It is a little difficult to find but turned out to be a great location. We could walk to much of Savannah's historic district. It was clean and comfortable. Maria was quick to answer when we called for directions.

Lovely Place

Such a wonderful place to stay in Savannah! Perfect walking distance to so many cool spots, and nestled in a safe community. Maria was a great host and made sure we had all of the information we needed for our stay. My only concern is that it wasn’t made clear in the property description that we would have to pay for parking, as it does say parking is included in the amenities. Otherwise, no complaints. awesome place and amazing host to book with!

A Gem in Savannah

This VRBO is in an incredible location - an easy walk so close to restaurants and coffee shops and downtown venues. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous with so many thoughtful touches, including a sound machine and a water filter and a lovingly curated selection of books. Plus, room darkening shades which allowed me to sleep in - this cozy place was the ultimate retreat!

Quick Weekend Getaway

The property was so cute and so chic! Fell in love with it and the city of Savannah! The building was a little hard to find with the direct address but Maria’s picture and description in the property notes put it in great detail on how to get to it. Great area within a 10 min walk of everything good. 10/10

Just as described

Perfectly located unit. We parked on site and only used our car once to go out to Tybee, otherwise everything you could want to do is easily walkable. The unit itself was adorable and was well appointed as just and shown and described in the listing.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Gallo

Host profile image
I adore exploring this city on foot, often accompanied by my beloved dog. You can find me regularly at the local yoga studios, embracing the peace they offer. When navigating the bustling downtown, I prefer the simplicity and charm of bicycling—it's the easiest way to get around amidst the busy streets.

Why they chose this property

I cherish our location, nestled just a block from the vibrant city center (Bull Street.) This short distance offers a wonderful blend of accessibility and peacefulness. Having lived here on four separate occasions, I can confidently say it's my favorite spot in downtown. This area exudes a soothing, secure atmosphere, making it the heart of tranquility in town.

What makes this property unique

My property holds a unique charm, a hidden gem in Savannah. Its location exudes a certain mystique, drawing you in. Once inside, you'll be captivated by the seamless blend of old-world elegance and modern comforts. The space is generously proportioned, beautifully crafted, and truly one-of-a-kind.
