It's hard to beat this loft when staying in Savannah. It's location can't be beat. Even though there is no parking, there is a parking garage only 2 blocks away. Once here, you really don't need your car to enjoy the historic district. It's close to a lot of really good restautants (Huey's, Chart House and the Boars Head Grill, just to name a few). The loft is spacious and well furnished. Make sure to stop by the Goldon House Gallery and see Vincent Golshani's wonderful original paintings.
I certainly hope this loft is available on my next trip to Savannah.

My wife and I were looking for a place to enjoy our 4th anniversary. Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this place. This is the most amazing flat. The excitement of seeing the red door when we arrived...we opened that door to a room that far exceeded even the pictures. We went out on the balcony like giddy little kids to find a 3-masted classic sailing ship parked right in front of us. We parked the car in the lot right on river street and it hasn't moved since. We've walked...taken tour trolleys (highly recommended for your first day in town) and have seen the great things that Savannah has to offer. Oh...and River street...yup...great place to eat, drink and be merry! The great part is we were able to relax in our room and we don't miss anything because the balcony overlooks river street. Some beers and wine in the fridge and you can people watch all day. Heck...they'll be looking up at you jealously wondering why they didn't stay there! Don't think twice about this place...the history is literally in the walls (seriously...finding notes tucked in the bricks was one of our favorite activities!!). What a wonderful flat. No complaints. We'll be back. :)

My husband, adult daughter and I stayed at this fabulous loft back in January 2012. I have a small group of woman that come to Savannah every year for our annual girls weekend, and I have been looking at this place for a couple of years, but it was never available. I was finally able to plan a trip to Savannah when it was available, and it was well worth the wait.
Aubrey & Kim were a delight to work with and they were able to answer all of my questions in a timely manner. The description of the condo is very accurate, and although the photos of the place are what got my interest, they don't do the place justice. It's even better than the pictures.
The location is wonderful - Lower Factors Walk just off of the Bernard Street ramp, it is easy walking distance to everything. We rode the train, and it was a $15 cab ride from the Amtrak station. After that, we were able to either walk to our destination or hop on the free DOT shuttle, which has stops at various locations in the northern part of the historic district. We were able to have breakfast at Goose Feathers; lunch at Vinny Van Go Go’s (best Pizza), Spanky’s (shout out to Lauren & Freddy) & Crystal Beer Parlor (the absolute BEST crab stew); and dinner at Kevin Barry’s (Rueben) & Fiddler’s (Oysters). And I can never go to Savannah without spending one night at Savannah Smiles.
As for the loft, there is only one word - unbelievable. The wood floors, the brick walls, the balcony overlooking the river and street, it was just incredible. But the best part was about to come. The bedding was phenomenal. From the king size bed, to the Murphy bed, and the sofa bed - all of them were so comfortable - it was hard to get out of bed in the morning! And the comfort didn’t stop with the beds, it continued with the rest of the furniture.
The full kitchen was an added bonus. We had the option of being able to stay in and cook our own meals, and the convenience of having a full size refrigerator to store our leftovers when we decided to eat out.
At no time did 3 adults feel crowded in the 1 bedroom. The fact that there is a second full bath makes it perfect for more than 1 couple, and I believe it would be great for 4 to possibly 6 people with no problems. I hope to be able to book the condo again for our next annual girls weekend because the ladies will love this place.
Sorry that it has taken me so long to write a review on this wonderful place, but I really am not sure that I want to share this secret gem!

Our family travelled to Savannah for a long weekend, my parents and us 3 kids, and we had a blast, and loved the loft. My sisters & I had a great time walking around Savannah, and our parents felt safe letting us go out along the river, and downtown on our own. (We are all teenagers.) We loved the full movie channel lineup on the cable TV, and the AC rocked!

Our family enjoyed a beautiful, warm Spring weekend in Savannah at this amazing loft facing River Street. We parked the car in the lot just outside and never moved it until we packed up to leave! The location was perfect for walking around the city, enjoying all that Savannah has to share. We especially loved sitting on the balcony watching the cargo ships go by and all of the great people watching. Thank you for the comfortable furnishings and all the well thought out amenities. We hope to come back again and again!

On this trip, I went with my family to this amazing loft for a long weekend and thought it was great. It was kinda old but perty nice. I liked the location, and going out on the balcony was pretty cool. I would go again, and I think my family plans on it.

An absolutely fabulous location; right on the river, close to all the shops & restaurants......we parked our car & never went back until we had to finally leave. Had a spectacular time walking all around downtown Savannah, watching the boats sail by, and sitting on the terrace to "people watch". Such fun! The Loft is tastefully appointed, with a great deal of historical architecture and such; exposed brick, original beams, etc. Very efficient and comfortable AC system which made the Loft heaven to return to after a full day out in the hot sun. We vacationed with our teenage daughters & there was plenty of room, 2 bathrooms, and space to spread out comfortably for all. HIGHLY recommend this for any and all travelers, and we will absolutely be back again, and again, and again.........

My wife and I had the privilege of staying at the River Street apartment in May. Our contact with Teresa beforehand couldn't have been nicer or more informative - she gave us excellent directions and recommendations. This was our second trip to Savannah - last time we stayed at the Mansion on Forsyth Park in a lovely corner room but this was actually better! More room, a really lovely open and characterful space and the attention to detail as well as the luxurious and tasteful furnishings made our stay unforgettable. That, and the incredible view over River Street, watching the people, and ships, go by. Given the restrictions of the 18th century building and where it was, we enjoyed a quiet and relaxing stay. And even though River Street is one end of Savannah (one you must see though), everything was in walking distance. We couldn't ask for more and will definitely be back!!!

We are still in the condo as I write this review. This is a nice place for up to six people. Only drawback is two of the beds are in the common area. It is spacious and has everything one would need for a vacation. The location is perfect for the restaurants and shops on River St. The "tourist" area of the street is normally serviced by a streetcar on Thurs-Sun but unfortunately was out of service for our stay so we didn't see all of the sights. We don't walk that far anymore. Our major complaint was the large ligths in the alleyway across from the bedroom windows. They come on at night to light the way and REALLY light up the bedroom. Even closing the blinds and drapes isn't enough if you have trouble sleeping. Some heavier drapes would be a boon. Parking can be a real problem depending how far away one wants to park. There is a city-owned parking garage about two blocks away and there are some small lots on River St. too. Be sure to get the visitor's parking permit! save you a lot of money. The place has a full kitchen but there are no grocery stores within walking distance that we could find so if you want anything along those lines get them on the way. There is an ice machine in the fridge which helps.
The pictures here at the website are very accurate as far as how the place looks. They don't do it justice as to it's size It is a lot bigger than it looks which is great.

Owners response:
Thank you for your great review. We have had no issue before with the lights from the alley that come into the bedroom at night but will consider a heavier drapery in the bedroom. We
like the lights there as it is certainly a security feature. The closest grocery is Kroger on Gwinnett either by car or bicycle and doing your shopping on your trip in would eliminate another trip out. We do supply enough toiletries and coffee supplies for a weekend.
Since your stay was during the week, there is a charge for parking in the lot across the street and parking passes are a great idea so you don't have to feed the meters but parking from Friday @ 5:00 pm to Monday morning @ 8:00 am is free in those lots so someone staying the weekend can park for free during those times.
5/11 Update - We have installed light blocking draperies in the master which block out any
lights coming in.

Condomium is perfectly located in the Factory Walk area along the river but may be difficult for those with difficulty walking. Plenty of space with 2 large bathrooms and comfortable daybed within the kitchen area. Parking is actually not a problem and the balcony view makes it all the more special viewing the incredible container ships & other activity along the river. Masterbed mattress needs replacing soon! Very clean and comfortable.

We have stayed in Savannah several times and we were doing a long weekend with another couple. We have done Bed and Breakfasts and hotels in the area but were looking something different. This place is an old cotton warehouse that has been converted. A really great room with a great view. Full kitchen and laundry. We arrived, set up bar, walked everywhere we wanted to go and had a great time. And it was cheaper than anywhere else. First rate accommodations and a great location. Great for 2 couples.
