Everything went as planned planned which is unusual when all planning is done over the Internet. While in Savannah this will be where we will stay. Y'all will love this large apartment for 2.

My sister and I had a wonderful time on our recent trip to Savannah. Our Gaston Gdn. apt. was wonderful: very spacious, well-maintained,lovely furniture, well-equipped kitchen, close to grocer and the entire historic district. We had a small problem with the entry code but sorted it out with management, which was professional, friendly, and attentive. We toured several historic homes and Bonaventure Cemetery,took a ghost tour, lots of shopping!! Walked everywhere and would recommend the hop-on, hop-off bus for one day. Highly recommend Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room for lunch and The Olde Pink House for a special dinner, plus The Public (great Happy Hour), on Bull St., the Gryphon Tea Room on Madison Square, and the Kayak Cafe on Broughton St.(the best pecan pie ever!). A fabulous trip, would definitely recommend the Gaston!!

We came to Savannah for my husband to participate in the half marathon. Our rental was in the perfect spot. We walked everywhere - grocery store, several beautiful parks, down to the riverwalk, and all the shops and restaurants in between. The apartment was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.

Gaston Street is a great location if you want to see Savannah by foot. The apt. is very comfortable and well stocked. We especially appreciated that Lucky Savannah immediately sent two internet professionals over when we called to say we were having internet issues. The only slight inconvenience we encountered was the towels never quite dried due to the humidity. A bathroom fan would help somewhat. But as there is a clothes dryer to use, it really wasn't a major problem. We would most definitely stay again if we return to Savannah.

Very homey and comfortable. Great garden and seating area. Have been to Savannah, owned and rented and this is great. Kitchen is stocked with dishes, pots pans etc. Plenty of everything. Walking distance to everything. Shouldn't give such a good review, we might not be able to book next year.

What a perfect spot for a quiet getaway! We spent our days walking to the river front and made it to every square. Took advantage of the delicious food scene. Cotton and Rye, 11 Ten, The Olde Pink House and Collins Quarter were all excellent. Ended our evenings with a glass of wine at Forsyth Park just a block away. Perfect!

My wife and I really liked our stay in Savannah. The apartment was the perfect home based. We walked everywhere (except for a couple of side trips) and enjoyed being so close to Forsyth Park. The on street parking was a breeze and free if you pay attention to the street signs. This was by far the best four nights of our two week vacation.

My wife and I stayed for a weekend getaway. The property was very clean and well-decorated. The neighborhood was very quiet. The apartment is located very close to Forsyth Park and about 1 mile from River Street.
Please pay attention to the street signs about the street sweeping schedules. I got a parking ticket but it was completely my fault because I overlooked the sign.
We did have a slight problem with retrieving the keys from the lockbox (mostly due to operator error) but after a call to the good folks at Lucky Savannah they were able to assist.

Stayed from Jan. 2,2014 to April 2, 2015. Enjoyed every moment. The apartment was very comfortable and almost made you forget you were not in your own home with all of the comforts it had to offer. Great place to stay for a short visit or long term rental. Everyone associated with the apartment helped make it a carefree stay. Do it again in a second.
