We loved this place. The apartment is beautiful and spacious. The location is perfect for walking all over Savannah. We parked in the garage across the square and didn’t take the car out until we were leaving.
We had a wonderful time exploring Savannah and visiting with family during the Thanksgiving holidays. Our VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants and in walking distance to sites in the historic district. We would 100% stay again.
We loved being in historic Savannah. We could walk to about anything we wanted to see. Lot of great restaurants one or two blocks away. What a great host, generous, helpful proactive and made a point to check in a few times to make sure we are comfortable. I highly recommend this host and property!

We picked this because of the location and it fit our needs perfectly. We wanted to be close by to the waterfront and shopping and in walking distance to restaurants. The unit is spacious with high ceilings and is located on a nice square full of history. We had good luck with parking also.
The stay was short but nice. The location was 3 blocks away from the river. Rooms is excellent and the second room has a patio view to the street and park. Excellent getaway.
Very nice location towards the center of Savannah. It makes for a very good walkable vacation.
Just be aware, this location is on the 3rd floor via stairs. Also, master bathroom's shower can be a tight fit to enter if you are a little overweight. Both of these were fine for our group, but won't meet everyone's needs.
We would stay here again.
This property was perfect for two couples - two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms plus a really spacious common area. Communication with the host was also fantastic, and the location is great - close to Broughton Street and a lot of landmarks but far enough away from the main drag to be nice and quiet. The balcony overlooking the square is a really neat touch.
Our only recommendations are a bit more of a thorough cleaning in the bathrooms and an upgrade to the provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash included in the listing. Our unit had a watered-down shampoo and two conditioners but no body wash. It’s a small detail but one we definitely would have noticed!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience at the Historic Dickerson House in Savannah. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how beautifully decorated and comfortable the home was. The two bedrooms were spacious, and the entire house had everything we needed for our two-night stay. My husband and I, along with another couple, found the space to be just what we needed. The location was absolutely ideal—not only was it beautiful, and close to all the action but it was also incredibly convenient with a parking deck nearby. The hosts were amazing; they were very responsive and their suggestions for things to do around the city were spot-on. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable Savannah trip. I would definitely rent this property again the next time I am in Savannah.
This place was just as advertised - perfect location and walkable to many sites. Even though we had to use street parking (we purchased a 2 day visitors pass), we were able to find parking nearby.
The Fam Jam had a great time in Savannah thanks to our accommodations. The location was excellent. Easy walk to River Street, Forsyth Park and City Market. The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed. We really enjoyed our stay.
Great location and property. Loved the look and everything was close enough to walk. We were there sun-thurs , originally i was concerned with parking but we had no issues at all there was always parking available nearby. Property was clean and really comfortable!
We only needed a one night stay but could have easily satiated for days. Beds were VERY comfortable and the whole unit was clean and accessible for all of our group. Elevator was a huge plus with our bikes and luggage. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
This was a great and quiet location to stay and had a very historical feel to it. Sitting in the living room listening to the horse carriages in the street gave the impression I had traveled back in time! The only thing I was worried about was the parking, but there were plenty of street parking close by and it was cheaper than parking at a hotel. Would stay here again.
As a Savannah native returning to town with friends to show off the city, I could not ask for a more picturesque location. Accommodations were beautiful and the location is perfect for walking nearly anywhere in the historic district.
Property owner was easy to communicate with, and we knew they were there in case we needed them! Thanks again for opening your place to us.
