Other Things to Note:
The only bathroom is located inside the primary bedroom, which may not be ideal for all groups. Please make sure this layout works for your stay.
This is a historic building, so some quirks come with the charm—creaky floors, antique details, and all the character you'd expect from a home built in the mid-1800s.
The unit is located behind the main house, accessed via the back alley (very common in Savannah). Directions will be provided to make check-in smooth.
The property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility, as the bedrooms and bathroom are located on the second floor.
