Natural light fills the second bedroom, which also features a plush King size bed, a smart television, and a large closet.

Excellent location, very clean. Some road noise in one of the bedrooms but really not bad overall compared to hotels on bay street. We're planning to stay here again next time we're in town.

GREAT PLACE, GREAT LOCATION

We had a great time and loved staying here. The place is so comfortable and very clean. The best part is that it is centrally located and walking distance to everything in downtown Savannah. We will definitely stay here again when we make another trip to this beautiful city!

Couples Trip

This was a perfect property for 2 couples. 2 spacious BR w/king beds and two full baths gave us privacy with the generous living room providing a great shared space for us to talk and catch up. The building is charming. The kitchen was super small but well equipped. This was no problem as we didn’t come to cook. Location was outstanding. We used the car one time to drive to Tybee. Everything else was in easy walking distance. It would have been nice to have free parking but understandable that we had to pay since we were downtown in a size able city. Highly recommend this place.

Nice place

The neighborhood is great. Close to a lot of great places to eat and shop. The bedrooms are not very quiet though. Particularly the one facing the alley. Otherwise, it was pleasant and a nice place for my friends and I to stay. We enjoyed it .

The property was just as advertised. it was clean and in a great location to walk to so many places in Savannah. Finding the key for the property among other locks was a challenge but whenever we called with an issue, the office answered each time to help us.

Great location and extremely clean

The apartment was exactly what the pics looked like. The only complaint is it is in a very noisy location so if you are going to get sleep bring ear plugs or a sound machine.

Nice location in Savannah

We met another couple in Savannah for a long weekend. The place was very nice. We had some issues upon entry as The Address given on VRBO was different than what was on the building. But we figured it out. Also there were two keys in the lock box and one did not fit the outside door nor the door to the condo. But we figured it out just using one key and the code to get in the unit. Otherwise a great place

Absolutely perfect for our visit

This was our first time visiting Savannah and we loved it! This property was exactly what we needed and higher end than expected. It was cool staying at a renovated YMCA that still held the charm on the outside and hallways but was beautifully renovated in the unit itself. I would definitely stay here again, especially since now I know how to avoid minor check-in snafu.

Perfect for our Fall visit

We loved our stay at the Modern Retreat. The space was immaculately clean and had plenty of towels, extra bedding and kitchen supplies. The bedrooms were very spacious and we loved the 2 ensuite bathrooms.My only minor complaint was the single building key that needed to be shared. Between my husband and I, we were able to figure it out, but I can imagine if you had a larger party, this might cause some headaches.

Beautiful Apartment

The start of our experience was rocky. They switched our location of our apartment. In the app and what was texted to me were codes to get into the building and the apartment were incorrect. Once I called the help desk they were nice and helped us out. The apartment was beautifully decorated and the space was perfect for what we needed. The location is perfect! We will definitely stay here again.
