Our Visit was too Short!
We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely and spacious home. We were close to Forsyth Park and all parts of Savannah. It was very clean and accommodating for us as we would have stayed longer, but it was already booked. We will be back and highly recommend Starland Stays as a place to book!

Terrific location steps away from Forsyth Park
This well appointed downstairs unit was an oasis of relaxation after a day of walking and bicycling around Savannah. The water pressure was good and despite being on a busy artery we were not at all bothered by street noise. There was some noise from the above unit very late at night, but in an older home this is not unexpected. Our only suggestion is the addition of a toaster to fully round out the kitchen appliances, otherwise everything else was tip-top.
We were easily able to walk to the riverfront area and access the gorgeous squares without having to use the car. If folks are in relatively decent shape we would recommend parking the car and seeing the city in a slower, more local way. Two groceries are within 2-3 blocks as is an excellent coffee shop (Sentient Bean) which makes a very refreshing mint lemonade and terrific chai as well. The Natural Foods Market is adjacent and a delightful find! We highly recommend their turkey avocado sandwich.
