I travel for a living and have high tolerances for things being nonstandard; therefore I rarely write negative reviews. This is not a negative review but I need to bring it to your attention. On 2 of the 3 nights of my stay someone else in the house used the washer and dryer between 10pm and midnight. a loud buzzer went off no less than 5 times at 3 to 5 minute intervals each night. the machines are against the bathroom and bedroom walls and it sounds as if it is in the apartment. I did reach out to the management company the first night and they responded promptly, but the same scenario played out the next night. I stay in enough VRBO properties to know that if others experience what I did, you will have a problem with this property if you don't reach out to the other occupants of this building to rectify the situation.

Location location location! This place is ideally situated to see a lot of Savannah. Such a walkable city and we had a great time. Lucky Savannah was responsive to everything. We discovered a broken window in the bedroom that someone had not reported and they came right over to do a temporary repair.

The location was wonderful, the apartment was perfect for our needs and such a cute space. Super clean, had everything you needed. You could walk or Lyft everywhere you needed to go. It was so neat to stay in older house with an older feel but modern touches. We loved our first trip to Savannah and would stay in this apartment again!

Needed a place to stay for business and then vacation. Perfect for our needs - in the historic district and walking around several of the squares - good access to restaurants. A short uber to river street and other areas.

Location was perfect on Forsyth Park and a nice walk to the riverfront. Apartment was very nice and loads of charming space.

The apartment was well appointed and seemed to be pretty well taken care of. A few things to note is: the sofa is in need of replacing or at least new seat cushions; the dishwasher had a towel stuffed under it so it apparently does not work properly. Enjoyed the ambiance the place gave and it made it very enjoyable to just relax.

Very clean and comfortable with southern charm and a European flare. Highly recommend it. Would stay here again.

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.

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.

Reviewer Comments:
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!

Reviewer Comments:
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.

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!

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!!!

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.

Reviewer Comments:
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!

Fantastic Location & Condo
Loved the location close to Forsyth park and all the tourist attractions. Place was beautiful and clean. Would recommend it to friends/family. The only downside, which I saw others post as well was the getting into the condo. I received a text earlier in the day with a code that didn’t work on the gate or the front door. Very confusing trying to figure out what to enter where and what that text message was for. But otherwise it was fantastic.

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.
